Indeed. JKR is most definitely a divisive figure; representing on the one hand an almost deified status to her indoctrinated cult of transphobes, and an unnecessarily spiteful bully to everybody else 🙄

'everybody else'.

What, like the millions of people who've bought her game, books, merchandise, rides and show tickets??

So even though she spent $250 million setting up charities for women and children, she's nonetheless bumped her financial status back up to billionaires-ville once more?

That 'everybody else??

Fuck me, I can't tell you how much I wish 'everybody else' disagreed with me to the point of giving me millions of pounds!!

Oh dear. Let me see if I can simplify this for you; if a person commits sins against group A whilst simultaneously charitably supporting group B, they are not absolved of those sins. The one act does not invalidate the other.

Or, alarmingly, perhaps you think it does? 🤔

@GegenFanatiker
a) what sins against group A - you will need to be specific, as most people here have read her stuff directly rather than getting their opinions second hand

b) does the language of sin and absolution, and the requirement to believe in the meaningless mantra TWAW never strike you as being a bit like a religion?

CassOle · 02/06/2025 21:10

Oh, you lot are awful sinners!

Now go and say 6 Hail Marys 'Trans Women are Women' and 4 Our Fathers 'Trans Rights are Human Rights', and pray for absolution!

The biggest surprise for me tonight was that I opened this thread forgetting that I started it!

‘Sins’ 😂 the evangelical brigade have arrived, buckle up! Validate and agree with me 💯 or you’re the devil is that it? It’s like talking to toddlers, except they’re more fun.

Come on Jolyon, just admit you love JKR, it would be much better for you.

I’m getting ‘deep in revision for A Level German’ vibes. Keep going @GegenFanatiker. You’ll be at uni soon where gender ID is all a bit ‘Home Counties idea of rebellion, try harder’.

HaveYouActuallyDoneAnyWashingThisWeekMum · 03/06/2025 07:59

I’m getting Chat GPT vibes from the style of Gegen’s posts.

BezMills · 03/06/2025 08:45

It's giving "get an account, choose a great username, tell the terfs off, get bored and flounce triumphantly without contributing much" but we shall see

If it's ChatGPT than it has mastered the slight condescension that many Germans have without noticing and before someone tells me off for stereotyping poor Germans, I'm one myself.

That review is very good and very funny, thanks, @Igneococcus

I just remembered Sarah Ditum reviewed two books in the Times this weekend, one is by someone who is asexual. Here is the review if anybody wants to read it:https://www.thetimes.com/article/84a7c0a8-a3e9-4e42-8911-f9be2793fc36?shareToken=2e1bfa0721256e4ca1c0e5dd1e11d286

He great piece thanks.
“Good As You” as the old dignified gay slogan.
She’s really on to something with the new
“Better Than You” feeling which seems to be playing out in the Progress movement now...

I’ve never been to Pride before but I’m tempted to go this year to see what groups it now represents

And when you’re lefthanded and a redhead, life gets difficult.

Try not to be a lefthanded old redhead vegan.

lcakethereforeIam · 03/06/2025 11:44

Thanks for the Sarah Ditum article. It gave me a sentence I've been unconsciously reaching for

the aroace label is really just a way to put other people permanently in the wrong

The 'full body condom' was an excellent bonus.

Thelnebriati · 03/06/2025 11:52

It all smacks of Orwell's Junior Anti Sex League.

SinnerBoy · 05/06/2025 11:43

As I read this book, I started to form the unworthy suspicion that the aroace label is really just a way to put other people permanently in the wrong.

I'm not the only one to agree with that, I see!

That review was well worth a read thanks. I'll skip the books though, I can read that kind of self-indulgent drivel for free on Reddit or various sweaty Discord channels 😄

If 'ace' were really an identity, then the asexual community would have their own flag, wouldn't they?

Manteiga · 09/06/2025 23:55

asexual community, I mean
