I ❤️ J K Rowling Spreading across USA

Well he's posted saying he's not being a feminist ally, he's "doing his own thing". If that's the case why not come up with his own campaign rather than hijacking the Standing For Women one.

He blocked me when I called him out on that.

Yippee Thank you for your comments re Bipolar there are many lifelong MH issues that have links to suicide and suicide attempts which i would say needs compassion, understanding and support.

Yet too many who throw unreliable suicide stats around in defence of the removal of women’s current rights treat MH issues as a stigma, use MH slurs and are quite happy to see MH issues as something shameful.

Funny how “be kind” stops applying there, isn’t it?

It’s disgusting.

Oh, that should be interesting! It seems that he really is one to watch.

I think being dad to two girls could motivate a man enough to get active and, well, do something.

Particularly in Canada. His other bugbear appears to be the SOGI (Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity) curriculum in Canada, which I understand makes some of the things we've from outfits like No Outsiders seen look quite tame, and is being very centrally pushed.

For his next campaign, he's threatening to post some of its contents up on billboards....

If I'm recalling correctly from an interview (that I can't find) the personal background is that he's a friend of Amy Hamm - he was particularly radicalised by her run-in with Yaniv (when he accused her of voyeurism or something in a courtroom toilet).

There’s something bothering me too but I can’t put my finger on it. Who is this guy? The first I heard of him was when the billboard was put up in Vancouver and now he is all over this. Something’s not quite right.

His Twitter profile says:
Father of two girls and I (Redheart) JK Rowling for standing up for their rights.

I think being dad to two girls could motivate a man enough to get active and, well, do something.

Is it just me, or does all this dramatic threatening to kill themselves basically amount to little more than emotional blackmail?
In no other area of society do we alter behaviour or laws to placate a group threatening self harm. To claim that they must override women’s rights and have free access to all our single sex spaces, “otherwise it will be our fault they kill themselves” doesn’t deserve a moment of anyone’s serious consideration.
If they are genuinely mentally ill enough to be suicidal they need psychiatric help.
And yet they repeatedly insist that theirs is not a psychiatric condition. Trying to have it both ways, and abandoning logic and reason in the process, no?

I have Bipolar and BPD. The Trans suicide rates thing gives the fucking rage if I’m honest.

I have a something like 80% likelihood of killing myself with my combination of MH diagnoses. I’ve tried several times. I’m thankfully well right now, but does this mean that when I’m not I should be pandered to? Can I get everyone else to agree that yes, my reality is the real reality?

Why is Trans the magic word for this? It’s nonsense. This is not how we deal with people at risk of SH and suicide.

He says that "all the transphobia nonsense (In the USA) and the TERF wars "just comes from a relative handful of confused teenagers and young woke ‘adults’ sitting in their basements, firing off nasty tweets while playing Fortnite."

I think he's correct that they are a significant proportion of the anime avatar crew on Twitter.

Are the American I❤️JKROWLING posters faring better than they do here?

I came across this rather interesting update from @christophelston

I suspect though that there's more to it than that. To me, it sounds as if the US is completely captured. That everyone just goes along the mantra.

👍

Yeah datun. Women asserting their boundaries cause men to be suicial

And yeah ereskh some of the shite that men trot out might make women feel suiciadal

But hey we are just women

Don't people realise that claiming women's boundaries are responsible for suicidal thoughts in men, makes the men look absolutely unhinged.

Not exactly an advert for inclusion, is it?

Quite. Really not sure why people think this is some sort of slam dunk argument. Unless they really have no regard for women at all. What if our boundaries and feelings being so comprehensively trampled on makes some women depressed and suicidal? Who has even asked that question?

I’ve provided peer-reviews articles, you’ve provided an essay and an article from a website that is anti-trans (fairplayforwomen.com). My stats were at least from scientific journals

It would be good for you to engage with other people's arguments rather than dismissing the evidence they present out of hand as "anti trans", especially as it seems many of the people here are more informed than you about a number of relevant things.

Signs of an abuser tbh, weaponizing suicide in such a way. I had an ex who did this, and I stayed with him for years more than I should as I believed that if I left I would 'cause' his death. Of course, it would never have been me, had he chosen to do it. Blaming feminists for the (possible) suicides of transpeople is therefor fucking gross to me tbh. But oddly common..which always interests me. Do as we say or you are literally causing deaths, give up your rights or you are basically a murderer

Yes, completely agree. It's oddly common, because they are using it as a gotcha argument to shut down dissent. It is not acceptable to blame others, particularly those speaking up for themselves, for the poor mental health of people.

From what I understand, talking about suicide is more helpful than not: http://suicideprevention.nv.gov/Youth/Mythss^^/^

That's not what our UK media guidelines are from the Samaritans. Causation should never be attributed to one factor, especially when dealing with young people. Are you aware of the phenomenon of suicide contagion?
