@moose62

I don't get the men have periods every day bit....if they did they sure as hell wouldn't want to be women. I guess biology is now fake news. I'm so sick of it all, well done JK at least someone with a voice can cut through the bullshit!
Apart from anything else, if you’re bleeding from your vagina every day that’s not a period, it’s potentially a serious gynaecological problem...

The more she says, the more reasonable her position is demonstrated to be.
This whole argument about ovaries displays the absolute nonsense of how one group of people are trying to subvert and reuse language to try and shape a different reality.

God I hate the pretzel logic portrayed by the tweet Piers answered. The same as "I am a woman and this is my dick so it's a woman's dick".

Pier Morgan. Whoa! Succinct...
And I already love Ricky G so much it impossible to love him more.

My favourite reply to that tweet: trans women are men.

nauticant · 04/07/2020 22:20

It's about two things:
What do the Proles think? Not the zealots on twitter.
When will the Establishment acknowledge that what the Proles think is valid and should be listened to?

“The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated Communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction (i.e. the reality of experience) and the distinction between true and false (i.e. the standards of thought) no longer exist."

Hannah Arendt, The Origins of Totalitarianism (1951)

Stella Starsky @stellastarsky
If you haven’t already, it’s definitely time to read Hannah Arendt “The Origins of Totalitarianism”. Stat.

J. K. Rowling @jk_rowling
Did we talk about this or is this another bizarre coincidence? Because I literally just finished reading it!

Stella Starsky @stellastarsky
You mentioned it last week and I had just finished re reading it. So yes, in that way...absolutely a coincidence 🙏🏻

THIS MAKES MY HEART SING

There are some females (look genuine) on twitter who still seem to think she isn't being kind. She's responding to an unpleasant tweet someone sent her ffs! I do despair. They are drawn so far into this they have lost any sense of what is right. She has every right to respond. It shines a light.

They ooze up through the sewers under cover of darkness.

Whatsnewpussyhat · 04/07/2020 20:25

Doesn't seem to be any "suck my dick" or "die terf" relies to JK today.
Is it bad that I find that odd or do they only come out after dark.

Thisismytimetoshine · 04/07/2020 20:09

Ah, good man, Piers!

JKRisagryff · 04/07/2020 19:59

Helmetbymidnight · 04/07/2020 18:27

that poor guy, i dunno, i find it heart-breaking- the emotional pressure theyre putting on him. hes american, right?
theyve got it so bad there.

JKRisagryff · 04/07/2020 18:23

Brilliant Emerson, so proud of him too, and Ricky Gervais Gin

People are slowly coming out of the woodwork, it was obvious what he was talking about on his live a few weeks ago but good to see he’s feeling brave enough to like stuff, by this time next week he’s going to be tweeting all kinds of TERFery Grin

GoddessArtemis · 04/07/2020 17:58

What I don't understand is , if transwomen are women surely they would have ovaries ? 🤔
I think I need WineGinCakeBear

@Oxyiz

On another note, I just ventured onto cracked.com for the first time in years after following a link. Out of curiosity, I searched for JK Rowling, found the inevitable transphobia article, and was enormously relieved to see that the commenters were having none of it.
I haven’t read Cracked in years because they ran an article with a trans widow where the husband was a total wanker but the tone was all “she has to be what she has to be” and I thought, yeah, I see your take on this. Man dumps kids on woman and runs off for a more sparkly life and she’s having to chose her words carefully as he’s the one who needs support. Sure thing, brah.
Deliriumoftheendless · 04/07/2020 17:39

That’s the point, Dances.

Dances · 04/07/2020 17:28

It will soon be transphobic to talk about menstruation and it will be back to it being taboo.
