JKR asking similar questions to what I have been asking for years on here.

As another man who once worked with me declares himself saddened by my beliefs on gender and sex, I thought it might be useful to compile a list for handy reference. Which of the following do you imagine makes actors and directors who aren’t involved with the HBO reboot of Harry Potter so miserable?

Is it my belief that women and girls should have their own public changing rooms and bathrooms?

That women should retain female-only rape crisis centres?

That men don’t belong in women’s sport?

That female prisoners shouldn’t be incarcerated with violent men and male sex offenders?

That women should remain a protected class in law, because they have sex-specific needs and issues?

That language should reflect reality rather than ideological jargon, especially in a medical context?

That women shouldn’t be harassed, persecuted or fired for refusing to pretend humans can change sex?

That women should not be threatened with violence and rape when they assert their rights?

That freedom of speech and belief are essential to a pluralistic democratic society?

That troubled minors, especially those who are gay, autistic and trauma-experienced, should be given mental health support instead of irreversible surgeries and drug treatments on non-existent evidence of benefit?

That gay people shouldn’t be pressured to include the opposite sex in their dating pools, nor should they be smeared as ‘genital fetishists’ when they don’t?

That cross-dressing heterosexual male fetishists aren’t actually oppressed, but having the time of their lives piggybacking off gender identity ideology?

That said ideology, and the privileged, blinkered fools pushing it because they suffer zero consequences themselves, have done more damage to the political left’s credibility than Trump and Farage could have achieved in a century?

Let me have your thoughts.

This sums up the views of the majority of posters on this board, however, we often have other posters tell us they don’t agree with us, but never what views they don’t actually agree with.

So, those of you that don’t agree with the majority view on here, what is it about the above that you don’t agree with?

she’s never said anything vaguely controversial, transphobic, hateful or inaccurate in any of her many tweets. The only way TRA can bash her is with blatant bullshit and lies.

Which of the following do you imagine makes actors and directors who aren’t involved with the HBO reboot of Harry Potter so miserable?

Love this. It’s a question in the “what first attracted you to the millionaire Paul Daniels?” Mrs Merton style 🤣

"That said ideology, and the privileged, blinkered fools pushing it because they suffer zero consequences themselves [my emphasis], have done more damage to the political left’s credibility than Trump and Farage could have achieved in a century?"

Now, there is a rather delicious irony to this statement. I'm sure that some of you are a gnat's whisker away from spotting it.

I think I'll print that out and have it handy when anyone tries to argue I'm a bigot.

Great post. JKR's response to the ongoing coverage of Chris Columbus interviews is fire.

We all know that most people agree with all or some of JKR's opinions. A lot of people are lying.

Good. This is exactly what needs to be done.

Make them accountable for their opinions, which they fondly imagine are progressive.

Largely, because they have no fucking idea what they're agreeing or disagreeing with.

That's why, when this twit came out and said how sad JKR was making him, my response was let's ask him if he thinks women should be incarcerated with convicted rapists, in that case. Make him own it.

Any response is going to be very interesting. Because he's going to have to come down on one side of this argument or the other.

The time for fudging just disappeared.

JKR is a brilliant feminist, socialist a philanthropist.

Gender ideology is individualistic and consumerist. It could only exist in a patriarchal, capitalist society. That it has corrupted our once socialist left speaks poorly of our education system and our complacency. I don't doubt the situation has been amplified by those with a vested interest in the UK left being split.

Instead of looking outwards towards fixing the misogyny, sexism, homophobia and ableism in our society, gender ideology locates the issue in people's own bodies. Great news for big pharma. No longer limited to selling plastic surgery to "cis" women, now all the alternative kids can become patients too! For life! Kerching!

Pound to a penny he will claim it's not what she says, it's the way she says it.

100%. I suspect we will hear the same from the posters who disagree with us. If they post on this thread that is.

And yet those who send rape and death threats to women who disagree with gender ideology get a free pass, despite the fact that both what they say and the way in which they say it are the problem.

Brilliant response from her, especially the little dig about these sad cases not being involved in the new Harry Potter show ☺️

God she must get sick to death of all the craven pathetic boo-hooing

The Metro had a piece on convicted criminal Boy George last week, in which he managed to get in a dig at Rowling. Pathetic little man.

She missed one.

That they are not getting hired and getting a % linked remuneration package.

I love that I am still getting cash (£2 pa🫢) nearly [redacted as its making me sad🤪 and old] years after I followed a then workmates advice. (Sheesh where did the time go)

"That cross-dressing heterosexual male fetishists aren’t actually oppressed, but having the time of their lives piggybacking off gender identity ideology?"

Is it not more the case that "gender identity ideology" (the idea - amongst others - that mentally ill people should have their delusions affirmed and celebrated and that it is great if teen girls' autism or PTSD or experience of lesbophobia causes them to try to opt out of womanhood) has been created off the back of hetrosexual male fetishists?

That gay people shouldn’t be pressured to include the opposite sex in their dating pools, nor should they be smeared as ‘genital fetishists’ when they don’t?

Lest anyone think the battle is over, just this last week Reddit banned its only lesbian subreddit that insisted that lesbian be define as female and homosexual, r/TheLezistance. That declaration is still considered unacceptable hate speech on many parts of social media.

It always reminds me of when Riley Gaines is mentioned, and it's relatively rare (and I kind of respect the ideologues who do it) that what Riley actually says is criticised.

Nine times out of ten, she's the wrong person with the wrong background saying it in the wrong way.

That cross-dressing heterosexual male fetishists aren’t actually oppressed, but having the time of their lives piggybacking off gender identity ideology?

This is the one I would take issue with from her list. I think she’s veering from fact to opinion here and there’s a nasty tone that is the reason many people dislike her. A lot of trans people are very confused and unhappy. I don’t think they’re all ‘fetishists’ and it doesn’t seem to me that a lot of them are ‘having the time of their lives’.

Thanks Dial. That is a fine list she has prepared.

I would love to see which ones people will find controversial or would refuse to to answer.

She very clearly doesn't say 'all' though.

I read that as implied? Because she doesn’t say ‘some’ either.

I think that both are true.

I agree that the fetishists were very much there forming the theories and the groups. But then benefitted from the widening umbrella and the widening group of female people with transgender identities.

It could be said that she was not a clear as she normally is.

But that’s not what she’s saying. She’s saying that they have piggy backed on to the vulnerable who are caught up in Gender Ideology. And have been given a free rein to show their fetish so yes, they are having the time of their life.

People won't actually say it, but I think it's these ones mainly. It's never about transmen.

Is it my belief that women and girls should have their own public changing rooms and bathrooms?
That women should retain female-only rape crisis centres?
That men don’t belong in women’s sport?
That female prisoners shouldn’t be incarcerated with violent men and male sex offenders?
That women should remain a protected class in law, because they have sex-specific needs and issues?

You've misread what she said.

She's not talking here about 'trans people', she's talking about cross-dressing heterosexual male fetishists.

Those fetishists definitely aren't oppressed.
