Best resources explaining JKRs position on trans identifying people?

Pointless trying to get another source to explain her position. It's clear from reading her letter and how she funds women's orgs that she is not transphobic. If the person you're trying to talk to doesn't understand that then a video won't help. It's such a poisoned topic these days. Maybe it's better to just state your own position.

Exactly this.

Ah, but if they read the essay they’d see that she didn’t write anything terrible, and that would spoil everything. What they do instead is watch endless instagram and TikTok reels about how she’s a terrible transphobe and has said offensive things, and agree with them, so that they can fit in with their peers who do the same.

If they said “hang on, she didn’t actually say anything bad at all” they’d be an outlier, and wouldn’t be part of the in crowd any more, which would be unbearable.

I'd refine that further and say that actual thinking scares many people. They seem to need to know what other people say about a topic or issue first before they feel confident to come out with an opinion themselves; and these 'opinions' are set in stone and immune to reasoned critique or argument....because that would involve them, once again, in the scary process of independent investigation, analysis and the development of logical consistency.

Why can't people just read the essay. Why do they require third party explanations and other people to 'interpret' for them?

Social media and podcasts have turned people stupid.

He did and now has YT 601,000 subscribers.

I mean, he will probably make in 1 year what it would take 10 as a teacher.

Again and again the people that get sacked for literally saying 'think for yourself' end up more well known and with higher incomes than their original jobs would ever give them.

Its pointless looking for a ''magic bullet'' that will help you win a debate, because only one side is using facts and evidence. The other side is using purity spirals and group think. That kind of thinking appeals to authoritarian types, and free thinkers scare them.

@BonfireLady I forgot about that video, didn’t the teacher get sacked after it?

I’d take everything Aida says with a pinch of salt, OP. He calls himself a lesbian, FFS.

Exactly. It was a tongue in cheek remark.

But even so, the sentiment behind is that she's glad that women's rights were upheld.

Posting an article that thinks that's awful, or transphobic is, yet again, foot shootingly counter-productive.

Yup. But they are determined to ignore that.

A phobia is an irrational fear.

Fearing men who say they are women who threaten you with 'fuck...with a splintery rolling pin' that is not irrational. It is totally rational.

It's just a quote from the A-Team, isn't it? With the big cigar? I'd put it on a par with "we'd have got away with it if it hadn't been for you meddling kids".

Oh no. EVERYTHING is transphobic -

And you've got quite the cheek, pal, opining on anything about JKR given your previous threats of sexual assault against her.

I'm surprised the Police haven't been chapping at your door to be honest.

Eg They think she shouldn't have said how much she loves it when a plan comes together over the upholding of the equality act.
Says everything you need to know.

She shouldn't agree with upholding the equality act because they are advocating for it to be unworkable.

Claiming the equality act is transphobic is not a good look. But more than that, they think it is.

Oh yeah, there are lies and misrepresentations. But even so, most people would read the article with a pinch of salt and still think I'm not sure what she's supposed to have done. Because she sounds rational and kind even while they're trying to misrepresent her.

The Glaad link is full of lies. But AidaP is happy to regurgitate those lies and somehow thinks that’s justification for threatening JKR with sexual assault.

What is even more brazen is that the majority of the sexual assault threats towards her are from unknowns on Twitter etc. But AidaP makes the threat proudly and openly under his own name, and keeps harassing her here as well. I wonder if it falls under the malicious communications law?

I don't think aida has actually read that link

“If sex isn’t real, there’s no same-sex attraction. If sex isn’t real, the lived reality of women globally is erased. … I know and love trans people, but erasing the concept of sex removes the ability of many to meaningfully discuss their lives. It isn’t hate to speak the truth.”

Rowling tweeted: “Dress however you please. Call yourself whatever you like. Sleep with any consenting adult who’ll have you. Live your best life in peace and security. But force women out of their jobs for stating that sex is real?

i'd heard about it, but was under the impression that she herself was offering the money. But it appears it's this mag.

There's also this, which is a shame

As mentioned at the beginning, Wardlaw was reacting to a piece by Hadley Freeman about an interview that she did not get to do. Sting, the musician, apparently wanted a different interviewer, since Freeman’s views are unacceptably TERFy.
