To find it heartening that despite so many famous people being anti JKR, their are still so many who are prepared to work on HP?

The end credits on the full cast audio takes 13 minutes. Hugh Laurie, Carl Prekopp, Mark Addy, Indira Varma.....and so many many names!

Then the TV series. Nick Frost, Warwick Davies, John Lithgow, Janet McTeer, Katherine Parkinson and (my favourite) Daniel Rigby.

I feel that the actors and crew are saying that they agree with her (or at least, dont disagree), without actually saying that they agree, if you see what I mean.

There may not be enough evidence to show that a trans identified male presents a greater risk to women and girls than other women and girls but the rare cases of assaults/ harassment that have occurred in such spaces have not been perpetrated by women.

Gen Alpha overall really don't give a stuff about all of the old (to them) people screaming about how nasty JKR is. In fact it probably makes them more likely to seek out anything Harry Potter, they're contrary little people.

By this logic toilets don't need to be separated but clearly they do for safety reasons that applies to both trans women & women. And given there's no evidence statistically of trans women being a safety risk to women then sharing toilets only makes sense.

Women being forced to share their spaces with men makes no sense to women, it really isn't that hard to comprehend.
We don't have to justify it, or provide statistics for it, or explain it in any way, the fact that we don't want to share our spaces with men is enough.
Any problem men have in men's spaces is for men to sort out, not women.

I agree. Most people are afraid to speak up because of the potential backlash, so they say nothing and allow everyone to think they are on board with the TWAW concept.

Loads of people of all ages buy merch

the biggest spender i know is my 29 year old son in law who has been buying HP stuff for years….there is always something HP related on his Christmas and birthday lists

Jealous much?

But it's about womens rights (and that affects 50% of the population) not 'trans issues'.

So you admit removing womens hard won rights is a human rights violation, @godtierKaren ?

There is no freedom for a male to enter a sacred safe female only single sex space.

Women change openly in front of the sinks to go clubbing. Miscarry. Flee to the ladies to escape a male. Seek help. They wash out blood-stained underwear at the sink, baby sick off blouses. We are sometimes in a state of partial undress. Which is why we need the communal safe space. Cubicles do fuck all for that. Not to mention there are cubicles in the males too...

It's garden variety ignorance that says womens hard won rights to female only single sex spaces should be dismantled and that our foremother feminists who achieved those rights did all that work for nothing.

But you are denying biological realities. You are denying that a fully intact male remains a male when he puts on a dress.

Yep, it's like they don't realise how batshit their argument about "cubicles" is and why it doesn't work since there are cubicles in the MALES too. That there demolishes their 'gotcha' argument. So therefore, transwomen can use the cubicles in the.....MALES. Micdrop.

Transwomen by their own admission have said they are safe in the males, the worst they get is a smirk. It's never been about safety, it's about VALIDATION and using women in the space around them as props for their validation.

And as males, and fully intact males at that, transwomen are a risk to women. Evidence shows transwomen sexually offend 5 times higher than other males.

And here is my usual reminder that men who are not 'fully intact' also remain male.
A woman who has a hysterectomy or a mastectomy or both is still a woman. The lad my husband held be medivac'd out of a war zone having lost much of his lower half to a IED was still a man.
Sex is encoded into every cell in the human body, it not located in an organ or two.
If a human is born male they will remain male until they die.

Not womens problem. Women are not HUMAN SHIELDS for blokes in dresses. Male on male violence is a problem for.....males to solve. Not palm it off to women and make women uncomfortable.

After all, as we are often told, there are these things called, wait for it....CUBICLES in the male toilets. Wonderful invention.

Gay men used to get beaten up in the gents... they never asked to enter the female toilets.

Just this!

Females don't rape. And 98% of all sex crimes are by males, so stop with the misogynistic 'women do it too' bs.

Why do you think male on male violence is a problem for women to solve? Why can't men solve male violence?

Why should hens be worried about fox on fox violence?

Your posts are nothing but misogyny.

Um, transwomen ARE biological men.

And here is all the evidence. UK, US, Canada and New Zealand.

You will see over only four countries that the trajectory is more than clear.

And Canada:

At this point I think you are confusing trans women with trans men, because of the biological comment. Perhaps you don't know that transwomen are biological males and are male in every single way possible. I think you are confusing them with people born female (trans men).

Now, it has not been proven a misrepresentation of women at all. You just don't like the facts handed to you. The fact is per capita representation of incarceration is an accurate marker and a fair representation and comparison. In fact, incarceration data is used for the benefit of many minority groups when data is compiled. So come up with another argument because that one does not wash.

Wrong. Reporting IS offending. SO that discredits your lies.

For example, most rapes of women are not reported therefore its impossible to know the extent of male violence to compare it with trans women.

That would only make a difference if there is a difference in the rates women report rapes by men compared to how they report rapes by transwomen (also men).

The misogynists are commenting on this thread...

They're cowards who never answer questions. It's why they lose each and every single time and why the feminists are winning the war and not them misogynists.
