Some of the people who are threatening sexual violence towards JK Rowling are the people who want to access female spaces.
I really tried to be kind and support trans women. I know it’s not the general tone on here.
I was absolutely not willing to do it at the expense of women’s safety and dignity but felt there was a middle ground and the argument was too polarised.
I suggested my problems with self ID were the chances of predatory males using it to get in to female spaces. The twitter responses to JKR have demonstrated that some trans women will threaten another woman with sexual violence if they disagree with her views on womanhood.
Can these violent, hate-filled people not see what they are doing to there cause?
I apologise to all the decent trans people out there but some of the aggression has left me fearful that the loudest voices in the community are advocating sexual violence.
(Apologies for the repetition of violent / violence but ... )
