This thread is specifically for people who think JK Rowling is awful so..

[CurlewKate]

If you don't think she is please don’t post. Please can you tell me specifically what she has said or done that is so bad. I promise that I will listen and not argue. If you could include links that would be great. If your inclination is to assume that I’m posting in bad faith and any reasonably well informed person must be stupid or bigoted not to know, then please just let the thread die.

What, like the delight that is India Willoughby?

Such as…

How has she done that exactly? The only known trans person I see her grappling with in the public eye is India Willoughby and they certainly seem to thrive on the attention and aren't above throwing insults around themselves.

I was not thinking of IW particularly, no.

Of course she's not perfect. Nobody is. But you seem to think she's evil incarnate just because she holds opinions that you don't share.

‘ It is not up to me to prove anything, I am just commenting on information widely available on the internet.’

Is it on Reddit? Surely you must know not all widely available information on the internet is equal? And yes, it IS up to you to prove the statements that YOU have made in regards to child exploitation.

It’s hardly irrelevant to explore your morality when you are quite happy to give us chapter and verse on the lack thereof in JKR. The two examples I used are very relevant to JKR, given how much you apparently know about her I’m surprised you don’t know that.

Awaits "I'm too busy to tell you this, just look on her X page" reply.

Lucy Clark for instance

An example of her transphobia is the marycatedelvey video she retweeted in May.

It starts with a question "Why would someone choose to be trans ?"

The person in the video responds with: "It's a "f**cking fetish Jannet", calls all trans women "porn addicted degenerates" and describes trans rights as a perverts movement.

I am sorry, but you can't call an entire segment of the population porn addicted degenerates and then claim not to have a prejudice against them.

This is relevant. Chocolate, not clothing. But it shows both the direct level of control she has over the supply chain (that is, none) and that she's very willing to pressure the licensees of the HP brand to remove child and slave labour from the process.

It seems that most of the objections are unsubstantiated nonsense.

He'd been in her replies for years insulting her. Fair game.

100% this. Humans CANNOT change sex. No animal can change sex. Their cells, at the moment of conception, will ALL be either XX (female) or XY (male). Removing various parts of the anatomy and/or surgically replacing them with others does not change your sex. Flooding the body with hormones usually associated with the opposite sex does not change your sex. It may enhance characteristics normally associated with the opposite sex but they are still the original sex that was determined at conception.

Yet are we going to ignore the fact that some ‘transwomen’ are extremely open about the fact that, for them, it is a fetish?

Delvey’s entire feed is quoting what ‘transwomen’ say about themselves on Reddit and similar.

This Lucy Clark? Who had been goading JKR for years? https://nitter.poast.org/galluslass/status/1789969437627392114#m

She's not wrong though is she. For many if not most of these men who pretend to be women, it is a porn-driven sexual fetish. Some of them, including well-known published authors and film directors, admit this outright (see: Andrea Long Chu, Lilly Wachowski).

And if you consider that "trans rights" mostly focuses of giving these men access to female spaces, and these men know very well that women and girls object to their presence, what else can you call that? It is perverse for men to want to disregard women's boundaries.

I had totally forgotten about this so had to Google. Glad I did as found this excellent piece. The last line is certainly true "Bullies calling their victims bullies – it’s the slipperiest trick of the new left."

Oh stupid link didn't work but it was Brendan O'Neill writing in The Spectator.

Who then?

She’s responsible for absolutely everything that’s bad in the world obviously, war, famine, murder, you name it, it’s all her fault. No proof required, just belief. Just like that other thing we’re supposed to believe in that doesn’t require proof, what’s it called again….?

Exactly. Her series is called “Listen to Trans People” and it’s just grim and misogynistic comments from TRAs on social media. Why would women want to share spaces with men like that? It doesn’t matter if they are the minority, it’s completely male pattern behaviour and that’s why female spaces need to be female only.

To demonstrate this

DARVO - Deny attack, reverse victim and offender

I mean, what else are we supposed to call these men?

Fucking hell.

Literally no other words.
