Yes. I have a 1 reply Twitter rule. Any TRA replies to me gets one back then nothing. This often leaves them thinking they've 'won' but I don't care.
I don't engage in spats. I don't swear.

Works ok for me.

@MargaritaPie

"penised individual"?
We don't make the rules.

If the penised individual doesn't identify as a man, we're not allowed to call them a man.

And apparently it's respectful to define such people (who don't identify as their sex) by their genitals, so 🤷 What's good for the goose...

"Well we’re not allowed to say ‘man’ when they identify as a woman, are we"

Is it really too much for JK Rowling and others to use the term transwomen? Even if she has differing views, just out of respect and to be polite?

Aww won't someone think of the poor rapists feelings? No. Sorry.

We're talking about MEN raping WOMEN. Crystal clear.

She does use that term. And she has pointed out that she has trans friends. But in this tweet she is referring to rapists. Are you wanting her to respect rapists and be polite to them?!

Even if they only started identifying as trans during the trial in which they were being accused as rape? Or while at prison?

On the one hand it’s ‘no true trans woman would commit xyz crime’, on the other hand it’s ‘you must call anyone who identifies as a woman a woman’. JKR went for the option that didn’t violate either of these completely contradictory rules.

@lucascriesalot oh I do try. I work in a role which makes being GC tricky but I have pushed that and I am full of admiration for JKR. She's bloody marvellous.

Theeyeballsinthesky · 12/12/2021 19:37

Because it would obviously perpetuate the utter nonsense margarita 🙄

“The trans woman who raped you is a woman”

no, the person who rapes someone with a penis is a man not a woman

There’s nothing polite about being raped and then having to address your rapist as a female in court, or for the statistics on rape to now include females, even though by virtue of the legal definition of rape, only males can carry out this crime. Why do you think rapists deserve any respect, off anyone, ever? You’ve really got a twisted sense of right and wrong haven’t you. The ONLY person deserving of ANY respect is the person who’s been raped - be it a female or a male. Rapists deserve one thing only: to be sent to a male prison for a very very very long time.

She is talking about men who use their penis to assault others.

Is it really too much for these males to stop raping women?

Why the actual fuck do you think she would 'respect' these people?

Thefartingsofaofdenmarkstreet · 12/12/2021 19:39

Also, how come rapists deserve the respect to be called 'transwomen' rather than 'penised individuals' but women are so undeserving of respect that they are to be referred to as 'bodies with vaginas'?

This is it exactly.
GingerAndTheBiscuits · 12/12/2021 19:43

Perfectly okay with JKR not being polite about rapists.

Thefartingsofaofdenmarkstreet · 12/12/2021 19:44

Sorry, I just cannot believe that someone has come onto this thread with 'won't somebody think of the rapists'.

It really is such disgusting misogyny.

“Penises individual” - offensive

“Pregnant people”, “people with cervixes” and “uterus havers” - inclusive

Got it 👍🏼

Well, she's really not messing about now is she.

No, its a weird line to take
Linguini · 12/12/2021 19:57

So.... Women are "people who menstruate", "people with a cervix", "bodies with vaginas", "pregnant people", "birthing people", so as to be inclusive to trans people right?
We've lost the word for ourselves because the trans lobby demanded it.

As soon as the shoe is on the other foot and transwomen rapists are called "penised people" this is disrespectful.
Rapists...........
Disrespectful..........

I'm still spinning out to be honest. Not in the good way.

RufustheFloralmissingreindeer · 12/12/2021 19:58
