JK Rowling

[Velella]

JK Rowling is being called out on twitter by Owl for liking Janice Turner's fox-in-the-henhouse article.

Many of us have thought for a long while that JKR is on side. I wish she would come out publicly and fully support women.

Is it yet an actual, punishable, offence to refer to someone by the "wrong" pronoun yet?

I see women are still losing their jobs and getting crucified on social media by men for questioning these things.

Just wondering exactly how 1984 the world has become so far.

Go on JK Rowling, join us in the light!

CKoRn - no.

I checked the GRA quite carefully in the light of a discussion about this recently.

However, I have noticed (as a new form of throwing confusion on the subject and as a scare tactic) a number of trans-ideology-friendly posters asserting that it's already illegal. They are wrong, but hoping (I think) that if they repeat a lie often enough, people will start to believe it and become further censored in what they are prepared to say.

i'm sorry but i just googled fox and owl having only really heard about them here..... when people described them as an ordinary boring hetero couple looking to get in on the lgbt movement i still expected them to appear at least a tiny bit unconventional.

i have just spluttered some metaphorical coffee on my laptop i am laughing so hard. this HAS to be a wind up? or another plant by a right wing movement looking to destabilise gay rights?

i mean if i was L or B or T, I'd be pretty angry about these two taking a platform tbh

Stillathing - Fox is a natal woman; Owl is a natal man. They're like that couple that got married recently where the transwoman is in the army

I dream that she’s writing a brilliant book that will cleverly expose the trans agenda through metaphor.

“ Fox is a natal woman; Owl is a natal man. They're like that couple that got married recently where the transwoman is in the army”

That’s the thing, isn’t it? They’re actually not that unusual, interesting or newsworthy any more.

oh apologies and thanks orchid i take some of that rant back then!

and experience the freedom of a life in the radical feminist uplands."

This made me smile. I’m assuming it’s Shady Pines all way, where it’s always gin o’clock.

I noticed one reply on Twitter was stating that trans men should be in men's prisons, I wondered has this ever happened? I'm going to guess that no biological woman who has had no surgery will ever want to be placed in a mans prison.

"And it's so insidious"

It's frightening how insidious it is. The first time I ever heard 'woman with a penis' I was so startled I laughed; how ridiculous, nonsensical, who's going to buy this, etc. Now it sounds almost normal .

It began with 'born in the wrong body', which insidious little phrase wound its way into the collective consciousness until it sounded reasonable, and now is trotted out as if it's an actual medical diagnosis.

Waits for the Daily Mail Headline:

JKRowling attacked on twitter for not supporting Rapists Rights

I emailed TSS. They said 'it' is 'dehumanising' which I suppose would be fair enough WERE IT NOT A FUCKING OWL WE ARE TALKING ABOUT

Your DS2 sounds👍LangCleg.

Both my DSs despise the regressive left, so they are very open to GC opinions. They came to it through disliking the authoritarianism rather than the attitudes towards women - but it certainly made them more open to considering the attitudes towards women.

Looks like this fox is having a laugh. I don't know about the wrong side of history but it does feel like women are the wrong side of the joke.

Cute fox!

I now feel the need to point out that I never go into henhouses and I don't have relationships with owls NAFALT!

To go with the fox, here's the laughing owl. With a cheeky wink! What larks!

woman

That’s awesome.

Sometimes I wonder if TRAs are completely tone deaf or if they pick particularly awful cases to support and enforce dominance precisely because they're so awful. Maybe they see it as the most effective way to shift the Overton window.

I think partly, but it's also a Duping Delight power kick. The more outrageous thing they can achieve the better.

I love that cartoon, woman.

YANBU. There is no safe option to use in regards to someone who describes themselves as nonbinary. Which is likely to be part of their reason for doing so, imo - so much delicious power in making everyone walk on eggshells.

This exactly.
