Haha. Remember that online reading group I posted about upthread? Well, I reported it to admin for deletion, but in the meantime had a really jolly time arguing basic points with several members. Even the OP, I believe, was not really woke but simply following the normal US "be kind and inclusive to everyone" line. Eventually the thread WAS deleted, as it should be as it contravened the book club rules against political posts, but it was good to "come out" in a protected area! I think it is mostly US members there, so that was very refreshing. Sunlight!
In other news, some of my very woke American FB friends are finally commenting. It's amazing how they have all ignored the many rays of sunlight penetrating the TRA universe of late. But my very wokest friend -- a person whom I always respected, who is very clever, an atheist, very vocally anti-Trump etc etc, said this, among other things, about JK:
I think in this case, it's just basic ignorance. She does not understand either biology or gender.
And I am not defending her. Given that this is not the first time she's been called out, and especially given her resources as to time, money and access, there is no excuse for her to remain this ignorant.
Oh, the condescension!
Verdict: JK is not a nice person any more. Boohoo., and I will always stand by my trans friends.
