John Lithgow on JK Rowling

242 replies

QAOPspaceman · 02/02/2026 09:31

basically admits he hasn’t bothered thinking about her position on gender identity. The Harry Potter books are about tolerance so her stance is ‘inexplicable’, yet he’s never met her and only ‘read about her views’.
Read her for yourself pal! Do your own fucking thinking!

@Gretel346 Here is one tweet about 'men in dresses' 21/12/2024

"I think a lot of women are now so battle weary and have taken so much abuse they have a visceral reaction to men in dresses they never used to have. For me, the key isn't so much 'everyone can be what they want', because, you know, some people want to be serial killers. I do believe in people having the freedom to dress and present themselves however they like in their private lives (I don't apologise for thinking it outrageous that any man should be allowed to wear fetish gear to teach kids, for example). However, a lot of people in positions of power are squeamish about acknowledging the very different motivations people may have for testing social boundaries around dress and presentation. Kink is the great unmentionable for many of those who're desperate to be seen as kind and tolerant and liberal, but until we're honest about it, some very dubious individuals will continue to exploit this movement, which is already harming LGB people, who're getting blowback for the actions of heterosexual men, and women and kids, especially the most vulnerable, continuing to be put in harm's way."

I searched for 'man in dress' to see if she directed this to anyone. No. But she did tweet this in 12/12/2025

"Please explain what differentiates a trans woman from 'a man in a dress and make up', because I've been playing close attention to trans activists for a decade now and the most common explanation I've been given is 'he says he's a woman, so play along or you're evil.'

Runner up explanations: A man is a trans woman if he's put in a lot of effort into looking like a woman. However, a man who's made no such effort is just as valid a trans woman as one who does. Trans women with beards and penises are completely valid.

The existence of men and women with differences of sexual development ('intersex' people) prove that a completely different group of people who don't have such disorders are trans if they say they are.

The true mark of who's a man or a woman isn't biological sex, but the untestable gender identity that resides in all human beings, whether or not they believe in it. At the same time, trans people must be given easy, automatic access to cross-sex hormones and surgeries so they can alter themselves to more closely resemble the opposite biological sex."

You have accused her of 'liking and supporting' statements that call male people with transgender identities 'men in dresses' 'delusional' 'dangerous' 'predators'.

Do you have proof? Or are you just firing off some vague accusation without engaging with what she has actually said and whether she 'supported' a direct statement or merely replied?

Helleofabore · 04/02/2026 15:27

Helleofabore · 04/02/2026 14:53

Here are the results from 'delusional':

22/05/2025

"I'm not obliged to pretend I believe in anybody else's God, I won't pretend to believe falsehoods and I don't owe delusional men validation. You support an ideology that reduces 'woman' to a set of stereotypes. I find that infinitely more offensive than calling a man, a man."

This is in response to a discussion about India Willoughby who has a very long history of being abusive directly to JK Rowling. I believe Willoughby even did a media stunt of reporting her to the police.

20/10/2024

"Please share the reams of proof you undoubtedly have that I want trans people to jump out of windows/send trans people messages telling them to kill themselves. Otherwise we might have to conclude you're completely delusional."

This is a reply to someone who has made an accusation about her and she has pointed out that they have imagined that she has said what they accused her of. (Sound familiar?)

10/10/2024

"The only reason you think sex-testing is discriminatory is that you think male athletes should be able to hide their sex when competing against women, and if you think a cheek swab, which is all that's required, is 'violent', you're too delusional to be allowed out on your own."

This is a reply to someone calling a cheek swab "highly discriminatory and violent practice in competitive sports".

18/10/2024

"I 100% know you aren't remotely narcissistic or delusional, and so does everyone who listens to you x "

this is saying that Kristoffer (who I believe is a male with a transgender identity) is NOT delusional.

31/08/2022

"They're exactly like the Loch Ness monster true believers who faked evidence of Nessie to prove they weren't delusional."

This one is referring to someone who posted a faked tweet saying it was something she posted to prove that she was a bigot and hateful.

Onto the next search....

You know @Gretel346 , perhaps you should have done these searches before you tried to say she has said these things ....

"she has said these things ...."

Should be she 'supported' these things. In fact, I think that what I have found makes it look more like you cannot substantiate what you haves said yourself.

"JKR has liked/supported statements on X that call trans women 'men in dresses' 'delusional' 'dangerous' 'predators' so that kind of invalidates any notion that she accepts a personally subjective view on gender without their being some kind of perversion attached to their beliefs…ironically that she herself suffers from."

So.... she suffers from some kind of 'perversion' because of her beliefs ?... yet you have judged her from her 'likes' and what you consider 'support' ...

Ok.

RavelsDancer · 04/02/2026 18:55

Okay: The Harry Potter books are NOT only about tolerance, they are about love, first and foremost, and about standing up to things you absolutely know are wrong and harmful.

Actually, they are about the opposite of blind "tolerance": resistance. Blind, cozy "tolerance" is Minister Fudge, twirling his hat. Blind tolerance towards men's and their handmaiden's non-stop FUCKING WAFFLING about what is essentially a mosaic of some classic male porn fetishes over the female body has now led to the society of the 21st century happily sterilising and castrating physically healthy young people. That is mostly young guys infected with fetish-rot and young females who want to escape. You know it's true.

Also, I'm sorry, but the term Tolerance has become so so 🤮 lately, it has been weaponised against all women, insecure children and true outcasts, that it's kind of foregone its original meaning. As has "being kiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiind" (pronounced in Sir Stephen Fry's most patronising, most PC, most BBC, most Oxford Union misogynistic slimer voice).

Think about it: If your body tolerated and incorporated all the shit that it comes into contact with daily, that would mean you have no immune system of your own, and you would be pushing daisies before long. Well, immaterial ideas can be shite and make people very ill, too, apparently. Pseudo-academic ideas are not harmless. Dismantle them. Don't just lie down and play dead in order to fit in.

(Lying down on the ground and appeasing, making endless concessions to "vulnerability" and "stunningness" and "bravery" also will never ever satisfy genuine maligne narcissists. Case in point being the ever-fawning Emma Watson who is allowing herself to be used as an influental pawn and she's still not enough for some. Did she learn to fawn and plead like that on set, or what? May she wake up; gently.)

You appear to have misunderstood my comment about JK Rowling's support for transphobic statements which was in reference to specific statements by others such as Magdalen Berns & Maya Forstater.

In any case, JKR's understanding of how trans people identify as trans purely as a stereotypical delusion that's a danger to society rather than a rational conclusion is supported by her own words in this very thoughtful piece:

"In an attempt to demonstrate her understanding of where transgender people are coming from, Rowling even says she too might have considered transitioning had the option been available to her as a teenager. “The allure of escaping womanhood would have been huge, “ she writes. “If I’d found community and sympathy online that I couldn’t find in my immediate environment, I believe I could have been persuaded to turn myself into the son my father had openly said he’d have preferred.

The belief that gender identity is a phase, a choice, or something that is influenced by other people is a stereotype that minimizes the struggles of anyone who experiences gender dysphoria. Transitioning isn’t easy but Rowling seems to be saying people can choose to transition on a whim simply because they think it’s more convenient to be one gender than another.

In her essay, Rowling goes on to reveal that she is a domestic and sexual abuse survivor and those experiences have made her even more focused on biology, “out of solidarity with the huge numbers of women who have histories like mine, who’ve been slurred as bigots for having concerns around single-sex spaces.”

Referring to the debate around public washrooms in particular, Rowling claims she’s concerned for the safety of cis women and girls. “When you throw open the doors of bathrooms and changing rooms to any man who believes or feels he’s a woman—and, as I’ve said, gender confirmation certificates may now be granted without any need for surgery or hormones—then you open the door to any and all men who wish to come inside.”

Throughout her essay, Rowling talks about how easy it is for a biological man to become a woman in the eyes of the law and how potentially dangerous that could be for cis women. The fear that a large number of transgender women are just men who want to be able to use women-only spaces unchecked is a harmful stereotype that paints trans people as predators instead of just human beings who want to live their lives."

J.K. Rowling's History Of Transphobia - IN Magazine

The world is going through a lot right now. With a global pandemic still in full swing and Black Lives Matter protests happening all over the world every day, J.K. Rowling thought it would be a good time to remind everyone that she’s still transphobic....

If you are suggesting special treatment for some people can you expand your personal world view by answering the two questions below?

Can you please explain why you think a teen age girl should be made shower and change clothing in front of any male?

Can you then explain why you support the State policy which (on your behalf) decides that Women in the care of the State should be forced into providing companionship to male sex offenders?

Saying trans people aren't delusional & have a right to self determination isn't a licence for 'special treatment'. How society organises itself depends on utility not a right to exist.

So, I wasn’t wrong. You have relied on someone else’s interpretation of what she said.

And I know numerous female teenagers who declared transgender identities for the reasons that JK Rowling suggested. Some of which have referrals to gender clinics. Yet you have posted one person’s interpretation of who is and isn’t transgender.

I stand by my posts. You don’t seem to know much about what she has said but seem very quick to demonise her.

There is no right to self determination if it affects others. There is a balancing of rights between different interest groups when that occurs.

Nice attempt to side step the limits of right to self determination.

And please dont roll out the trite mind numbing mantra of "right to exist".

If a male has a fixed belief that he is female is this factual or a delusion?

If a male has a fixed belief that he can enter what should be a female only single sex space and that it remains a female only single sex space is this factual or a delusion?

Individuals can self determinate as much as thet choose within their own self.

What they can not do and should not be allowed to do is force other ignore their own right to self determination to boster the individuals demand that her/his self image is factual.

As per above the male with a fixed belief that he can enter what should be a female only single sex space and that it remains a female only single sex space is asking for special treatment by asking to be allowed to remain and by asking that society continues to lable it as a female only single sex space.

Again

Neither. It's a subjective opinion which is the point JKR & you are missing because of the false belief that the gendered concepts of 'man' & 'woman' are only based on reproductive characteristics. Human concepts are simply human interpretations of phenomena that vary from individual to individual. They might encompass objective facts but aren't objective facts in of themselves & as such are socially constructed via societal subjective opinion.

Words having meanings
Man = adult human male
Woman = adult human female.
Therefore males can't be women.

That's not a subjective opinion. Just the way language works.

Facts are
objective, verifiable pieces of information, events, or states of affairs that can be proven true through evidence, measurement, or observation. Unlike opinions, which reflect personal beliefs or feelings, facts are independent of individual perspectives. Examples include historical events ("The Titanic sank in 1912") or scientific data ("Water freezes at 0°C").
Key Characteristics of Facts

  • Verifiable: They can be checked for accuracy using evidence or research.
  • Objective: They are not influenced by personal feelings, interpretations, or prejudice.
  • Constant: Generally true, regardless of who states them or what they believe.
  • Independent: They exist independently of knowledge or belief, such as scientific observations or historical occurrences.
Difference Between Fact and Opinion
  • Fact: "The sun is a star" - This can be scientifically proven.
  • Opinion: "The sun is too bright" - This is a personal, subjective feeling.
Why Facts Are Important Facts are essential for understanding the world, making informed decisions, and distinguishing reality from fiction. They form the basis of science, history, journalism, and law.

JKR doesn't think all people have the right to self determination so no, she doesn't really believe everybody should have the same rights.

People having the right to self determination is a separate matter to how they should be treated in terms to access to services. Different circumstances often require different treatment.

She does believe that.

She simply believes that females have the need and RIGHT to female only spaces to get undressed and for safety, privacy and dignity. That males cannot identify into another group's oppression.

Is there some reason that you don't understand or believe that the female sex needs and deserves it's HARD WON safe female only intimate single sex spaces? Well is there?
