“Heated Rivalry” author Rachel Reid on J. K. Rowling - “the bar is pretty high in how evil you have to be,” “ I’m extremely the opposite of everything she believes”

[YankSplaining]

Well, this is disappointing.

”[Reid] has a keen desire not to disappoint her fans, especially when they’re sending her photos of freshly inked tattoos of her words on their skin. ‘I know of another author that a lot of people got tattoos of but then wanted them gone. Like, J. K. Rowling,’ she says. ‘The bar is pretty high for how evil you have to be, but I don’t want to let a single person down.’ I ask if she’s a TERF. ‘No, I’m extremely the opposite of everything she believes,’ she replies.”

Well, too late, she let me down. “Extremely the opposite of everything she believes,” huh? I guess Rachel Reid thinks teenage girls should be forced to undress after PE in front of naked male classmates who gawp as their dicks get hard. Or that female inmates should be locked in cells with male inmates serving time for serial rape.

I don’t expect Reid to agree with Rowling on trans issues. It’s the monstering of Rowling that I take issue with - the “evil,” and the framing of Rowling as so extreme that Reid feels the need to be extremely the opposite of everything she believes.

Edit: title should read “on how evil you have to be”

I suspect it will be happening 100,000s of times a week. Maybe the UK will add a bounty to the effort like some US states, so people can turn it into a career.

Yes. MEN'S single sex spaces. Not women's.

Personally, I think they should be public. And bring back the laugh one.

Because trans men are female and are not mocking females.
Butch women are still female. You sound homophobic. And it's clear you are all about sexist gender stereotypes of how women should look. Which is what Gender Ideology is all about. Misogynistic sexist gender stereotypes.

Wow, you must be really off with the fairies. I have never come across a single GC woman who are hostile to feminine identified behaviours/presentation. If it's by males, yeah. Because it's obviously sexist mocking us.

Are you people ever able to talk like normal human beings and not like you've put a doctoral thesis through ChatGPT? It's more than obvious those are not your own words. Why bother? It impresses no one.

Ignoring the ChatGPT word salad, the fact that some males get erections while wearing traditionally womens clothes, and the fact that some males will sexually harass/rape women and girls is enough reason to exclude them from our spaces. We make rules based on worst case scenario and the minority. We don't through our hands up and allow all males in, because 'it's only a minority'.

Conversely that gay males are less violent than lesbians might therefore be related to effeminacy.

Then we would see that reflected in the prison stats. Gay males sexually offend nowhere near the transwomen males do.

I didn't need to as that isn't relevant to the point of false stereotyping by JKR

JKR is talking about males as a whole. Males commit 98% of sexual offences (regardless of how they identify). Males are the risk group. You, are the one that is trying to segregate 1% of males, relabel them, and say that makes them no longer a threat.

Irrelevant to the point that lesbians are not representative of all women as trans women are not representative of all men.

Irrelevant to our point that transwomen are men so therefore need to stay out of female only spaces.

Irrelevant to the discussion on this thread.

The discussion of this thread is MALE vs FEMALE. That's it. It's entirely relevant. You're trying to make out a select subsection of males are less of a threat. When not only is that entirely not true, they are more of a threat as data proves, than the other 99%.

Males who sexually assault and rape are not representative of the entire sex, however, we still keep males away from females based on worst case scenario of that minority. And, of course, as you conveniently ignore, for privacy and dignity for females.

She also talks about Afghanistan and womens suffering under the Taliban.

Is that ok with you? Or do you really, really HATE women and feminists so much?

What part of incarceration rates per capita of trans do you NOT understand? You are the one grasping at straws to ignore prison data across four (4) different countries. Because it destroys completely any 'argument' you had that a subset of males are less dangerous because they wear a dress, and because "they say so".

I know what makes me a woman, and it's not a feeling.

Do you?

Extremely the opposite of JK? So a terrible, awful, no good person then, who hates charity, children, and women? Weird brag on her part.

Frankly, they seem like poorly written, trashy books anyway, and the TV show leads have zero appeal to me, so it's no skin off my nose to swerve it.

Then white women in western countries won't have any impact on Palestinian women, either. Not that you care, since you haven't said a word about Jewish women, girls and babies being raped and shot and stabbed and dragged through the streets dead by Hamas.

Lets be honest, you don't give a fuck about Gaza or women at all. It's desperate whataboutery by a misogynist who needs to find a way to attack a feminist who puts her money where her mouth is.

There is nothing 'complex' about males being stronger and bigger and more dangerous than females on the female.

We know this when we're 10 years old, for goodness sake.

And what exactly has amplifying women's voices in Gaza to westerners on twitter achieved? Have they stopped Netanyahu's war against them? No.

It's done fuck all!

Shame on you for weaponising victims of war in your misogynistic war against feminism.

It's ChatGPT word salad vomit that makes no sense.

No, in most of the world, a woman is an adult human female.

Oh we haven't had the "have you even met a transwoman" on the bingo card for a while.

The vast majority of us HAVE. Hence our experience. Meeting a transwoman is the fastest way possible to become a 'terf'. I am always both bemused and amused that you people are so naive and so lacking in experience you genuinely think we've never met a transwoman. There is no thinking going on there with you is there.

N/M

Transwomen are males with penis and testicles. They are not women, and never will be. And so the Supreme Court (not just biology) also so holds.

So you agree a male is not a woman. Good.

You can believe in whatever dangerous anti-science, flat-earther, misogynistic cult you want. You just don't have the right to breach reality and womens sex based rights to put these males in female only spaces where rape survivors and DV survivors and little girls are:

We are not concerned with that, we are concerned with men like you in our spaces when you have no right to be. The decent good transwomen don't do that. So we know you CAN use male toilets. You just want to make women feel uncomfortable.

YES! You've got it. Females are not inclusive of males. And there is a good reason why. Males do not belong in female spaces.

Finally you understand, took you long enough even for a sex denialist.
