£1 million prize offered for anyone who can provide a clear example of a transphobic J.K. Rowling quote

So which race does she believe commits nearly all sexual crime? She must believe that for her analogy to work.

The amount of people that come out with this racist bull is astonishing.

I always remember that bit with irritation. Hermione can go into the boys dorm room but the boys can't go into the girls. I love JK but I think the girls should not have been able to get into the boys dorm either.

Ron complains about this in the books and Hermione explains it's because of very old fashioned beliefs that girls were trustworthy and boys weren't.

It reminds me of downton abbey - the door separating the mens and womens corridor (where servants slept) was locked with the key on the women's side.

Tbf to JKR and whoever made downton - women/girls are far more at risk from men/boys going uninvited to their bedrooms compared to the reverse.

But we're told, constantly, that there is no conflict between trans rights and women's rights. Is...is...are you suggesting...that there is?

Is there prove money if I argue the case she's sexist?

An theyve managed to make sure that none of the TRAs would be able to claim it even if they find some thing allegedly 'transphobic'. to flip it in a way that i hope nobody agrees with, can you find an example of Tommy robinson being racist or islamaphobic? That is, the cited statement must materially detract from the human rights of ‘black people or muslims’ without simultaneously arguing for the rights of another group, such as women, children, or the white race."

That was a dreadful read. Some untruths - testosterone tests in sport meaning some black 'cis' women are excluded. That's never happened, but have resulted in identifying a number of participants and intersex with male gametes that have historically participated in female sport.

The suggestion that preferring vagina is transphobic and described as a 'genital preference', rather than a sexuality.

The suggestion that concerns about children and pushback against childhood gender transition is a suggestion that trans people have a sexual interest in children. Rather than proven health concerns relating to transition before adulthood.

I wish that organisations would take some feedback around the word cis and how it is often used as a slur and therefore felt as a slur. I won't use it and am offended if it is used about me against my wishes.

I don't misgender and use preferred pronouns in general (won't call rapists she, that is offensive) so expect the same respect

I was told by a young woman a couple of days ago that segregating by biological sex (as in single sex toilets, changing rooms, refuges etc for biological women) is the same as racism in the 50s in USA.
I offered her a copy of Irreversible Damage, after talking about puberty blockers and surgery. She didn't want to read anything written by a transphobe.
Absolutely brainwashed.
This is a a young woman educated to degree level.

And detransition rates are "incredibly low" but there are "plenty of them". 🤔

How is acknowledging biological sex as the underpinning of womanhood potentially racist? 😵‍💫

Conversion Therapy: the process of using intrusive (physically and/or mentally) procedures to 'convert' someone from being LGB to Straight, or in making someone trans into cis.

If you have a gay woman who converts to being a straight transman does that class as conversion therapy?

'Lived experience'

Tw don't have any lived experience of being a woman.

Cis: the opposite of trans; to identify with the gender you were assigned as.
If this is true then calling someone Cis is most of the time misgendering them since the vast majority of people do not have a Gender Identity.

You'll be met with a "polite correction"

How to disarm: If a genuine mistake, correct them politely and explain what cis means and how it isn’t a slur. If deliberate, ask why they think that and if they could explain how sex works then, considering how it isn’t a clear binary, as well as noting that reducing womanhood to biology is in the face of lived experience and is potentially racist and ableist.

Wow Green Party of England and Wales. Just Wow.

I've marked their homework. My comments in italics

1: Definitions

Transgender/Trans: To align/identifies with a gender (or non) that you were not assigned to at birth. This applies to non-binary people.
(Gender is not assigned at birth, Sex is observed at or before birth)

Cis: the opposite of trans; to identify with the gender you were assigned as.
If this is true then calling someone Cis is most of the time misgendering them since the vast majority of people do not have a Gender Identity.

Trans woman: someone assigned male at birth who identifies as a woman.
Nobody is assigned male at birth. They are observed to be Male at or before birth.

Trans man: someone assigned female at birth who identifies as a man.
Nobody is assigned female at birth. They are observed to be Female at or before birth.

Non-Binary/Enby: someone who's gender does not align with the binary conception of gender as 'man and woman'.
Man and Woman are not genders.

Transphobia: the hatred, irrational fear, aversion or dislike of, or discrimination of a transgender or non-binary person on account of their gender, of trans and non-binary people. Transphobia is both systemic and non-systemic, as are many other bigotries.
Fair comment in my opinion

Gender Critical: someone who believes that sex is the only factor to consider regarding if someone is a man or woman, not gender. (fair) Many Gender Critical people do not believe enbies are actually enby. (also fair) The term Gender Critical is often used by transphobes to disguise their bigotry as merely ‘sex essentialism’, not unlike those who use the term ‘Race Realist’ to disguise their racism.
Citation needed. Provisionally categorised as abject bullshit pending citation.

Conversion Therapy: the process of using intrusive (physically and/or mentally) procedures to 'convert' someone from being LGB to Straight, or in making someone trans into cis.
Fair

Detransition: when someone who was trans, for whatever reason(s) decides to stop their transition.
Fair

AGAB: Assigned Gender at Birth. This can be male (AMAB) or female (AFAB).
Too much bullshit in one sentence. See me after class.

@BezMills the Green Party have produced a handy guide for you.

lgbtiqa.greenparty.org.uk/2023/06/15/dogwhistle-guidance/

I'm not saying she does a lot of dog whistlin, but everytime she tweets, her area of Edinburgh is filled with 1000s of stray dogs from every part of the Lothians region. Some reportedly from as far away as Hawick and Glenrothes.

Yes. She dog whistlin.

So…. has anyone claimed the prize yet?
Or, maybe, she didn’t say anything transphobic.

That sophistry doesn't even reach 6th form.

Expecto Joannum!

@Britinme that's JKR doing you a solid. She is a witch.

Now what's really weird is that the email notification took me to a different thread, but when I posted the above comment it posted on the correct thread (this one) even though I wasn't on that page at the time. Spooky!

In one of the Potter books, as the kids are growing up, the boys are (magically) no longer able to access the girls' rooms in Hogwarts. As we all know, single sex protection is transphobic as fuck.

I'm going to spend my million on buying racehorses and giving them comedy names.

This is weird - I get an email notification about the £1m prize offered for a transphobic comment by JKR thread, and it brings me here!

But if you read that bit NotBadConsidering has posted you can CLEARLY see that JKR has spelled out I hate trans folk by carefully hiding the letters in other words and not putting the k (or more accurately x) to make it seem more palatable. It’s all there you just have to look. and bullshit a bit.

I like wearing boxers rather than knickers - though can't do that when I have my period because of the need for a sanitary towel. Does that make me gender fluid?

I wear my OH's jumpers in preference to mine cos they're massive. I don't wear make up and sometimes don't style my hair.

IW would not think I was an actual woman I guess even if he was envious of the actual female body functions.

In science lessons originally you had the chromosome xx, xy
How has the current trans situation changed that ?
Is it now yes i was born xx but I now identity as xy as an example ?
