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

The uncancelling of JK Rowling

Tide appears to be turning for the Harry Potter author ostracised for her trans views

@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.

So adopted parents aren't real parents? That's an awful take and disrespectful to many people.

They are well aware they didn't give birth to their children, hence the 'adopted' part.

Now, again, how do transwomen give birth?

Brisland · 02/05/2023 13:15

@hotdiggetydog - it is definitely an awful take and disrespectful, so I would encourage you to not state such utter shit again - after all, I didn’t say anything of the sort, it was entirely your call.

I would appreciate it very much if you could, whilst refraining from employing such utter shit as diversionary tactics, provide the evidence for your claim - evidence of transwomen giving birth.

You're moving the goal posts so fast, you're going to get whiplash.

Human beings can't change sex. If you believe that, you need to start unpicking what you have been told.

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

Mothering= an act of parenting done by a woman. Personally I think this can include transwomen as it can be socially defined and like you said, adoption, fostering etc are ways to become a mother.

Having babies- growing a foetus in a womb then giving birth to it. Only female humans can do this, regardless of how they identify.

If people could "change sex" then trans women could have babies. Not one ever has.

Exactly what I think reading your posts @hotdiggetydog!

turbonerd · 02/05/2023 13:41

Oh dawg.
no trans identifying man can give birth. No trans women can give birth. No non-binary men can give birth.
why is that, do you think?

hotdiggetydog · 02/05/2023 13:44

Plenty of "biological" women don't have wombs or can't give birth to children.

Are they banned from the ladies loos as well as trans women?

No.

Then why the bigotry?

turbonerd · 02/05/2023 13:52

Oh dawg.
This is really difficult for you, isn’t it?

Let’s see if we can phrase the questions a bit differently, shall we:
What do men’s bodies have that women don’t?
What do women’s bodies have that men don’t?

Damn, I hope you are properly warming up before all these reaches as you are in serious danger of hurting yourself!

There are some women who can't give birth but the majority can.

100% of transwoman are unable to give birth.

hotdiggetydog · 02/05/2023 13:58

So why arent the ones who can't give birth banned from the ladies loos?

Why would they be banned?

You seem confused and keep conflating separate arguments into one.

PSNonsense · 02/05/2023 14:04

Whether they can give birth or not or have a womb (or not) they all have a vagina. Which trans women don't have. Because they are men.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that it's because they're women.

OK
So there are two people who identify as women who go to the doctor because they can't get pregnant.
One is referred for tests to find out why they are finding it hard.

One is told to go away because of course they aren't going to get pregnant.

That's the basic difference between women and trans women.

It's insulting to imply women who have trouble getting pregnant are equivalent to males who identify as women.

I've not been owned at all, it's just a difference of opinions.

We're right, you're wrong 🤷🏻‍♀️ Btw, why are you presenting your opinions as fact?
