JKR & Britain’s “institutional transphobia”

Has anyone read Time magazine’s interview with Monroe Bergdorf? The writer (a “drag performer, screenwriter and author”) makes so many sweeping and untrue statements in just the one para that I am a bit 😲😲😲... among them that Britain is “institutionally transphobic” and the plot of JKR’s new novel “propogates dangerous mistruths about transgender people”...

If anything, Britain’s institutions are wholly lost in trans-admiration, while JKR’s book just doesn’t!

MB is a drag performer? Since when?

Saturday Night Live slandering JKR last night - implying she is anti Semitic as well as transphobic (although, funnily enough, they don't say what she said that is apparently hate against trans people). Not surprised, they are the wokest of woke on this programme. Not going to link to it, but it's on Youtube under "Weekend Update: Pete Davidson on J.K. Rowling’s Transphobic Comments - SNL" if you are interested.

I really wish she would sue these people for defamation.

Hope she threatens to sue unless they print a full page apology.

I'm going to try to express this carefully, but I think that when your entire identity depends on creating and maintaining a visual deception, it's not surprising that you seek to bend the truth to fit your narrative in other ways too.

How do they get away with writing such rubbish

Times has wandered far from the path of good journalism.

Never got past the front page.

Lie and liars

I assume Bergdorf has never heard of libel but surely Time magazine has.

They lie every time they open their mouths. Not in the least surprised.
