Rainbow Laces activist says JK Rowling is a cunt

I’m sure JK cried all the way to the bank

Sadly, Rainbows = misogyny to me these days, I avoid them like the plague.

J K Rowling follows Fionne Orlander (transwoman), Magdalen Berns (now passed away) - feminist who helped set up a women's feminist group in Scotland and Julie Bindel.

But she also follows/ed Lyra McKee (the lesbian who was shot in Ireland but who was a trans ally) so I do not think J K is transphobic.

JK Rowling has also included trans, gender fluid and 'trans-abled' characters in 3 out ot 4 of her Cormoran Strike series of detective novels.

I'm surprised sammy didn't want JK milkshaked too

Although, thankfully, that twatish behaviour seems to have subsided

And what did JK do dear readers?

JK liked a tweet. That was all that was needed for the woke mob to descend. I'm thinking the tweet was about the struggle women had to get sexism out of labour and the need for women's sex based short lists. Something deeply deeply awful.

Pure evil eh?

After subsequent bombardment of hate JK started to follow some gc accounts. She may not agree with them, she might be doing it purely for interest.

Each day she added more.

How the mob howled.

As for "acceptance" Sammy, a beautiful example of a woke hypocrite. I wouldn't encourage anyone to go up to anyone in a pub and verbally assault them. But Sammy here is clearly a thug.

(S)he's really rather dim, young Walker, no? (Wants to transition implies still male so parentheses are really the kindest whilst remaining accurate.)

"The first time I realised transgender was 'a thing' was when I was about 15. A friend came out as trans and it was a bit of a light bulb moment for me. Suddenly I was aware that this was probably my issue too.

No social contagion here at all.

At least Sammy is now playing in an LGBT team which looks like most of the players are bio men and not taking a place in a woman's team.

The rainbow laces thing has been ruined. At one point I’d have been proud to wear them, now I’d be worried that people would think I believe that men can be women.

Didn’t know that about Rowling.

However, if I have to be called a part of my anatomy, can I pick ‘ear’? I know everyone has one, so I can be well inclusive.

I complained to the SNP about Mhairi Black’s rant, never heard a word back.

To coin a MN phrase, "I'd call you a cunt [back] but you lack the warmth and depth."

Yaaasssssss 🤣

"WTF is a "trans footballer"? Someone who's adamant they are playing soccer, but in reality, they are playing rugby?"

When JK Rowling first published Harry Potter she wasn’t allowed to use her real name (Joanne) as the publishers didn’t want the world to know that she was female.

That may have taught JK a thing or two about misogyny.

You'd need a bloody big 4k telly to see who was or wasn't wearing the laces. Not aware that anyone has opted out, like one Serb and one Irish player have done with the poppy.

WTF is a "trans footballer"? Someone who's adamant they are playing soccer, but in reality, they are playing rugby?

I wish the BBC would stop mangling the English language.

The sad thing is taken overall rainbow laces is a damn good idea. There is a huge, ongoing problem with homophobia in team sports, especially men's team sports, which desperately needs addressing. (But as usual, the T part of the alphabet spaghetti seems to be welding a disproportionatesmount of influence).

Hmmm Rainbow Laces, isn’t that the campaign Aviva are supporting? Maybe someone on Twitter could send them the lovely tweet from the delightful Samantha.

Mhairi Black managed to call women 'Jeremy Hunts'. Shockingly poor behaviour for an elected MP, whatever the subject.

Yeah I never hear a woman call another woman that.

Never mind, I'm sure JK will take a whole half second to snort and move on with her life.

@smileordie

Yeah the BBC article was weird.

Plot:
male-bodied youth grows up in homophobic, football lad environment. Youth doesn’t fit in and wonders if they are gay. Teenage confusion leading to depression and anxiety:however, due to talent receives top notch football training. Quits football and years later comes out as trans. everything sunny until person joins a women’s only football club. Doesn’t fit in. Complains people feel Intimidated by them and are asked to skill down. Plays now in mixed-gender lbgtq+ Inclusive team.

Conclusion based on plot: lbgtq+ person feels more comfortable socialising with other lbgtq+ people

implied conclusion If article: women’s only team is mean to outsiders and exclusive

In addition to JKR being a woman and therefore fair game for abuse, I think with some people there's a weird thing going on with them feeling that Harry Potter belongs to them personally and so the creator cannot have the wrong views.

If JKR is a cunt for understanding the biological reality of 'woman', well so am I.

An actual cunt, not a self-id based neo cunt.....

So because JKR agrees with a very fact based biological definition of 'woman', instead of one purely based on feelz, Sammy thinks it's appropriate to try and insult her using a word for one of the main things that shows JKR is a woman in the first place. Do people like this not have irony where they come from?

Mhairi Black would approve of their word choice I’m sure.

So why, given that great opportunities like that exist, do so many male athletes insist that only women's sports will do, otherwise its 'exclusion'?

Same as with women's {insert any service/space here}.

Because it's about power and control.
