The Uncancelling of JK Rowling

[NutellaEllaElla]

Gosh it is heartening to see even more evidence that the tide has turned. She's stuck to her guns and been too reasonable to be cancelled by the misogynists.

Times article here

I was asking hotdog as they appear to think some women can become men, but some are just pretending.

It's very confusing....

Oh you're American, of course you fucking are.

Oh dear. Our Disney junior enthusiast is like a dog with a bone. Shame that they’ve mistaken a toilet brush for a bone though.

Literally no one thinks the ‘Rowling pretends to be a man’ argument is the gotcha they seem to believe it to be.

Of course men, however they identify are allowed in adverts, just have they always have been 🙄 what is infuriating is a man putting on woman face to advertise a product solely aimed at the female body. But you knew that.

I really don't think they will have any problems with finding cast members due to boycotting- what a silly thing to say and good to see it was witheringly dismissed in that article!

It will be a fantastic project to get involved in and actors will be falling over themselves to be involved. If she follows her past policy when making the films JK will be looking to use British actors as much as possible who haven't in the main been quite as bonkers over the trans issue as in the US. They certainly haven't struggled to find cast members for the Cursed Child west end show.

Oooh, hark at you Hotdiggity

😁😂😁 Get over it 🤣🤣🤣

No.

No one can change their sex. Absolutely not. Positively not.
No.

Actually I would not enter a public lavatory designated for males for several reasons. One, they invariably stink of urine. Two it's disrespectful to males to think they will want to urinate in front of a random woman. ( I'm clearly talking about lavatories where there are urinals). And three, if I want men to respect me and not use the female loos then I don't use theirs. It's not trendy or right on to do it. Just disrespectful.

Just a tip for people that don't want to pay for access to news websites, try using 12ft.io to bypass the paywall

They're all different. Sometimes it's enough to just stop the tab fully loading by hitting on the x in the upper right hand corner.
If you're on PC rather than phone, blocking Javascript often works - good for NYT and WaPo, not for Telegraph or WSJ. Easiest if you install a browser extension like NoScript.

But on the topic, I think her appearance on the podcast also helped a lot in making it clear for the public what she thinks and doesn’t think.

She was calm, rational, emphatic and it very clear on her views.

It is lovely that the truth now wants out and that people can start to say it with less fear.
Such a weird climate of fear, as if that is something a righteous movement would like to foster.

Dress how you like, call yourself any name and have sex with any consenting adult that will have you, but don’t try to force me to pretend that biological sex doesn’t matter and that it us possible to change your sex.

Thanks for the airplane hack. Didn’t work but might try again. I did a full at attempt to sign up to the telegrapher once and they took money out of my account but I still couldn’t read any articles and my attempts to contact them about this went unanswered so I cancelled the subscription! Their loss.

You can change your name.You cannot change sex

oh please, are you 12?

They have already derailed another thread with this idiotic non-point.

I don't agree. The trans toilet debate has unfortunately complicated things, but I still believe in potty parity as a feminist goal. As long as there isn't equal provision (as in equal wait times, which means a minimum of 2:1 relationship in facilities) then men don't have a moral claim to quiet enjoyment of their privileges.

It's not a privilege to want single sex lavatories. It's a right for men and women.

Yes, there was a lot of misinformation about that particular case and some people got it wrong. You do realise that your take "aligns" you with Andrew Doyle (cf his latest book The New Puritans)? (I'm not a believer in "guilt by association, but so many of JKR's detractors are.)

Neither of those things is true - as you are well aware from another thread that you derailed with this utter nonsense.

I do wonder why the TRAs continue ro make up such mundane nonsense. I mean at least keep it interesting. I think she's an alien and eats trans people for breakfast or something. The boring, proven to be made up stuff is just wearing.

People can and do. It's a fact.

You...you do realise you literally cannot change sex. I mean, humans aren't Clownfish. Bless you.

And putting "it's a fact" at the end of your statement doesn't make a thing true 😂

So you've said. So if you could just explain to us how they do it, that would be very helpful.
Please?

Don’t think Hotdiggetydog knows difference between sex and gender….

Well, it's when you have a non-athlete male prancing around and taking the piss out of a) women, and b) athletes and sports people (women) whilst advertising a sports bra that is supposed to support breasts and prevent pain whilst exercising (when said male doesn't even have breast implants, just a flat male chest and non-existant pecs) that people are done with this shit.

Or reality and delusion.

Sex change operation. Loads of people have them.
