Since cunt is a vagina, when used in a negative connotation, to me it's adding negativity to vaginas, like vaginas are a BAD thing or a negative thing.
I still use it a lot though because I like the look of shock on people's faces 😂🤷♀️
Why are you putting trans people and cancer girls in the same sentence!? One is a self afflicted mental issue and the other one is a physical disease that kills so many, Fuck you dumb cunt I'm with JKR now thanks to your stupidity!
Oh, cool. So you must be a leading expert in psychology? Top of your field if you’re going against what every renowned psychological study has said, right? Where did you study? Harvard? Stanford? UCLA? Surely one of the Ivies? 🙄
Yikes, there're other countries that haven't fallen off the common sense wagon you know, maybe expend your horizons a bit and don't make the mental anguish of a very few the concern of a lot, maybe next time you won't have a right wing dictator winning your elections, just saying..
What fascist? that author lady that doesn't nurture your delusions? Nice handle btw, doesn't scream degenerate from a mile away. Are you the type of person that needs to go around a new neighborhood when moving by any chance?
"Degenerate" is literally nazi terminology. Im sorry your illiterate and bitter but try noticing the mirror held up to your face everytime you say "delusion"
Degenerate is a word similar to deplorable I'm not giving Nazi's control of vocabulary. It's already bad enough that Americans put them in control of the world I reckon.
In the meanwhile I'm holding a conversation with you in what is effectively my third language yet somehow I'm illiterate and
You should learn biology better. Just because you don't experience something and just because it is rare in a population doesn't mean it isn't real for someone else. There is vast diversity in all of Creation; why take such a narrow viewpoint?
There you said it "rare" the key word yet now somehow with all this media attention you'd think 25% of the population is affected which is not the case they made this hypothetical issue so big it got Trump to win the election.
Simple, don't fucking compare trans girls with cancer girls and don't act like this affects 25% of the population and decouple gender crap from politics or the republicans will just keep winning.
Nah corrective non fixable surgery for kids is great! especially when they're coached into it by their celeb parents, the media or other freaks. This kinda rhetoric is what put Trump in office and yet you won't learn from it. So yeah deep rooted mental issues.
No a Nazi rigged and out him there. You’re just an ignorant asshole who thinks theyre better than everyone else because you don’t understand something, so you lash out because you’re scared of your world changing. Guess what it changed a long time ago and time to move on or mind your own business
You don’t even need to reach that far. She said the werewolves were stand-in’s for gay people and AIDs. There’s two. The “good one” who needs to take medication to be safe around children and the other one who refuses because he likes being dangerous around kids.
I believe she meant it as a metaphor for people who are stigmatized for a health condition.
I remember a time when people thought aids sufferers shouldn’t be allowed around children.
And when you’ve only got two characters with it and one is described like this;
“Fenrir Greyback grinned, showing pointed teeth. Blood trickled down his chin and he licked his lips slowly, obscenely.
‘But you know how much I like kids, Dumbledore.’
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince”
Well we are referring to werewolves. One is shown as a monster the other is shown in a more sympathetic light. I don’t see anything to condemn Rowling for. Statistically I’m sure there are examples of Aids patients who are saints and some who are far from it.
“Fenrir Greyback grinned, showing pointed teeth. Blood trickled down his chin and he licked his lips slowly, obscenely.
‘But you know how much I like kids, Dumbledore.’
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince”
I'm 63 and remember the Gay Panic era with excruciating vividity. My mother threatened to throw me out on the street when I was 12 if I turned out queer. Anita Bryant. Reagan letting gay men die of AIDS. It happened.
I’m not American but Dutch. These situations are terrible and devastating but rear.
I’m sorry your parents were such short minded f*ckers.
The Netherlands are more open for other preference. I always thought it was completely normal to be slightly different.
Wait, I thought she billed herself as a homeless woman, living in her car and writing the first HP book? Then her ex sued her because they were still legally married when she got rich. Or was that all made up?
IM SO PISSED OFF, i actually like her damn books, she’s a HATE FILLED WACK JOB? what a waist of talent…or am I missing something, is she using reverse psychology, saying nonsense to demonstrate how stupid people sound being anti LGBTQIA…I offended someone and they responded to me, unbelievable
Oh wow... a few mean words on the internet... welcome to the internet where you can find worlds smallest violin play for you over 10h so you can feel sad someone said some mean words... oh boohuu... i love harry potter, but i hate the writer behind it for her dumb stunt of hate. Eeehw brothah...
Rowling continues to use her platform to spread harmful rhetoric against trans people, ignoring the overwhelming consensus of science & human rights organizations. Trans rights are human rights and no amount of fear-mongering will change that. Solidarity with the trans community today and always.
Even science still applies to Trans People. However, JK Rowling should have been careful about what she said 'cause now almost everyone in the LGBTQ+ Community hates her.
People are of the impression people like this suddenly MORPH into something ignorant and hateful. No, that’s who they ALWAYS were and getting to know more about them as human beings exposed their true identity.
I don’t understand JKR’s beef with trans people. Why does she, with so much money and the ability to do anything she wants to, obsess over people with gender disphoria- a condition I am so thankful I don’t have.
Because she has everything a person could want, and then she got bored and decided she needed some action; instead of Dolly Partoning her way to donating books and money to good causes, she's decided she wanted to make some people's lives miserable.
Alternatively, "I respect every trans person’s right to live any way that feels authentic and comfortable to them. I’d march with you if you were discriminated against on the basis of being trans." Potato, potahto, I guess...
Ah another fuckin dumb ass TERF "women aren't sacks of meat".... promotes biological essentialism which is everyone is sacks of meat with no consciousness DOH
It makes me SO sad as a teacher that I can’t promote her books anymore. They really do hook the kids. And as a lifelong reader they were my all time favorite before I realized JK is an Umbridge.
Also her kids books are full of racism and antisemitism. She's got a couple adult books under the pen name Robert Gailbraith(the father of gay conversion torture's name) where the entire focus is mistreating trans folk, too
So you could but you choose not to because you can’t bring yourself peacefully disagree on an issue, or separate the art from the artist. In friendship, that’s an anti-intellectual position to take.
Don’t be so triggered. I don’t understand why you’re yelling at me. Immanuel Kant is a prime example. He has some really atrocious ideas about women and races, and (I think) is a bang on hypocrite for not living his philosophy. And yet, it’s hard to imagine western philosophy without him.
I can’t bring myself to peacefully disagree? How exactly is not reading her books for the 10th time violent? I don’t use dr sure either….why support hate and racism when I can support other people who aren’t bigots???? And you are judging me?? 😂😂
She can think whatever she wants. That’s not my problem with her. Using her fame to speak out against a group of innocent people is harmful. I hate everything Liz Cheney stands for and believes in but I have total respect for her because she speaks out to help other people.
I don't think JKR is a full-on annohilationist (at least not at this point in her radicalization). She is however OK with allying with and platforming people who do advocate trans annihilation, and I do believe she would be OK with trans annihilationist policy if it came to that.
She’s a feminist.
What do feminist do?
They fight for women’s rights.
Biological men competing in women’s sports is a violation of women’s rights.
Biological men/rapists in women’s prisons is a violation of women’s rights.
That’s why she cares.
Have yet to see any proof that a trans woman who has undergone hormone therapy for more than two years still has an advantage over cis women in sports.
As for rape, that threat is coming from inside the house from straight cis men.
A person who went through male puberty has a different bone structure. Hormone therapy does not (significantly) change that.
So, there's no danger for women outside of their house? 🤦♀️
If your husband is abusive you can leave.
What can a women do who's in prison with a biological man?
Again your opinion about physical advantage in sports, has not played out in reality. Hormone therapy reduces muscle mass and takes away the testosterone advantage. If and when a remaining physical advantage is actually proven then further conversations should occur.
Oh yes, it has played out in reality. But there are cases where women were still able to win.
Muscle mass is reduced by hormone therapy. Bone structure and the height of person are not. The size of a person is a clear advantage in competitions.
I hope this conversations will happen - without hate!
The only men in prisons are usually the guards, I have never felt afraid around a trans woman. Again it is cis men that are the biggest threat there. However there have been cis women who have raped another woman in prison. If your issue is rape in prison then be honest about who the threats are.
Trans-women (biological man) are in women's prisons in several countries and women have been sexually assaulted and raped by trans-women.
Because women have raped women in prison it's ok to put men there too?
I'm not afraid of trans women, but I'm afraid of convicted rapists who claim to be trans.
On top of other common dominators, like sticking with their higher power although they've reviewed every possible proof and enough chances & revives from R.
Billionaires love to throw their weight around but they are aghast at the very thought of the virtually powerless even voicing their negative opinions of them
It's almost like you've never seen her tweets lol. This pic is definitely from an Onion article, is satire. How naive are you to say that nobody is against trans people, or that the rhetoric she's been using (which has only gotten more extreme!) isn't fundamentally harmful to trans ppl...
She’s such a bigoted cow, with apologies to the cow! What the F is wrong with her?! She makes me so angry, people with that much hate in their (cold) heart need to keep their mouth shut and stop spreading the hate!
My facts are sound. They claim to be transgender and that’s a lot of the problem. There are many dicey chancers and bandwagon jumpers that have found an angle and it’s impossible to know who is and who isn’t.
Transgender and Transvestites are two completely different people.
Transgender can be a female or male that is in the wrong body and MAY dress as their true identity.
Transvestites are men who dress like women. They may or may not be gay they specifically just like wearing women's clothes. 1/4
Then there are pedophiles who take advantage of the fact transgender and Transvestites exist, so they can dress like women, and sneak into bathrooms and do this shit. It IS unfortunately IMPOSSIBLE for most women to tell just by looking who is who.
If transgender people could 2/4
Of course it's not. With some radical transactivists, if you are not 200% behind all of their viewpoints, you instantly become a fascist murderer that should be killed on the spot. This even include other transactivists, thus the creation of words like "truscum".
In the end everybody ends up into fragmented navel-gazing micro-communities that hate each others and are unable to fight against the conservatives.
I guess trotskists have contaminated every fight, from environmentalism to antiracism and from feminism to gender theories with their sectarianism.
In the end, whoever you are will be nazi-ed if you do and nazi-ed if you don't. Meanwhile, the real nazis are laughing out loud, except when they look at their tesla's stocks.
The trouble is that as a feminist I want to advocate for everyone including the trans community but it is so hard to watch female athletes get beaten by trans athletes. Even a trans friend said it is unfair especially as women have only been allowed to compete since Title IX. What’s the answer?
The answer is to post the truth, not transphobia masquerading as concern.
Name me five trans Olympic medalists.
Name me five trans athletes that hold a world record.
You could start by actually learning something about the reality of the situation. Trans women athletes are incredibly rare because hrt destroys athletic performance in as little as four months and baseline pre-hrt trans women are comparable in athletic performance to cis women of similar size.
* Transgender women athletes demonstrated lower performance than cisgender women in [an aerobic capacity measure], jump height [a power measure] and relative V̇O2max [another aerobic measure].
* Transgender women athletes demonstrated higher absolute handgrip strength than cisgender women [snip]
Some sports are segregated by sex for equality & fairness. A male's body is changed by puberty in different wats to a females. If hormone t'ment has an adverse effect on trans athletes abilities create another catagory.
One of the interesting points my trans friend said to me was that men do not have the hips that women have so automatically in some sports there is going to be a difference in movement. I just don’t think there is an easy answer but I do believe that all voices should be heard.
So, ban them from sports. Because that's what you're asking for. There aren't enough trans athletes in the country to make a worthwhile league in any sport so creating a separate category is just a coward's ban.
study goes on to call for sport-specific study. If people were genuinely worried, they'd be wanting to pursue science, not bigotry. the q of why certain sports are a binary is fundamentally flawed b/c it essentially argues that b/c we only historically acknowledged a binary, that's therefore correct
And after hrt all those changes are hinderances. Trying to move a larger frame with less muscle mass and reduced hematocrit for most people is an insurmountable handicap, which is why less than 1% of trans women are athletes compared to ~14-17% of cis women.
That doesn't answer my Q - why do some sports have different categories for males & females? It merely explains why male athletes who take hrt may not be as good at some sports as male athletes who don't.
Because men's feelings get hurt when they lose to women. And I never mentioned cis men so why you felt the need to include them I don't know. My point was trans women aren't as good at sports as cis women. Thus why exactly zero have ever come close to winning any noteworthy competition.
Well for one thing this post is about human rights to exist not sports. And for another, trans people are not super soldiers in sports. They perform pretty much at the same level as other people in their skill and weight class. Not to mention, cis people get beat by cis people in sports all the time
Posting bullshit like this makes your stupid maga hat obvious.
Please show us where all of these trans athletes are and when they won.
You hate cultists are so fucking pathetic.
I had done so on accident and then it became on purpose around 2016 when she pissed off Native Americans and I decided she pissed off one too many groups and would only get worse as the press declared her “not racist”
“Dumberdore is gay” did not pass my sniff test. And that was when she became suspicious to me. But im an atheist and Bisexual and all too familiar with erasure as a concept. And something about not actually being gay in the books (I only personally read the first two) just felt cheap…
What a shame that she's soiled herself so badly. Before she became famous she sat in cheap diners and made soup with hot water and ketchup packets. She should know better. Now she backs up the people who'd throw her out of the diner.
I’m angry that my daughter got heavily into the Potterverse before she showed her bigotry to the world. I’ve explained it to her, but she’s too young to fully understand it. At least the books don’t reflect her bigotry.
I think with anything, it’s important to talk to your kids. She’s more or less over Potter now and on to other things. I try and read a lot of it to see what’s going on. She was talking about a character in Wicked being “color blind,” and I had to explain that he meant “not racist” but he was racist
I’m aware, but things like the goblins resemblance to how Jews were depicted by Nazis are meaningless to a small child. Dumbledore does actually realize his sexuality in the prequels. Slavery of the elves is portrayed as being bad and Harry fights against it. There are bigots on both sides.
He frees Dobby, obviously acknowledging that the slavery is bad. Hermonie is bashed for helping the elves, but by Ron, not Harry, if memory serves. Just having Hermonie fighting for their elves and other people disregarding her is a portrayal of how things often are. Not pro slavery.
He frees Dobby. And then it's later established that Winky, when freed, becomes a directionless alcoholic. Dobby is later described by Hagrid as weird for being happy with freedom and asking for wages. Most elves will never go along with it.
Harry is thoroughly indifferent. He barely has an opinion
Hi friend, here to let you know the XX and XY binary we were taught in grade school is wildly oversimplified and outdated and there is lots of modern genetic research to catch up on. It's actually a fun and fascinating topic!
I accept this completely. The bigots should not be allowed to rule on this, but how do you classify athletes like Castor Semenya, bless her, or those transgender boxers? In the latter case, it feels wrong that folk who seek to change post puberty can compete on the same terms - men transitioning
I don't currently have the energy to teach but I suggest you also look into the effects of HRT and how much of what we attribute to M and F are tied almost exclusively to hormones. The permanent features provided by a testosterone puberty are genital growth, thickened vocal chords, & body hair
It's really, truly not chromosomal. It's a hormone flood that determines your genital production in the womb. It's a hormone flood that triggers secondary sex characteristics. Again, you need to start with chromosome research to learn that you might not even have the configuration you think you do.
First off: They can't tell. They used to think vikings were all men until they started finding evidence that women went on raiding voyages all the time too.
Second: Who gives a damn what people say about my bones when I'm dead? I'm dead. It definitively becomes no longer my problem.
Third: Forensic anthropology puts people in the context of what's known about their cultures. It turns out a lot of cultures had more than two genders (some had a LOT more).
Fourth: Who's digging up random bodies to be like "YUP PROLLY A DUDE IN THIS HERE GRAVE"? How much free time do you think anthropologists have to do shoveling random cemeteries in Illinois?
She is really awful. I'm disturbed that she has so much influence over children. Now she uses her wealth to work against vulnerable people who are struggling in their lives. Comfortable rich person who should use that wealth for love and kindness instead of hate.
Signs on doors don’t prevent the ill intentioned from entering those spaces. People who identify as women aren’t after women; it’s still the men that you need to worry about and they will come into your dressing room or bathroom no matter what it says on the door.

Rowling doesn't really matter. The points she makes would be just as valid if they were made by the Queen of England or by a hobo on the street. She just happens to be the prominent voice.
I’m not gay or trans so I can’t share any such experiences but I have too many to share. No ass kicking but bullied. All after high school. Psychological warfare. But I can sympathize being born in a body that’s not really yours.
I try pretty much every free game Sony throws at me with PS+. But when they offered me Harry Potter, I didn't touch it, and told my roommates that game is banned from my console and they will be forbidden to continue using it if they download that game.
The first few books, but especially the first one, were *heavily* edited because the publishing company was trying very hard to score a movie deal. As they became popular, she wrestled back more authorial control over the writing.
You can tell, because that's when the overall writing quality drops.
Do you have a source for this? It feels odd that the publisher was trying to get a movie deal out of the first book when she, and the fanbase, wasn't even established at that point
No, it was just a way of saying that someone who attacked trans people didn't fit with someone who wrote these books with great sensitivity. I'm convinced she wrote these books.
Direct source? No. But it's pretty widely discussed, based on past interviews, that early books had far more editorial control (e.g. they said they were "too long for kids"), and it's consistently stated that GoF, which coincides with the movies actually coming out, was when she was given free rein.
Interesting observation, I observed after reading all of the first one and parts of the sequels that Rowling's plot and characters and even settings are no more than "take offs" on Ursula LeGuin's Wizard of Earthsea. This is true even to the scar Ged (Harry) receives from the Dark Shadow(Voldemort).
Originally, she published the RG series intending to avoid the connotations of, well, being herself. But no one knew the author and the writing itself sure as hell didn't hold up, so the books were dead in the water until it was *somehow* "accidentally" leaked that RG was JKR; then they took off.
DEI sucks!

She was an example of someone doing well through their own talent, and efforts, and some good luck; she could have used her wealth to be a force for good. Instead... she became what everyone can see, now. What a waste of effort, money, and her former reputation.
There's a lot that suggests she has always thought of herself as better than other people, especially the poor. And she's adjusted her myths about when she was on assistance (but able to live with family to start & write at her BIL's cafe), etc, to make herself seem more self-made and virtuous.
Ah! I didn't know there were such details about her biography... I'll admit to not paying that much attention, especially since she turned out to be happy to help sell a very dark narrative about trans people.
She actually does use her wealth for good. She gives a lot of money to charities including charities for MS. She pays every penny of tax, not looking for tax loopholes, regularly dropping from being a billionaire as she pays her fair share which is more than can be said for most.
Glad to hear of some redeeming features, and that's true-- some in her position do all they can to hoard their wealth. Doesn't negate her horrific attacks on other vulnerable people, tho..

Annihilation?
I think you are the hater here.
She thinks a man can never be a woman. She doesn’t want men (people with penises and testicles) in women’s bathrooms and other protected spaces.
She’s an old school feminist.
I may not agree with everything she says, but you are not trustworthy.
as a cisgender woman, i have never felt that my femininity or rights have been threatened by others who simply want the same freedoms and liberties. furthermore, id feel much safer in the presence of a transgender woman than someone who possesses so much ignorance and hatred.
Let’s look at reality: college swimmers, females, find themselves in the changing room with a large male, who exposes his penis etc, they were NOT informed at all.
Sexual assault is real and girls and women are traumatized by it. I protect my sex. Let penises be were penises belong: in men‘s rooms!
Are you confusing a man with a trans woman? And why, in these dumb locker room scenarios, is it always a large man waving his dick around? Tell me you don’t know a trans woman without telling me you don’t know a trans woman. Tho, if you did, she wouldn’t tell you. You are not a safe person
what’s crazy is nancy mace and boebert sexually harassing a cisgender woman in a bathroom because they assumed she was trans. “we can always tell.” seems that projection is a little bit of a telling sign and their confidence is a bit far fetched.
Do you understand reality? Trans women do not go around whipping their penis out for all to see. You're mistaking them for cis men. Trans women have body dysmorohia. A condition you clearly know nothing about. They do not like or want to have a penis in the first place. Get an education or stfu.
I’m sure there are plenty of trans women who don’t expose themselves to unwitting women in changing rooms. But there are guys taking advantage of the laws allowing them to do so. And that’s documented. As a woman I want to defend the females with vaginas against the intruders with penises.
No. I always write my personal opinion. The transgender stuff is fascinating cause the WEF boasted about the number of young people being LGBTQ, (23%) at the time. Why? Population reduction. How? Chemical castration first, then physical. Influencers on social media probably paid by WEF.
so sex doesn’t equate to gender, trans people also experience assault at quite high levels, i’ve never seen a case where people haven’t been informed or given other area options, not to mention there are what? maybe 20 trans college athletes in the whole country? that’s your issue?
Well, 2 keep it simple, that is the dumbest, least educated thing I have heard. Do you understand that English? You are beyond educating.
Jump in a 6' hole and pull the dirt in behind you? At least that way, your mother doesn't have to regret not having that abortion continually.
🤣😂🤣 still stunted! Name-calling? Stating someone is stupid, ignorant, or an asshole in general is often an obvious fact made clear by the stupid, ignorant asshole that spoke up to provide the evidence. Thank you for your input
Adding asshole to the list of insults just proves my point.
Why should girls and women lose a safe space to a man (=person with penis and testicles) just cause he ‘identifies?’
Once he grows breasts and is castrated, we can talk. 1 in 4 women is victim of sexual assault. But that doesn’t concern you
Who said their space was not safe? J.K.? She is equally ignorant and hypocritical. You talk about dick and balls and use ignorant talking points that don't matter and further prove that your comprehension is elementary. If it were as basic as you imagine, there'd be no discussion. Ignorant stands!
For the life of me I don't understand how someone could hate a whole group of people who have no effect on their life.
"Shitty human" is actually a pretty generous characterization.
I haven't been able to read Harry Potter since she came out as a trans* hater. I feel like throwing the books away or burning them at midnight while muttering incantations.
I read them all long ago. Thankfully, I never contributed monetarily. Either borrowed from a friend or the library. I’m sick and tired of this obsession with other people’s bodies the right wing has.
This really makes me feel sick because her Harry Potter books were so beloved.
Now I understand they had an anti LGBTQ2 undertone. I never read them but A LOT of kids did. What must they think now? Especially because she’s rich and doesn’t care what those kids (now adults) think about her. 🤯🤯🤯
What are you cunts talking about? There's only two sexes and they're not interchangeable, so you don't get to pick which one you want to be on any given day. Wear a dress and put your lippy on if you want, but don't expect the right to use the ladies toilets. Fooking idiots....
I honestly couldn't give a rat's arse about her books, but considering the number of LGTB people that adore her and anything to do with her, she really knows how to nuke her fanbase.
I frankly think she's a disgusting person and I'm glad I've never cared about her work.
Seriously. She's got a writing career that authors dream of having. She encouraged so many American kids to read and keep reading just when our national literacy rates started to nosedive ... and this is what she's done with all of her wealth and influence.
People that destroy their own reputation like this remind me of the lyrics from Sloan song Everything You've Done Wrong:
In your life, you get so high
There's nowhere left to go but down
When it's posted without contacts many people like who is in the comments think this is the real deal. Spreading disinformation is unhelpful to the cause and can get people killed.
Actually she has already gotten death threats because of her saying she doesn't think that trans men should be in the woman's bathroom and vice versa or whatever the statement was. I did post a BBC article on that somewhere here. No we are not friends I don't know her.
yk it's funny; her whole argument is "keep men out of women's spaces" and yet there was a whole ass scene where Harry Potter goes into the second-floor girl's room in The Chamber of Secrets
J.K. Rowling says her former husband emotionally and physically abused her in the early 1990s, using their daughter and her Harry Potter manuscript to coerce her not to leave their marriage.Feb 23, 2023
This is absolutely silly. The Republican party has made an issue out of nothing because they’re fucking ignorant. With ignorance and arrogance it always is a losing combo just like ugly face Donald Trump a loser. He is a demented individual. He is a demented individual like he says.
The Republican party is an American political party. Most people are not American. Things that happen in the rest of the world aren’t always caused by Americans.
Yes.
Wealth only enabled it.
Gave it permission.
Gave it visibility.
Paved an avenue for faux victim hood.
An opportunity to manipulate and divide the deplorables in society.
It's always going to boil down to "I felt uncomfortable around them for reasons I can't rationalize in any meaningful way" then somehow make it an attack on themselves.
I suspect this is a fake or distorted post. JKR may be old school in her thinking about genders, and that's okay -- we live in a diverse world -- but she's too mature and developed in her personality to make a statement like that. That quote is too juvenile.
... developing more safe spaces and opportunities for our trans sisters and brothers instead of trying to get biological women to accept trans women as biological women, which even they would admit they are not.
@gsrenfrey.com Thank you for saying this. As a progressive, I've found the vilification of JK Rowling odd. It's clear she's proud to be a woman, and she has every right to be... just like our trans sisters and brothers have every right to be proud to be trans. Perhaps the focus should be on...
“People who menstruate.' I'm sure there used to be a word for those people," Rowling said in a tweet. "Someone help me out. Wumben? Wimpund? Woomud?"
Rowling also said that "if sex isn't real, the lived reality of women globally is erased."
LOL, she does have a way with words doesn't she. Frankly I don't see anything anti-trans in what she said. It sounds as though she simply supports a distinction between women as we traditionally define them (XX), and trans-females (XY). Biological sex does not always match gender.
I recall her saying things like "there are only two genders" but the quote I commented on does not sound like something she would say. It's just too juvenile.
How is this an issue to begin with?
What is wrong with people ?
Ok them/they might be to push the envelope a bit too far but c’mon don’t we have more urgent issues to deal with ?
Threat to democracy
Misogyny and femicides
You are confused about how it's an issue that one of the richest people on the planet is using her insane wealth and influence to bully trans people out of existence?
She made me so angry. Our best friend’s son, while very intelligent, had difficulties at school because he has high functioning autism. He’s an avid reader and Harry Potter books were his favorite. I think they helped him escape the discomfort of social situations. But he’s also gay. She ruined it.
actually was thinking about the friend with the son with learning disabilities .. if the books helped him .. why would they care ? do you think JKR's views pertain to him at all ? I would think unless he himself expresses distain at her views .. then maybe , but otherwise let him enjoy .
This! I find it so incongruent that she is anti trans yet she expressly (and rightfully) withheld her name using her initials so she wouldnt be rejected easily but being a female, then decided to use a male pseudonym for her new series. Its the cognitive dissonance for me.
Makes you wonder though why she chose to use a male name for her non Harry Potter series given her anti-trans sentiment. Like what is her reason for that? Not defending her in any way at all, to me she is an unforgivable transphobic bigot.
She’s made some comments to the effect of not minding assigned gender females who identify as male. She still insults them by calling them females, but she seems to feel that due due to the patriarchy? It’s a thing she can expect/overlook bc obvs it’s beneficial to be a man in society. 🥴🫣
She definitely has a warped mind. Trans people are still people and are the gender they identify as. Constantly misgendering people is seriously inhumane. And just plain nasty. she should get some therapy for all that bigotry of hers.
My point precicely. She choose JK bc she knew as Joanne she had a bigger chance to get her manuscript rejected. This has been studied, when authors have male names they have a higher chance to getting picked up & published.But then w the new series, she chose a male name. She was already established

goodnight love you! 💚✨💚
if unlike jkr you aren't a raging cunt who hates trans girls and cancer girls then you should support both in one fell swoop

To the walls!
Since cunt is a vagina, when used in a negative connotation, to me it's adding negativity to vaginas, like vaginas are a BAD thing or a negative thing.
I still use it a lot though because I like the look of shock on people's faces 😂🤷♀️
I LOVE framing it as reclaiming a slur! 💯❤️
In the meanwhile I'm holding a conversation with you in what is effectively my third language yet somehow I'm illiterate and
I remember a time when people thought aids sufferers shouldn’t be allowed around children.
“Fenrir Greyback grinned, showing pointed teeth. Blood trickled down his chin and he licked his lips slowly, obscenely.
‘But you know how much I like kids, Dumbledore.’
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince”
They are not welcome in this debate.
Which is one of the reasons why this is ignored by 80% of the western population and why, when they pay attention at all, they roll their eyes.
Rather like debating with the Marxists in the 70s. You can't win.

And Joanne has similarities with the homophobic queen Anita Bryant.
I’m almost 60, but a most have missed that.
I’m sorry your parents were such short minded f*ckers.
The Netherlands are more open for other preference. I always thought it was completely normal to be slightly different.
And I'm American.
She essentially wrote the fantasy sequel to Atlas Shrugged.
Not that she ever was poor or homeless. She was born into the middle class, and never experienced true hardship.
All you got is fake quotes because there are no real ones to prove your point.
Remember when women's rights in the States got threatened recently and she proceeded to not say a damn thing about it?
What do feminist do?
They fight for women’s rights.
Biological men competing in women’s sports is a violation of women’s rights.
Biological men/rapists in women’s prisons is a violation of women’s rights.
That’s why she cares.
As for rape, that threat is coming from inside the house from straight cis men.
So, there's no danger for women outside of their house? 🤦♀️
If your husband is abusive you can leave.
What can a women do who's in prison with a biological man?
Muscle mass is reduced by hormone therapy. Bone structure and the height of person are not. The size of a person is a clear advantage in competitions.
I hope this conversations will happen - without hate!
Because women have raped women in prison it's ok to put men there too?
I'm not afraid of trans women, but I'm afraid of convicted rapists who claim to be trans.
Live and let live.
If there's a common dominator in the countries R is abolishing is that they are against and won't accept them and their rights.

gender-affirming work herself.
Transgender can be a female or male that is in the wrong body and MAY dress as their true identity.
Transvestites are men who dress like women. They may or may not be gay they specifically just like wearing women's clothes. 1/4
If transgender people could 2/4
I guess trotskists have contaminated every fight, from environmentalism to antiracism and from feminism to gender theories with their sectarianism.
We’ve got to keep this endless division off @bsky.app.

Name me five trans Olympic medalists.
Name me five trans athletes that hold a world record.
Male puberty results in permanent biological changes.
* Transgender women athletes demonstrated higher absolute handgrip strength than cisgender women [snip]
Feminism is learning that now. The Trans-movement will also learn it.
Give it time.
Meanwhile, I support everyone's right to live their lives the way they please, and be treated as individuals, not "classes" of people.
Please show us where all of these trans athletes are and when they won.
You hate cultists are so fucking pathetic.
Let your daughter take what she needs from the story. Eventually, she'll understand.

And just because a child doesn't recognise propaganda doesn't mean they're not internalising it.
Harry is thoroughly indifferent. He barely has an opinion
I always wonder what a pathologist says about a cadaver of a person who has self defined as trans
No reason to treat anyone with anything other than dignity and respect, but chromosomes are chromosomes
Behaviours can be changed by hormones, but DNA can’t

Second: Who gives a damn what people say about my bones when I'm dead? I'm dead. It definitively becomes no longer my problem.
It's sad that people get enjoyment from trolling.
You can tell, because that's when the overall writing quality drops.

I think you are the hater here.
She thinks a man can never be a woman. She doesn’t want men (people with penises and testicles) in women’s bathrooms and other protected spaces.
She’s an old school feminist.
I may not agree with everything she says, but you are not trustworthy.
Get lost, wanker.
Sexual assault is real and girls and women are traumatized by it. I protect my sex. Let penises be were penises belong: in men‘s rooms!
Are you just trying to get likes/comments, or acting this ignorant with reality and your profile is actually an act? 🤔
The 'population reduction' is random propaganda and misinformation pushed on platforms.
Provide your sources for WEF. I'll gladly fact check it.
*Makes shit up*
Jump in a 6' hole and pull the dirt in behind you? At least that way, your mother doesn't have to regret not having that abortion continually.
Why should girls and women lose a safe space to a man (=person with penis and testicles) just cause he ‘identifies?’
Once he grows breasts and is castrated, we can talk. 1 in 4 women is victim of sexual assault. But that doesn’t concern you
I remember my husband and young son doing midnight book parties at Barnes&Noble for the release of a new book.
They were fun times back then.
Now, I wish we hadn’t added to her wealth.
"Shitty human" is actually a pretty generous characterization.
Now I understand they had an anti LGBTQ2 undertone. I never read them but A LOT of kids did. What must they think now? Especially because she’s rich and doesn’t care what those kids (now adults) think about her. 🤯🤯🤯
She said Dad, “This is truly what democracy should look like. We the people means EVERYONE!”

I frankly think she's a disgusting person and I'm glad I've never cared about her work.

Why, is she your friend?
J.K. Rowling says her former husband emotionally and physically abused her in the early 1990s, using their daughter and her Harry Potter manuscript to coerce her not to leave their marriage.Feb 23, 2023
Wealth only enabled it.
Gave it permission.
Gave it visibility.
Paved an avenue for faux victim hood.
An opportunity to manipulate and divide the deplorables in society.
Rowling also said that "if sex isn't real, the lived reality of women globally is erased."
