JKR being uncharacteristically quiet

[Jdugsgsgwyd]

Anyone else noticed since the news that JKR is being sued by Imane Khelif she's been very quiet, unless I'm mistaken she's hasn't tweeted at all in about a week.

and hasn't responded at all to the legal action being taken against her. This is very unlike her, I'm thinking she's been advised by her lawyers to keep quiet. Anyone else think she might have put her foot in it this time?

The problem is that bunch of gender critical people have made transphobia their whole personality.

With all the problems women face they have glommed onto a single issue. Entire groups such as FPW and LGB Alliance exist solely to address the “trans problem.” Women in sports face so many issues, and it’s this one which GC people obsess over.

I just understand basic biology. Men can’t become women and women can’t become men. Anyone can believe anything they want, they don’t get to compel others (me) into believing that pseudo reality.

Why aren't we talking about the transphobic rhetoric directly from the Algerian boxer? Oh right we know why.

Why aren't we talking about how the IOC made it possible for any male, not just one with a DSD to compete at Olympic Women's Boxing despite all the safety concerns and fairness issues well documented and supported by the Court of Arbitration for Sport? Oh right we know why.

At this point the word "transphobic" has ceased to have any meaning because even basic biology is transphobic

No. not hating on trans people and people with DSDs is very much compatible with an understanding of biology. Also biology is not “basic” but complicated.

This old chestnut.
Go ahead and provide one quote of transphobia from JKR. You'll be able to quote something from Twitter surely.

The irony.

As far as I’m aware the last medical test the person did indicated they were male so I’m not sure what JKR has said that wrong. I think it was the test done by a boxing federation that resulted in the person being banned from fighting.

There’s nothing “ basic” about human biology. Start with that premise and then educate yourself

You start by actually explaining how men can suddenly have vaginas when it's convenient to your argument?

Because responding with an eyeroll only tells me you don't really have a response.

Hatred of women shown in technicolor here….

Oh Tandora. Sigh.

'Transphobia is part of their personality'

You mean they are female and understand that males are not female and they want to maintain the existing rights of females in law?

Right ok, gotcha. Everything is transphobic if it's about being actually female and supporting the rights of females.

I think there's a fair amount of 'hating all women being part of the personality of trans people and their allies'. This is better understood as misogyny and the accusation about women is basically DARVO but thank you for your contribution to this thread to demonstrate sexism.

The way that works is that we show you something transphobic, and you say it’s not transphobic, so, no.

People redefine their bigotry because they don’t like to think of themselves as bigots.

If I said that we can’t trust women nurses because of Lucy Letby, would you consider that misogynistic?

The fact that you only hear about JKR when your echo chamber gets up in arms with her for continuing to differentiate between the reality for people born female and the fantasy of men who believe their mind make them women only betrays your own lack of knowledge.

If you really want to be inforned aboit JKR's life work perhaps you should clear your cookies and Google the charities and causes she has supported. Pretty sure she wrote a few books too.

Nope, they just don’t want men in spaces they have no right to be in, in their sports and spaces.

You hate women, as regularly evidenced on these boards. Have a day off.

And again.

Yawn fest woman hater.

This. And ultimately individuals with DSDs prove that, and honestly I suspect strongly that is the reason behind JKR and other gender critical voices, supposedly feminist, being so keen to attack an elite sportswoman - because gender critical ideology hinges on the belief sex is simple and binary but then pesky reality comes along and proves that it isn't, and it undermines their whole worldview. And then suddenly men can have vaginas after all.

Exactly

Incidentally @AccidentallyWesAnderson - I am fairly well educated in the subject, and I agree with you 🤷🏼‍♀️ imagine that!

The amount of people I've had tell me to educate myself when they are less qualified is baffling. Ah for the confidence of a mediocre man 😇

People have to stop using the word 'bullying' when what they mean is that a person has expressed an opinion, or stated a fact, that they don't like!
It negates how serious actual bullying really is. IMO the true victims of bullying are the women who get death a rape threats!

when they are less qualified

😂😂😂

You're so right, women should be focusing instead on the difficult lives of middle-aged autogynephiles and men whose sole claim to being women is painting their nails and growing their hair. I've seen the light.

You dont think women are entitled to their beliefs, sports, dignity and safety?
Sounds like hate to me.
Your basically saying you dont think they are equal to men.
I pity you more than anything else, but also pity the women who have to live in the same world as people like you
