JKR has no fucks left to give. Although she would express it much better

[bellinisurge]

I love "I don't give a fuck" version of JK Rowling. She's on Twitter just now (ish) obviously praising Allison Bailey and generally supporting Lesbian Visibility Week for actual lesbians.

She's such a tonic

OK, I'll bite.

"Just one woman in eighty natal-women is a transwoman."
Where are you getting this figure from, @Ides ?

UK population as at 2020 was 67.2 million (ONS), approximately half female, if there were 80 females for every transwoman, you're estimating there are approximately 420,000 transwomen in the UK? Source please.

I'll bite too.

One woman in 80 natal women is a transwoman, according to Ides. @Ides do you know what 'natal' means? Relating to birth. Natal women are born female. Transwomen are born male.

Did you mean there's one tw for every 80 women?

Nah. Not that either.

Oh @Ides

what are you on?

They won't be back, another TRA leaving with their tale between their legs.

They were probably expecting us all to be weak, timid women more used to talking about knitiing patterns. 😒

Is this a dick plop?

Meanies the lot of you.
Well done to Ides for bumping a thread about JKR.

No, most reasonable people are reasonable.
Most reasonable people are capable of critical thinking.
Most reasonable people don't use hyperbolic, hysterical nonsense on SM.
Most reasonable people don't tell lies.
Might be worth your trying to become reasonable.

It's your brand that's getting more toxic, mate.

The Vinegar Meanies.

Has a nice ring to it. I reckon our band would do The Slits covers.

Its a penis plop

i like a bit of alliteration

Prick Plop and the Testicles - on Top of the Pops with their song "JKR said I had a small willy."

"They won't be back, another TRA leaving with their tale between their legs."

😆😆😆😆😆😆😆🍆

Oh Ides will be back. Saying the same thing. I do find it bizarre they seem so focused on ‘dick and testicles’. I mean not so long ago it was ‘dick and balls’.

But really posts like those are repetitious but very enlightening really on so many levels.

Slight tangent but kind of JKR related in that they claim to have rationed JKR. Who the fuck is Keffals and why do they seem to get so much engagement on Twitter in reaction to the No of followers? Is it all bought/fake?

A personality who posts "I have always wanted to ratio [insert name here]" in reply to twitter threads.

Then the TRA crowd coalesce and Like that tweet. I don't think the followers are bought- it's just indicates that real actual people like to feel part of something, and feel a need to pull together to achieve goals.

Ha! I hadn’t heard this. ‘That pain is your bigotry!’

Ha! I hadn’t heard this. ‘That pain is your bigotry!’

I have no idea, but my guess is that it's mostly not fake (could be that several have sock puppet accounts). Just that trans activists are obsessed with one single issue and spend all their time and energy on it everywhere. Then even a small number of people (as they are, overall) can leave a large footprint on Twitter and other social media.

If you define trans as "not cis", then way more than 1 in 80 natal women are trans.

I still don't know whether I'm trans or not, as people keep giving different definitions or failing to clarify the definitions they give.

But do you define 'cis' as not 'trans'? Leaves the problem of what the definition of 'cis' is. Is it a belief in something, which differs through time and place?

"Cis" is "not trans".
"Transgender" is having a gender identity that doesn't match your sex, yet no-one will say which sexes (physical body) match which gender identities (feelings). So you might assume that "woman" matches "female" but then told it's wrong to say that women are female.

"Agender" which as far as I can tell is "not having a gender identity" comes under the trans umbrella.

So to be cis you actively have to have a gender identity that "matches" your sex. Which I'm fairly sure I don't. I always thought woman was synonymous with female adult, so I've always thought I was a woman, because i know what sex I am. But apparently it is wrong to say that that is what a woman is. I'll know if I identify as one when it's defined, which it never is. Until then I'm stuck with the same English language definition I, and most other people in my culture, have grown up with.

Either there is something female about being a woman, or there isn't, in which case what are TW identifying as? Surely not a bunch of ridiculous stereotypes about how female people are presumed to think, act, feel etc purely because they are XX?

“Cis” is a fiction, like the whole nonsensical edifice that is genderism.

I think this just about sums some peoplw up.

😂you have to laugh!
