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.

Are you assuming trans women are likely sex offenders?

This is just the "we don't want gays near children" argument rebadged really

Take your homophobia somewhere else, please.
As you know, male people are more likely to be sex offenders than female people. This is borne out by data. Lots of it. To say it's the same as gay people suggests you think that gay people are more likely to be sex offenders. Show us the data if you really think that.

No. No, they don't, no matter how much they want to.
You need to get over it; it simply doesn't happen.

The dogs problem is they don't understand why women need to be protected, they think we already have equality and are being mean. Give them 15 years and kids! Yes they need to read about feminism!

She's such a respectable person. Even when turned on from people she previously called friends, she never showed a trace of bitterness even for a moment. Something more of us could aspire to..

Daniel Radcliffe had a go the other week at JKR. I thought cheeky oik. You're a run of the mill actor whereas JKR is a hugely successful woman.

Just want to check hotdiggetydog, that you really don't understand the issue.

Female writers will assume a male nom de plume to neutralise the sexism imposed by men.

Men insisting on entering women's spaces are exploiting the sexism imposed by men.

Using women's necessity for privacy because of male behaviour and using a pseudonym because of male behaviour are not opposites.

He's fairly A list to be honest.

Transwomen are women so can use the ladies loos.

Your scientific illiteracy is getting very old. 🙄

You know that's nonsense. Why keep spouting it?

These TRAs never seem to realise that they always do the job for us. Any lurkers must be thinking "WTF".

Transwomen are women so can use the ladies loos.

Make your mind up, you called them men on the previous page.
'Yep, but she's got issues with men doing the reverse'.

Are you assuming trans women are likely sex offenders?

It's interesting that your mind jumped to sex offenders.

As it happens, according to stats on the prison population, men who identify as women are 5x more likely than other men to commit sexual offences.

We know that not every male is a sex offender, but because we can't tell the ones who are from the ones who aren't, we exclude them from female spaces where women need privacy or are vulnerable, like women-only hospital wards, changing rooms, prisons, refuges. The same should apply to men who claim they are women.

Decent men accept this. Decent men don't take women having boundaries and needing privacy as a personal insult. They don't throw tantrums because women say 'no'. The men that do are red flags and the reason we need our own spaces in the first place.

When did the word 'woman' meaning adult human female, come to mean men? Why do some feel they have the absolute right to extend the biological term for an adult human female to the male of the species? Imagine if you were a farmer wanting to buy ewes( female sheep) and ended up with a load of rams, because the term meant whatever anyone wanted? That is ludicrous and so is saying TWAW.

So most women aren't women? There's no common characteristic between me and a TW. Does excluding women from the definition of women not bother you at all?

Ah, you do get it. I thought so.

When in doubt, move those goalposts. 😁

I categorically do not believe anyone is born in the wrong body so I guess by definition that makes me anti trans.

Which is sad really as if a person decides they are in the wrong body and expresses themselves accordingly without any infringement on the rights, safety and boundaries of others I will be completely respectful of them. I won't agree with how they see themselves but that's not "denying their existence ".

Unfortunately there is no middle ground or compromise or discussion at all permitted with this movement.

Not if there is a chance a person with a penis could assault you it's not.

I love how some women don't give a shit about throwing other women under the bus

👏

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

People can and do. It's a fact.

@hotdiggetydog - if males can become females via a “sex change operation”, there must be lots of transwomen having babies. Can you please provide evidence of this, after all you said they CHANGE SEX. Thanks in advance.

Transwomen are women so can use the ladies loos.

No, they aren’t and no they shouldn’t. Third spaces are the answer, to ensure everyone’s safety, dignity and privacy.

Hot dog, hot dog, the problem’s solved
Hot dog, hot dog, hot diggety dog.

Thank you for putting that fine Mickey Mouse Clubhouse tune in my head, if nothing else!

Are you assuming trans women are likely sex offenders?

No need to assume anything

There's more than one way to mother a child. Like adoption or fostering for examples.

Oh god, it'll be hysterectomies next

@hotdiggetydog , but I didn’t ask about how or who can “mother” a child.

You stated people can CHANGE SEX. If this is true, then there will be transwomen giving birth/having babies. Please provide evidence of this occurring.

The original bizarre and extraordinary response to her tweets was what set me on the path of GC. I greatly appreciate her❤️
