I think if you find your viewpoint being championed by number 47, you should really check yourself.....

Serious questions need to be asked about how a movement that clearly wants the trans population to be eliminated has been portrayed by the UK media as ‘having concerns’.

valoisdubins.bsky.social•15 days ago

I think it has a lot to do with class and race. Trans people epitomise the scariest aspects of the Other. Transphobia spread easily among the UK journalist class.

Compare JKR’s photo with one from the UK’s anti-trans LGB Alliance conference.

How many non-white faces do you see in either?

Gah, she's the absolute worst.

I hate that woman with all my heart

She's not celebrating it; she is horrified by Trump. What she is doing is blaming trans activists for it happening. Her own bigotry makes her unable to see the obvious. Don't hold your breath waiting for her to realise her mistake.

danielsohege.bsky.social•15 days ago

She is celebrating. He is signing a document banning trans individuals from sport, something she has been very vocal about, along with the rest of her anti-trans rants. She has made it very clear she supports Trump on this.

Speaking personally, as someone with personal experience of abuse and gaslighting, what also gets me is the fairly apparent victim blaming in Rowling's post. "This is what you get for trying to exist". Never mind that he is removing women's rights as well.

Speaking of the other place, John Mann tweeted this today, ex MP & current member of House of Lords & he doesn't even seem to understand what asylum means. Obviously just because somewhere is safe for Royals or even ordinary tourists to visit, doesn't mean it's own citizens are safe from persecution

Husband of MP too .

This is what you get for indulging cluster B weirdos, AGPs, sexual deviants and far left political shit stirrers. Cry harder. And when you're done, and all those tears have dried, you can always cry some more!

danielsohege.bsky.social•15 days ago

For the sake of convenience and expediency, I do block bad faith arguments without responding, I definitely block people making excuses for bigotry, and, to be honest, I block quite quickly, and regularly, because no-one actually owes you their time in a debate when it is clear you won't listen.

melissajohns.bsky.social•6 days ago

Totally agree. Why waste your time or energy trying to have a rational conversation with a toxic individual. My mental health has improved since I started blocking unreasonable people.

aoxxi.bsky.social•6 days ago

Hi. I just wanted to say thank you for the other post. That i have misplaced. I just needed to express my joy at reading a human experience that allowed me to feel like being me is ok. I'm seeing more and more. It's beautiful!!!

Not listening to others is unfortunately a contagious disease. And difficult to vaccinate against...

She used to attack him for every single utterance his obscene mind used to tweet. It’s a true morality tale. Like him, she’s an atrocity.

Rowling is a seriously mentally ill woman. She is over-obsessed about this subject. There must be something in her background that she's not revealing.

susansmith65.bsky.social•15 days ago

She's been open about the abuse she suffered from a male and now seeks to protect other women. She's not celebrating Trump, she's pointing out that dismissing the real concerns of many women benefitted only the nutjob Right.

kd-smith.bsky.social•15 days ago

Police Scotland get 57K reports of DV from women pa, 2.5K of rape, all by cis men. There's been 1 case of attempted SA by a trans woman here in 20+ years.

Trans-hostile activists' fake "threat" from trans women doesn't protect, but distracts us from the real danger. It lets men abuse us blame-free.

kd-smith.bsky.social•15 days ago

And, those "real concerns of many women" about the "threat" from trans women that JKR claims has been dismissed, are just as real as Trump's concern that "DEI" unfairly discriminates against entitled white cishet Christian men. 🙄

execrable.bsky.social•15 days ago

You won't get an argument from me. I regard myself as being quite conservative with a small 'c' but the hounding of trans people, even by the current Health Secretary is beyond the pale. There is absolutely no justification for it.

execrable.bsky.social•15 days ago

I know, I agree. In pure statistical terms, the chances of a woman being assaulted by a transgender man are as close to zero as makes no difference. The whole argument around public facilities access is illogical and bizarre because, as you say most attacks are by CIS men & NOT in public facilities

execrable.bsky.social•15 days ago

but there is absolutely no logic or rationality to this, it's pure persecution and propaganda. And it's disturbing.

geebeethomson.bsky.social•15 days ago

But shouldn't The Right also take responsibility for it?

Trump still would have won even if the Democrats ran on a trans exclusion/elimation policy.

feduptoby.bsky.social•15 days ago

Rowling has said she would march with trans people if trans people were being discriminated against.

She stood by while the Republicans spread lies about trans people. Now she’s trolling while Republicans begin a program to erase them from public life.

Why are you okay with her dishonesty?

execrable.bsky.social•15 days ago

She amplified them. Simple as. Not alone but significantly influential. She joined a bandwagon, is still on it and shows no concern whatsoever about her contribution to the persecution of a minority group because of another minority within that group. It's ironic coming from a woman, but never mind.

I like it when professed christians act all christian.

sonaligwalani.bsky.social•15 days ago

I think becoming a billionaire gives you some sort of disease that takes away your humanity and leaves a seething toxic acidic festering pus-filled sac where your heart ought to be. I think this is an actual biological thing. If somehow they were shot in the heart, instead of blood there'd be pus.

obezyanka.bsky.social•15 days ago

She keeps showing us her hateful side, those who defend her are finding it harder and harder.

magpiestu.bsky.social•15 days ago

I don’t. She just doesn’t share your belief.
