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?

You are disgusting.

is that proven?

I did watch a couple of the matches but I really don't know enough about boxing to know whether someone is a good boxer or just has a physical advantage. I did notice that the commentary on both Lin and Khelif matches seemed to be all about their reach.
Do the ITA test before or after a bout?

What is disgusting is bullying a woman because of how they look and a potential difference in sex development. Which is what JKR has been up to. Hence the law suit.

I think IK deserves another gold medal for turning off the hose of transphobia for a few days.

On one hand you state "she's female" and on the other you acknowledge there's a lot of speculation going on. We don't know that Khelif is female as, I'm prepared to bet, that no one on this thread has seen IKs medical records.

Being "raised female" is irrelevant to their eligibility to compete. They could have been incorrectly sexed at birth. That would be a distressing situation but still wouldn't make them eligible to compete if they have XY chromosomes.

Quote one thing JKR has said or done that is transphobic.
Be specific.

Khelif's appeal against the IBA was withdrawn when his own team did tests and found his karyotype and testosterone level were "anomalous" - aka male.

At least argue that you agree with "biologically male women" in female sport. Because to keep at the reds under the bed argument when HIS OWN MEDICAL TEAM have confirmed what the IBA hinted at, is ridiculous.

You should enter that competition Tandora with evidence that she’s a big transphobe. You’ve yet to evidence it here mind but you should give it a bash.

We don't know for a fact that Khelif has external female genitals. There is a DSD in males which means they are born with a 'micro-penis' which can lead to it being mistaken for a clitoris, or if it is recognised to be a penis, medics and family might decide that being raised as a female would be better for such an individual.
I believe it is extremely unlikely that such individuals will have ovaries or a uterus even if they have what might appear to be female external genitalia.

ahahahahaha, dream on love.
Truth is a defense in liable.

In women's sports, having a male skeleton androgenised at puberty is a significant differentiator. It gives male participants a far greater advantage over female than, for example, Michael Phelp's physiology gives him over other men.

I think Phelp's advantage is something like < 1%, while a male punch is >150% more powerful than a female's. A <1% advantage can be outcompeted by somone with better skills, a >150% advantage is a whole other level.

Not at all. What a strange response...

Just meant that, from what I've read/seen/heard, people form their opinions on JK Rowling based on how they feel about what she's said not on whether what she's said is factually incorrect.

So all I'm saying is that any examples of her being a 'pain in the neck' and an 'arrogant bully' should be based on facts not feelings.

Being "raised female" is irrelevant to their eligibility to compete

it’s not though. Which is part of why she was eligible to compete in olympics.

Lolllllllll. Her twitter feed is more than ample evidence of that.

Which didn’t happen.

Yay! One medal for hitting women, another for shutting them up! Very Feminism! Such Progressive! Wow!

His own coach has now said that a hospital in Paris said Khelif has chromosomal abnormalities and high testosterone.

What other DSD could it possibly be apart from 5 ARD?

No, it's very simple: the boxer was not born with female genitalia and he appears to have male genitalia now. He can be seen fishing down his boxing shorts to adjust his tackle in a couple of videos. Previous DNA tests have shown he has XY chromosomes (male) and he's refused to have another test to decide the issue. You can go on denying science as much as you like, but anyone can see he's male.

Stating facts isn’t transphobia. Go on, enter.

This would be an interesting court case, don’t you think?
It’ll depend on how they define ‘man’
If it’s anything other than XY chromosomes then I will know the world has gone mad.
But we all know that the question ‘what is a man’ or ‘what is a woman’ is one that some people just can’t seem to answer these days

I kind of hope he does sue her and that it gets to court, and of course hoping that he gets absolutely nowhere with it

Hence the law suit.

There is no law suit.

Start reading her Twitter feed from about five years ago. If you can’t see anything transphobic, at all you are part of the problem.

It never ceases to amaze me, and I really mean amaze as in deeply shock and disturb, just how fucking ignorant people are.

There is a genuine offer of £1 Million for anyone who can provide evidence of JKRs “transphobia”.

If there is anything transphobic by JKR, then why has no one has been able to claim the money? It is still available - go for it!
