“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”

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”

Transwomen are like Oat Milk. Neither are the genuine product.

I don't believe I've ever met a trans woman who demanded to be granted access to anywhere. We were excluded and took the path of least resistance. We were excluded from manhood by men and included in womanhood by women.

You demand access to the female space and you enter despite the fact womanhood does not include you, it never has, it never, ever, ever will, and we don't want you there. And a group of handmaidens don't have the right to give away our consent.

Trans women don't feel entitled, we are women.

Edited

Transwomen are MEN. And you as a man and a male, have no right being in female spaces. That you have male entitlement and feel the entitlement to enter where you DO NOT BELONG is what demonstrates your male pattern thought process and male pattern entitlement. Actual women don't think like that. They sacrifice themselves for the many. You don't do that. You're a male through and through in thought, deed and entitlement.

Slave trade was legal in the UK until it wasn’t. Section 28 was law.

Women know who are women.

Sex realists are in the middle of a transient project to remove trans people from culture. They experienced some luck in being able to insert leadership in critical departments. With the support of religious conservatives, changes in law were won. However, the status of trans people has not changed. The status quo shall prevail eventually.

Edited

The status quo is males like you out of female spaces. And not only is that prevailing, we are winning. You will be taking your life into risk if you continue.

Women know who are women.

Precisely. That's how we know you're a man. You speak with male entitlement and not sacrifice, like women. Your posts scream man.

Yes, MALE single sex spaces. You continue to belong in male single sexed spaces. Because your sex is male. As is your attitude.

That you reduce my existence to an identity is offensive. I do not identify. I have lived more than 50 years as me. It is the only experience I have; it's the only experience shared by people I know. It's silly to tell me that I require anyone to act in any way around me, or anyone else.

You can believe anything you wish that seems enlightening. Sex realists don't require trans people in the room to do that, they accomplish quite a lot amongst themselves.

Damn right you don't have an 'identity' - although you think you do, you have a sex. And your sex is male. You're a man. Always was, always has been, always will be.

You eXisT as a male and a man.

I was merely appreciative for agreeing that men do not belong in women's spaces and that men are not women.

and then apparently a 'thank you' war progressed.

So you as a man do not belong in women's spaces.

Until sex realism, I'd never envisioned a public toilet to be a private exclusive environment.

That's because you have no idea what women do in those spaces and how vital they are for us as support, because you are not a woman. You've never had a period. You will never miscarry in the ladies, or flee there to escape a man. You have male lived experience and male socialisation through and through and that is palpable through the wording of your posts.

Btw, sex realism has existed since the dawn of time. Sex denialism has only existed for the last 15 years.

Personally, I never gave change rooms or toilets any thought. It seems bizarre that they are so suddenly political.

OF COURSE you wouldn't. Why would you? You are a male who is not fleeing from a male following you, you don't have a period flood or miscarry. You have NO lived experience with a female body, HOW COULD YOU KNOW???

Women and girls give these spaces serious thought since we are little girls.

You've just did an own goal. Your own words show you are a man who thinks like a man, who does not understand how vital these spaces are for women and girls.

PS I've screenshotted it as prove males 'don't get it'.

No one is preventing women from using women's single sex services in the UK.

Spoken like a male with no idea of female needs. If a male is in that space, females automatically can't use it. It's not safe for us.

My material reality is shaped by the people I share space with and opportunities provided to me/us. I've over 40 years to repeatedly absorb that objective interpretation of my experience does not exist within opportunities or allowances of a male person.

No, women are not props. Your material reality as a male and a man is not shaped by using women in your cosplay.

I've over 40 years to repeatedly absorb that objective interpretation of my experience does not exist within opportunities or allowances of a male person.

Please try and speak like a normal human being, not like a robot reciting an ancient English doctoral thesis. You're not impressing anyone. You're simply demonstrating dominant male language.

I don’t disagree that there is considerable interest in isolating and even removing trans people from life (In reference to reducing the number of trans people, Helen Joyce proclaimed “…two reasons – one of them is that every one of those people is a person who’s been damaged. But the second one is every one of those people is basically, you know, a huge problem to a sane world").

Removing trans people from the world will not address any of the endemic male violence against women in the world.

Many trans people won’t survive the sex realist project due to cruelty, despair and/or violence.

The world has moved forward these past few hundreds of years towards inclusion and diversity rather than insularism and biologic determinism. The UK will see trans people living as fully embodied people once again some day.

It would be good to remove the male sex entirely from society. Males like you demonstrate why that might ultimately be necessary.

Truthfully, after the last couple of years, I believe sex realists expect there to be some level of criminal enforcement requirement in the future.

There always was criminal enforcement prior to 15 years ago. Women could call the police, and the filthy males would be removed and charged with an indecency act.

It has always been the way. Lets return to that.

Women don't need to ask permission to be in women's space.

You're not a woman, you're in a space you as a male don't belong in. So yes, you as a male and man need to ask permission. That you don't see that is CLASSIC alpha male male entitlement.

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

NO! The laugh one was only ever used to bully.

Personally I think we don't need any 'reactions' at all. None.

Speak to transwomen, they said. Listen to transwomen, they said. onepostwonder is more than enough to send even the most neutral person 'terf'. Just more proof that listening to transwomen will send you 'terf'. They are their own worst enemy with their alpha male demands, rather than meek self-sacrifice that is the hallmark of being a woman.

"I've been doing it for years" and "I'm going to keep doing it anyway"

To women, these are some of the most stereotypically masculine sentiments out there.

The hyperbole was very strong last night after I decided to jump off the ferris wheel of denial.

This post has it all included the age old deflection of shaming women because they are not focused on the political agenda that the shamer wants them to be, eg. general male violence against women and girls.

It predicts deaths because women won’t affirm some male people’s identities that are not based in reality where they demand to be treated as being female people when they are not. The emotional blackmail of that statement is predictable. It is abusive though.

Then there is some lovely inspirational thinking centring male people’s dreams for the future.

All to convince people that male people can be female people
they say so and to justify their demands of accessing female single sex provisions. This hyperbole though is wild.

There is political, yes. Conceptually I experience misogynistic forces in the world and understand feminist politics behind liberation, embodiment and personhood amongst layers of other power dynamics and group-focused enculturisation.

My presence in (and to my understanding, other trans persons presence in) toilets and other single sex spaces was not elevated to the level of international culture war status until recently. My response referred to the placement of military troops at the doors of public spaces to mediate entry. Presumably they would be good at their jobs and prevent all perceived enemy incursion.

And more hyperbole with a huge dose of none of you women or girls complained before, why now? It is along the lines of 'why are the support humans complaining'?
