On one side, you have that reasoned speech. On the other you have frothing loons saying they'll turn down medical care if they don't get validated by the opposite sex and demanding to wfh if they're not allowed in the ladies' loos.

I can't imagine which side is mad.

Nah, there's certainly something to be said for hanging around & enjoying the karma of evil billionaires losing their minds in real time & that latest god complex fest from JKR being a perfect example. 😆

No, he didn’t say he had “biological female secondary sex traits” which he doesn’t have anyway, he has moobs. He said biological sex was, I quote, “a nebulous dog whistle”. Because he’s unhinged.

As in possessing biological female secondary sex traits?

It's not just JKR losing her mind.

True.

From the side that supports Dr God Complex Upton who deemed himself biologically female because he isn't a robot.

Get it right at least, it is not beating a dead horse it is flogging a dead horse.

'Just not getting it' seems to be a pattern - not getting the 1984 'elementary arithmetic' thing is like CoolforKats embarrassingly not getting that if somebody says 'if you're saying X=Y, then I'm a monkey's uncle', they are not claiming to actually be, or even equating themsleves to, a monkey's uncle.
Or Winston Churchill, in this case.

'Shall I compare thee to a summer's day..'
nah, don't bother Will, they just won't get it and they'll think you're saying they are a summer's day. Literally.🙄

She invokes 1984 to suggest that disagreement over the meaning of woman is equivalent to denying elementary arithmetic.

Christ, you'd think it doesn't take a genius to understand that this Orwell quote was never about "elementary arithmetic".

Very much enjoyed seeing on Bluesky, Ian Dunce has re-posted his TRA mucker Dorian Lynskey effectively saying Rowling is re-cycling "7 years of pseudo philosophical justifications for bigotry", and that "she doesn't have an original thought in her head".
