Accusing women of being men

I don't think she deserves criticism for being an older woman. She does deserve criticism for apparently starting a relationship with a teenager while she was in her late 30s. Ghastly woman. But a woman not a man.

People spread stories about women being men/trans because they want to imply they are ugly. Even very enthusiastic female supporters of TWAW are not normally happy to be mistaken for TW.

Was president Mitterrand who said she had the Eye of Caligula and the lips of Marilyn Monroe?

You really need psychiatric help. An absolutely revolting thing to say about another woman.

I was surprised, I must say.

I thought funding a female centered rape centre, Biera’s Place and airlifting over a hundred female lawyers and their families who were facing being murdered in Afghanistan was pretty fucking amazing, on top of the female centred Lumos and £15 Million to fund MS research especially for female people and a slew of other projects.

But obviously, Simon doesn’t think this is enough. Maybe Simon thinks Joanne Rowling is just mean to some special people. And maybe also has missed that the male people that JK Rowling has referred to as ‘men’ have been male people who have histories of abusing her over social media.

Maybe Simon believe that she has been mean to her abusers and should use her abuse’s preferred language and be kind to her abusers?

But yeah. She does fuck all for female people, obviously.

Maaate, I thought you were usually quite sensible, and informed. But that's just embarrassing.

Yes I agree @TempestTost

I think it's a kind of social contagion.

Some nitwit thought up a theory, and it got some attention on the internet, so now people are making up some similar theories about other people.

It's same way people copy other stupid shit.

I don't think there's actually much more to this particular phenomena, it will likely fade soon.

Are you absolutely sure of that.
😉😁😁.

There's no such thing as a "cis woman". Women are female. Male trans people that some people call "transwomen" are male.

"Suspecting anyone who doesn't look conventionally feminine of being trans is just an excuse to point fingers at women who don't "perform" gender correctly - butch women, tall women, women who prefer "masculine" clothes - whether they're trans or not."

Err... no.

A male who declares they are a woman is nothing like a 'butch woman', a 'tall woman', or 'women who prefer masculine clothes'.

A male who declares that they are a woman, is a male who is either using their own set of stereotypes to reject that they are male or to wedge themselves into being a 'female'. But they are are still just a male person. And they are never a female person like 'butch woman', a 'tall woman', or 'women who prefer masculine clothes'.

And cis is a meaningless word. It usage means that female people no longer have a descriptor (because even 'female' has been acquired by some male people) to describe themselves as uniquely different from male people.

See below. 'cis' includes male people who have medical conditions where they were incorrectly registered as being female.

So, both 'cis' and 'trans women as terms include male people. Female has also been used by male people to describe themselves. There is no unique descriptor of female people that relates to their needs and their sexed bodies.

Was just about to mention her age too, @Theeyeballsinthesky as something which might have inspired trolling.

I notice the ZOMG you’re all terrible transphobes and JKR is an awful person cos reasons have decided to comment on this thread and not on any of the threads about a man who prioritised himself above rape victims has finally been given the boot. How very odd….

anyway back to OP. I do think with Madame macron there is a whole load of stuff bound up with the age gap between them and her being his teacher. It just seems to make people take leave of their senses. I also assume that frankly the perpetrators of this lunacy are not the sharpest knives in the box

Ah yes, JKR who pretends to promote womens rights, yet reliably stays quiet when women are attacked, raped or murdered, very quiet on abortion and the reduction of women rights in the ME too

That comment shows just how much you know about what she does. Did you get that from the Independent? Pink News? Or just some idiot mouthing off on Twitter?

Hmm, 70 million people agree with you eh?

Oh no, they must definitely agree with you that the word woman means any man who says he is one, of course.

That was Exhibit A of how transphobia naturally extended to hounding women who weren't even trans.

It wasn't a) transphobia or b) hounding a woman. I can tell you have no idea what you're talking about.

No one has said there will never be female people who will make mistakes about the correct sex of a person. The point is that they are much more likely to be accurate in real life and with interaction.

For instance, it is often the voice that will help a person decide whether the person is female or male. It is made harder when there is a sub culture of female people who micro dose on testosterone to get a better ‘butch’ look. We have been told about this from one who does this on threads before.

Those who are claiming how horrific it is that women are being asked if they are in the correct toilets, isn’t it even more horrific that female people who need single sex spaces feel so unsafe in those spaces that they have to ask to ascertain whether someone is female ?

I think those expressing how horrific it is that female people are being asked are missing the significance of why female people are being asked.

Also, we have testimony of some of those female people being asked who value the women who are asking. They actually thank those women. Because those women asking are trying to make sure female single sex spaces are maintained as single sex.

I grew up being asked if I was in the right sex toilet. Sure, it was embarassing as a child, but I now look back and realise that there was no ill intention. Women were merely making sure the toilets were single sex.

No one should be abused. But politely asking is not abuse.

And again, if Michelle Obama or Venus William or any of the female people mentioned on this thread were asked, what do you (generally) think they would do? Probably say ‘I am female, thank you.’ And leave it at that.

So the fact that she’s a woman isn’t dispelled the minute she opens her mouth? And she still faces abuse by all these women in changing rooms? Is she a regular patron? That’s unfortunate.

It’s a simple question, are all these butch women being shouted at (according to you) for being men, or for being butch, as you said above?

Nope the person is correct

Well done, you’ve made the most ridiculous comment on this thread, and that’s saying something.

Not enough eye roll space for this. Nah, she just funds a rape crisis centre off her own coin. She founded the Lumos Foundation.
She donated loads to get women lawyers
out of Afghanistan when the Taliban
rode back in. What a bitch. What do you do?

What she’s done for women and girls and their right to ensure single sex spaces remains just that is immense. JKR doesn’t have to comment on every single instance of VAWG. She’d be here all day. She doesn’t owe anyone anything. What she puts, or doesn’t put, on Twatter or whatever it’s called now is her business.

Jesus wept stay out of this conversation obviously to much for u christ almighty

Sorry, women are shouted at for being butch? Being butch or being a man, or are they both the same things to you?
