J.K.Rowling *might* be a Terf...

And I am delighted!

Okay, there is a tiny bit of evidence that JK may be gender critical. She 'liked' a gender critical post on Twitter, and the TRAs are going mental over it. JK hasn't responded yet (and I doubt she will)

In other news, Jenna Jameson (famous porn star) has also 'come out' as gender critical!

Is the tide turning? If we get JK on our side, then yes!

How the hell is Snape trans?

Is it the dress/gown?

VivaLeBeaver · 25/10/2017 18:13

Is it anime porn? I googled but darent click on the links!

What on earth are hentai bookmarks?

PricklyBall · 25/10/2017 18:11

I just had to look up hentai in the Urban dictionary. It starts "Hentai is animated pornography showcasing women who have better bodies than any real women (yet have weird hairstyles and hair-colours) and men with enormous penises" and goes downhill from there. (Yes, there is a downhill from there - reaches for brain bleach).

But it's not a sexual fetish, oh no, course not, autogynophilia is totally made up...

Actually, for anyone who would like to see how TERF is employed

Terf is a such a useful new synonym for "fucking bitch woman" or "witch" or "cunt".

Anyone remotely gender critical is likely to be called a terf on social media, eventually.

It's like a (very depressing) badge of honour for gender critical femininsts to be called such. I suspect like prickly, I don't know of anyone who would use it as an accurate way to describe their own views.

Hentai bookmarks, eh?

As ever, a complete lack of self-awareness on the TRA side.

PricklyBall · 25/10/2017 17:58

Sigh. Can we cut the disingenuous crap, please? A term of abuse directed towards a specific group can be used ironically by members of that group of themselves - it doesn't make it okay for other people to use it. And you know that perfectly well.

Example - I can say of myself "Yeah, of course I'm a deep-fried mars-bar munching jock" (perhaps in the context of a conversation where someone was holding forth at length about how all Scots ate a really crap diet all the time). If an English person were to say the same thing about me, on the other hand, they would be making an offensive remark about my nationality.

And a fully paid up SJW like yourself, MotherPeresa, knows this damn fine.

(Changer, TERF is a term of abuse which its users claim stands for "trans exclusionary radical feminist", but which is almost exclusively found online coupled with phrases like "should suck my lady dick", "die in a fire", etc, to mention just a couple of the less offensive uses. It is applied willy-nilly to any woman who thinks there are circumstances where biology matters.)

Ugh there seems to be a trend to coopt Snape as trans. Presumably because men never have long hair. Ridiculoud!

JK Rowling's charity Lumos, exists to end the institutionalisation of children.

You can't be the founder of such a charity and not understand the problems that women (and their children) face are because of sex based oppression. Of course she is.

What is a terf?

MotherPeresA · 25/10/2017 17:40

Hang on, didn't someone get all censorious and offended by the use of the word TERF recently?

Anlaf · 25/10/2017 17:35

Losing their shit they are though:

Here's a young un explaining why Rowling is a TERF:

What's JK Rowling reading these days, you might ask.
(Sorry, had to cover up all my hentai bookmarks)

Hentai bookmarks, eh?

DamnDeDoubtanceIsSpartacus · 25/10/2017 17:26

Which post did she like?

misscockerspaniel · 25/10/2017 17:26

Emma Thompson describes herself as a radical feminist. It would be great if she came out as gender critical.
