J K Rowling accused of being transphobic again *Title edited by MNHQ at OP's request*

Yes, I'm honestly never, ever surprised to be disappointed by men sticking up for women. Every single one of them has buckled under pressure - Martina and JKR have read up, stuck to their liberal principles and faced the firestorm of opprobrium, and successful men have repeatedly bottled it.

But you know what - none of this would have traction if it weren't for the PopFems like Jameela Jamil etc. so eagerly rounding on and tearing apart the disobedient women.

I expect nothing but inevitable disappointment from male allies. I expect more from other women than sexist abuse for talking about sex based oppression. That's why I don't use LibFem anymore, I say PopFems. Pissing on your actual sisters in the pursuit of the popular approval of men, and calling that 'feminism'.

Ah well - I guess, we remember the Jonathan Sachs affair. Not a person who makes good choices.

Weasel or fool?

Ooh. I'm blocked by "Wossy". I wonder what I did to deserve that?

I must say, I find it amusing to think of these blue ticks with 5m followers, and following over 9k which means their twitter feed must be pretty busy, going getting the PA to go to the trouble of seeking out anyone who posts something disobliging and blocking them. Or do they all use terfblocker?

What thin skins they must have.

Unlike JKR who surely knew the pile on she would attract and is calmly rising above it.

There's definitely a generational divide around gender ideology.

The young ones will never want to admit their whole belief system is a lie.
More parents and adults need to speak up.

JKR an 'audacious bitch' with more talent in one finger nail than the eloquent Ms Ross or any of the those that condemn JK will ever have. I do often wonder if part of this is jealously - a very successful woman who got where she is through talent not selling her soul on social media.

I’ve just read that Johnathan Ross’s daughter has posted in support of the TRAs calling JKR an Audacious Bitch apparently.
Nothing like calling a woman a bitch to cement your anti-bigotry credentials.
I am so, so tired of this.

What a pathetic person.

She speaks the truth.

The good dr was shitting himself on that tweet

I wonder why

If any of the TRA's needed their kids looking after in an emergency and had to chose the Dr or JKR, I bet they'd be choosing JKR.

It is awfully unfair to "out" someone who passes perfectly. Probably been using The Ladies for years and absolutely nobody noticed

Wow.

justanother :

What did Harrop say that he desperately tried to retract so quickly? I tried to follow some Twitter links yesterday but they just hung for ages.

This feels like an important moment to me, does it to anyone else? JK not backing down, and the TRAs doing what they do worst, to a much bigger audience

The accusation is such a joke. What, 80% of humans would rather have Rowling with their children, whose only crime is to believe in biological sex, than any number of these nutters in their community including AGPs and what other fetishes you may find (toddlergirl is one I came across yesterday, fucking creepy).

They’re accusing JK of being unsafe around children, while they spam her twitter responses to CHILDREN, with vicious comments and accusations, yet don’t see the irony.

Yep. Imagine being a Potter-obsessed kid and your idol addresses a tweet - via your parent's account because, amazingly, some people on Twitter understand that appropriate contact with minors isn't direct - to YOU. It wouldn't just make your day; it would make your month, your year. A thing you'd remember for always.

And these idiots think it's a great idea to intrude on a child's joy with adult politics, abuse and and hominems.

Authorities to adjudicate what is or isn't desirable behaviour around children, my fat terven arse.

Oooof.

There was a case a few years back now when a woman did confront one of these people in the ladies loo. This person was over 6 foot and thumped her. Why that didn’t start ringing bells back then I don’t know.

(Can you imagine confronting this person in the ladies'? Asking them to leave?)

SunsetBeetch: pooops!

Looks like somebody shit the bed

@LillianBland

They’re accusing JK of being unsafe around children, while they spam her twitter responses to CHILDREN, with vicious comments and accusations, yet don’t see the irony. Yup. We really don’t have to show that women’s rights are being trampled over by TRAs. They’re proving that for us. Talk about being thick enough to score a home goal.

I am enjoying the sunlight though.

(And accusations are usually admissions when it comes to TRAs.)

Just for background reading re Nicola Spurling of the BC Green Party (from 2017)

www.citynews1130.com/2017/04/18/green-party-candidate-outed-tv-news-broadcast/

From the article:

“Nicola Spurling isn’t pointing any fingers, preferring to call it an “unfortunate miscommunication” but says there are risks to outing any transgender person.

“Trans people face a lot of discrimination in the form of bullying, violence, being denied employment, being denied housing and being inappropriately questioned on a variety of issues surrounding the transition process,” she tells NEWS 1130. “And then there is just the general feeling of being unwelcome in society. A lot of people feel like you shouldn’t exist and that is something trans people have to deal with on a daily basis.”

Global News ran a story last night spotlighting four transgender women hoping to become MLAs, including Morgane Oger of the NDP, Stacey Piercey of the Liberals, and Veronica Greer and Nicola Spurling of the BC Green Party.”
