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?

You said this. In bold!

JKR's support for women and women's right is extremely commendable. Her sneering, spiteful punching down comments against certain groups in society is not.

And a PP disagreed with your framing. Then you called them stupid? Just... wow.

So you don’t believe it’s acceptable for women to set boundaries or make objective statements about sex.

Its good to be able to get to the root of the problem.

Whereas using terms like ‘cult leader….’
I mean that really is wow, that is not remotely conducive to civilized discussion.
I’m afraid some of us were members of the strange cult defending women’s rights and concerned about vulnerable youngsters years before jkr joined our ranks.

I wonder how polite you would be in her position, towards the group who have been relentlessly defaming her, and in some case sending her rape and death threats, for the last six years?

You mean eg one tweet where she said male rapist and men and TRA lost their shit and decided that it has to be about "all 'genuine' trans iding males who could nvere be a rapist because (checks notes) 'genuine' trans Iding males dont rape and if the male is a rapist he could not have been a 'genuine' trans IDing male to begin with"

Was that about right or can you provide evidence of your claim?

If only there was a workable definition of "genuine trans".

Why not just expand on the second part and try to use less inflammatory words? I'd like to know what you mean, but your choice of sneering, spiteful punching down causes whatever you point is to be lost because of those words. I'd like to know what you were trying to say please.

I love how you deliberately misconstrue her ACTUAL WORDS to create an entirely different narrative.

Don’t give up the day job…🙄

Anybody who has to "celebrate" Celibacy or Medical issues (or the multiple other reasons people dont have sex) need to be mocked.

And also be told fuck right off with the storyline that everybody else is having sex all of the time.

‘Is a cult leader responsible for the behaviour of their cult members? Is an influencer responsible for the behaviour of their followers?’

JKR is neither a cult leader nor an influencer, she’s an author who supports the rights of women and girls. She’s a philanthropist who has to date, has given away approximately £250 million pounds of her fortune to good causes, and has set up several foundations to support women and girls. Your point would have relevance if she was trying to persuade people to believe things that aren’t true, but she is simply stating simple, biological facts.

I’m not a die hard fan of anyone, or the films for that matter, because I am an adult and can think for myself, but when a woman with her profile is prepared to stand up and say what needs to be said, despite the appalling rape and death threats she receives, then I will support her, because what she’s saying is factually correct. I think you are misunderstanding the women on this forum, because we don’t need to agree with everything she says or does, because we’re adults and we can think for ourselves.

Thanks for the patronising edit by the way, that’s a real first.

If you'll accept an unworkable definition, there already is a definition.
Anyone who says they are.

You posted this earlier on in the thread.

Her cult will be along shortly in an attempt to character assassinate me for posting anything other than fawning, mindless adoration of her.

Yet, you’re the only poster I have seen accusing people of being stupid. In fact, you are pretty nasty about the posters on this board in the quote above alone.

Don't be silly Lady B's H. We are mere sheep who are not as intelligent as the brainiac @ThisChicPinkRaven .

But if that's the only definition we have, both people with terrible gender dysphoria who have had gender reassignment surgery and fully intact male rapists in bad wigs are equally "genuine trans".

While in no way disagreeing with your excellent explanation of Relative Privation, in this case it is also an example of the factual fallacy colloquially known as "talking out of one's arse" .

Imagine picking, of all things, domestic violence, sexual violence, women's mental health issues & online misogyny as examples of things JKR should be doing instead.

I guess Howie hasn't bothered finding out what the charities JKR supports to the tune of millions of pounds actually do 😂
No, angry TRAs say JKR is a wrong'un and that's good enough for Howie!

Perhaps Daniel Radcliffe and Chris Columbus agree with all the MRAs who frequent MN, but if so they are remarkably coy about saying so.

They say just enough to protect to protect their images but don’t care enough about anyone’s rights to say more.

This ⬆️

Ok

What righs do asexuals need that someone is trying to remove?

I know, I was probably also punching down and using the wrong tone, being spiteful and nasty, my bad 🥴

routinely implying trans people are dangerous delusional predatory sexual deviants with no associations to women.

if only she didn’t force people to send her rape threats they wouldn’t look so bad!

Ironically you can't punch down, as you are a sheeplike cult member who is too stupid to realise they are being manipulated.

Thanks lechiffre

The relative privation fallacy is also one that is fully steeped in arrogance.

Because who the fuck has the right to expect any private person (ie. not within an organisational relationship) to give priority to that person's personal list of political aims?

@FlirtsWithRhinos

Yeah I mean it's not like she's founded and funded out of her own wizarding pockets charities that do that sort of work herself is it?
cough Beria's Place cough cough
Yeah I know I spelt Beira's Place wrong, but it's my most favourite most wildly inappropriate joke, especially in MN context.

Of course, can’t believe I needed reminding about that, silly old sheep brain 🐑 baa

If only she, and every other pesky woman who doesn’t want creepy men in their SSS would just stop talking!! The world would be a much better place for those creepy men and they wouldn’t be so very sad, in these very sad times 🥹
