JK Rowling has sadly opened her mouth again

How the metro can put out this tweet which effectively suggests a woman shouldn't be allowed to speak is beyond me. Shocked but not surprised. Comments are heartening though, as is the ratio.

What an absolute knob that bellend is.

Obviously I'm talking about the horse on the left thinking it's a real horse!

ArcaneWireless · 05/03/2024 18:34

I remember that CBB.

They only managed to convince me that they were a real arsehole.

Nowt else.

Amanda B was 82 years old in that clip. With a rabid c 50 yr old TW bellowing threateningly at her.

Siri show me an example of male entitlement.

The Mr Menno video doing the rounds on X is a sight to behold.

I think it's brilliant, the whole thing, more and more people are coming out with the facts.

This wouldn't have been possible until very recently.

JKR has been very shrewd in her choice of TW she has directly called a man.

I feel like I'm missing out! (Goes off to look at Twitter)

Boiledbeetle · 05/03/2024 20:16

I just had to pause for a moment.

Sniggers.

I think JKR has spent a lot of time not rising to the bait, but patience has (understandably) worn thin.

There’s only so many times you can put up with someone calling you evil, a witch, ‘joking’ about abducting you (which resulted in a police visit) and blaming you for other people’s crimes.

I actually think it is deliberate. Yes IW has baited her but she is extremely intelligent and knows that the time is now to call a spade a spade (as it were).

The fact that IW is not legally 'female' will be part of the decision, as is the fact that IW is demonstrably misogynistic and homophobic & transphobic in tweets about other trans identifying males.

The fact that JKRs 'transphobia' is being called out for speaking the truth rather than IW's overt misogyny and homophobia & transphobia can only be because she is a woman rather than a protected class of male.

The fact that we are having to watch our language on this tread when it comes to pronouns around IW means that we still can't speak the truth. JKR is paving the way for correctly sexing these males, and every day I admire her more and more.

SabrinaThwaite · 05/03/2024 22:21

IW says that IW has a GRC?

So IW has, for legal purposes, become the opposite sex to their biological sex.

I know that it’s a legal fiction, you know that it’s a legal fiction, what a mess the GRA creates.

NonPlayerCharacter · 05/03/2024 22:27

I forget the details, but the Equality Act basically foresaw this whole shitstorm and was written to account for all this. It kept it legal to sex segregate certain things such as sport; a GRC might make you legally female but you'd never be biologically female and there would be some times when that mattered.

I'll need to read up on it again but basically it was written to prevent this whole clusterfuck from happening. It intended to give trans people with a GRC their rights without fucking women over and it did the job well.

This tweet:

Frances Weetman AT francesweetman
People who think JKR has been on some kind of unfathomable radicalisation journey miss that this is what happens to every woman as they increasingly run into the excesses of gender ideology. It’ll happen to all of us eventually; even TRAs in time. She is all of us

A friends son has recently come out as trans. I pretty much said this to a mutual friend to watch out for it happening and being there to support as I can't say it direct. Friend is very accepting, but we've already seen her running low on patience with certain things.

Its behaviour not identity that ultimately is the marker and the issue. And things you wouldn't otherwise accept but somehow tolerate in the name of being kind, and then instead are metaphorically punched in the face repeatedly, that makes you realise that theres a deeper problem at hand.

IW says that IW has a GRC?

Tbf IW also said that IW has a cervix. So who knows what the reality is there.

Fuck knows how but I’d forgotten that!

Didn’t India also claim that India wasn’t at risk of prostate cancer because India had changed sex?

SomeCatFromJapan · 05/03/2024 23:12

God yes that's right, so IW did!

The cervix thing is seared into my brain thanks to IW's offer to produce it on tv. It might even have specifically been breakfast tv.

Lion400 · 05/03/2024 23:12

The EA needs to be updated to make biological sex a protected characteristic.

This would keep eg. Female sports, toilets, changing facilities, dv centres, prisons etc etc male free. They will be labelled female (biological sex) only, and no one could argue.

Obv it’d still be abused but there wouldn’t be an open door saying please do come in, you’re welcome have some cake, how’s your dick.

afternoonoflife · 05/03/2024 23:29

Menno also has great hair. Another thing the TERFs have on their side.

Indeedy.

Maybe less time on Twitter and more time doing stuff in the real world would be more productive.

The real world? Not IndiiaWorld where India is loved and respected ? Surely you aren’t suggesting that India should be expected to face the real world, where people challenge IndiaTruths, and don’t make allowances even when you tell them you are very special.

NitroNine · 06/03/2024 00:47

I don’t understand how IW can be unemployed when they’ve such a skill for comedy writing:

Maybe it's because I'm at the centre of it, but I have NEVER seen such a nasty, venomous pile-on. The dehumanising language is off the scale.
Scary.

That CBB clip doing the rounds is actually quite shocking.

IW towering over cornered Amanda
IW I am a real woman
Amanda (politely) yes
IW (shouty) a real woman
Amanda (politely) okay
IW (pointing in Amanda's face) I'm glad that's sinking in
IW (shouting) I'm gonna say one more time
IW so it really penetrates
IW (stabbing finger at stunned Amanda with every word) I. AM. A. REAL. WOMAN.

But no amount of shouting, demanding, foot stamping, name calling and bullying can alter what people see or their real thoughts.

So India wants to make sure her "penetrates" does she? She sounds like a dick 🤔
