Here is another:

"JK Rowling has not only been silent for a week, but she has also deleted her Tweets, looks like she is scared of Imane Khelif taking her to court She could just apologise, Imane Khelif already said she would accept an apology "I'm sorry you are a woman" Not so difficult is it?"

There's a very early episode of the X-Files that's worth watching through a modern lens, Season 1, Episode 14, "Gender Bender"

It's about a member of an Amish community who is able to change sex at will, an idea that in 1994 was so absurd that Mulder and Scully were called in.

Maybe.

God forbid anybody should go on holiday in August and not spend it on Twitter.

These people will swear blind that she's an obsessive then the moment she logs off for five minutes they're into her Twitter metadata. They are complete lunatics.

I like to imagine JK is too busy learning French via Dualingo to tweet - so that in the unlikely event she is incarcerated in France she will be able to talk to fellow female inmates about trans prison policy and come out ready to relay their words to the whole world.

An engineer friend of mine sent me this recently. He said it perfectly represented how he felt at work with the more...appearance based disciplines. I think it's relevant here.

Hold the press! Pink News seems to have it right for once! Well, Moley mocked it up in preparation as Cohen and Co seem a bit busy with reputational reparations at the moment.

Perhaps zero identifies as 27. Who are we to contradict it?

This. if you fall for that fucking nonsense then nothing else is off limits. I have been. let's say, surprised by just how many total nutters this Neo religion has revealed.

It still gives me a happy glow when I remember India Willoughby gloating in the run up to the introduction of the Scottish Hate Crime laws and J K Rowling subsequently unleashing that most glorious thread on April 1. In fact I might just go off and read it again.

Exactly, Ereshkigalangcleg, it's something I find very hard to deal with too - in fact if it wasn't for FWR I'd have been in a bad place mentally/psychologically.

No exaggeration, I'm a very rational personal and when I realised that there were people out there saying obvious nonsense AND having a social movement based around it AND getting to change the law, medicine, education, language etc on the basis of their nonsense, it really 'destabilised' me, to borrow your word. And I'm not easily destabilised.

Finding this site was reassuring - the whole world hasn't embraced the delusional nonsense.

It bothers me even further that 'progressives' will do it while patting themselves on the back for "believing in science" and being part of the "reality-based community."

You’re not wrong. After all, these people believe humans can change sex!

I find that "I don't care if it can be easily factchecked, I can make my lie be believed" attitude destabilising and scary.

Millions have viewed it though. There's a very small minority who 'Like' this nonsense.

Sorry meant to quote you @annejumps

They know people won't check, they just want to go viral.

This too.

Didn't we also get told over the past 24 hours that MN was not a site to expect evidence to be given and castigated for expecting a logically sound and supported argument to be posted? Because, it was not an academic site after all....

Meaning, anything can be said and those posters saying that thing should never be challenged.

Let’s face it, anyone who thinks humans can change sex is disconnected from reality.

Totally. Desperate for mummy's attention.

Personally, I don't think she's even the slightest bit concerned. And not because she thinks it won't fly.

She wants the sunlight.

And if she has to take it to the wire, and beyond, I believe she'll do it.

she's not messing about here.

It's also because we live in a post-factual world where providing chapter and verse from a verifiable source that something is inaccurate means absolutely nothing to people like TRAs, who have their own truth, their own reality, and clearly feel no need for it to coincide with the kind of reality that's based on easily checkable facts.
That's beyond unavoidable stupidity.

Let me be the first to wish them luck with that.

It would be interesting to know how successful he is with his no attempts at hiding what he wants videos.

They know people won't check, they just want to go viral.
I just saw both of those Tweets mentioned on Reddit

I imagine they're trying to goad her.
