Ok, so I know the educated classes hate us and our Dear Leader, but she's really not doing herself any favours here...

But again the reality is she is attempting to claim territory she has no authority to like the Nazis.

This sentence makes no sense grammatically, even when you put “no authority” in bold. Can you rephrase to readable English please?

So now your take is “she doesn’t have authority to criticise WPATH, the Nazis didn’t have authority to take Stalingrad, ergo she’s a Nazi”?

It gets wilder and wilder 😵‍💫

So now your take is “she doesn’t have authority to criticise WPATH, the Nazis didn’t have authority to take Stalingrad, ergo she’s a Nazi”?

Seriously? Ergo she is the aggressor.

Do you genuinely believe WPATH is untouchable? 😵‍💫😵‍💫

No. What I believe is babbling biddies aren't qualified to point fingers.

TRAs are on the side of nazis. With their silencing of people, their medical experiments on children. WPATH/Nazis were defeated by the good people which is our side. WPATH is the nazis. And they lost.

With their silencing of people

Like JKR the billionaire does with her lawyers?

Oh, you mean calling the aggressors to justice with her own money? Yep. You defend the aggressors. She is on the side of goodness. Even if you are deluded to think the ones taking away women and girls sex based rights are the 'good guys'.

'biddies'.

Since you're on a woman-hating, misogynist sexist roll, why not chuck in 'hysteria', 'witch', 'hag' and the c word as well.

'babbling biddies'

the predictability is strong in this one

RedToothBrush · 22/06/2026 08:37

EmilyinEverton · 22/06/2026 02:07

The thread is about JKR. Try & keep up.

I thought it was about whatabouttery and the vilification of JKR and the monumental hypocrisy of TRAs including their inability to look in the mirror. Like vampires they can only live through feeding off JKR. Without her they do not have a pantomime villain to declare their persecution. They have to make her into a demon so they can squeal about literal genocide and a trans Holocaust. Throwing all this stuff about what about Israel into the pot is just as bad tbh.

It's all really rather sick.

"If I were to remain silent, I'd be guilty of complicity."

-Albert Einstein

This isn't about a trivial issue like toilet etiquette but a genocide.

Populations suffering from genocide do not usually increase, as the Palestian population had since October 7th.

People commiting genocide do not tend to pause their activities to vaccinate children against polio.

You might want to look at the proportion of non-combatant casualties in Gaza and compare that to other cases of urban warfare around the world. And perhaps consider why Hamas spent a fortune on building tunnels and nothing on air raid shelters. And why it chose to embed itself in schools and hospitals.

The reason Israeli civilian casualties are so low isn't because Israel isn't under regular rocket attacks. It's because its because its government protects its people.

But I'm just a babbling biddy, so what do I know?

I'm glad to see we have the old 'sexist insult paired with derogatory term for women's speech' running as standard on here. It's like slipping into a comfortable pair of shoes.

Harpy is my chosen epithet of the week.

Are we doing 'screeching', 'spewing' or 'frothing' today, has anyone said?

Oh for goodness sake, are you still at it? Please, move on. Your stance is just plain daft. And the discussion about celery was far more sensible. Women will not surrender their rights, just like the Russians would not surrender Stalingrad. And celery is great in spag bol.

Celery is essential in bolognese. Spaghetti not so much. I think rigatoni is better. Or, in a pinch, penne.

As for being unqualified to criticise WPATH, there's been plenty of that coming from in house.

India Willoughby called us all Biddies very recently.

Genocide is defined as the intentional destruction, in whole or in part, of a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group so whether a population is increasing or not is irrelevant.

You might want to look at the proportion of non-combatant casualties in Gaza and compare that to other cases of urban warfare around the world.

Irrelevant. Israels leaders openly bragged about their intentions to commit genocide & followed up on them.

And perhaps consider why Hamas spent a fortune on building tunnels and nothing on air raid shelters. And why it chose to embed itself in schools and hospitals.

Irrelevant to whether genocide is being committed.

The reason Israeli civilian casualties are so low isn't because Israel isn't under regular rocket attacks. It's because its because its government protects its people.

Like they did by effectively enabling the massacre on10/7?

"women's speech"

That's unqualified speech. There, fixed it for you. Cry bulling 'sexism' won't change that.

The obsession with JKR and holding her to a standard that's fucking ridiculous and not comparable to anyone else is hilarious.

You may as well call her Queen. You'd implode without having a villain in your own self created drama. Just so you can treat and make yourself look like a hero/victim with your virtue signalling nonsense.

The hypocrisy is extraordinary.

It's a film. Some numpty will always be along with a bunch of conspiracy theories about particularly successful franchises. Or write some bullshit third rate fanfic because they like to shit on the author because of their own sense of self importance.

Retaining creative control doesn't mean super human ability to spot every possible interpretation and to be ridiculously politically correct to the point of blandness and erasing every possible representation that someone might find even the teenyweeniest bit offensive.

The baddies in films have long been massive stereotypes which reflect an era. The current era seems to be lots of British Baddies (which is also a great thing and reflective of the sheer number of good British actors who can pull in a box office) but we've had play of Russian baddies, the East Asian baddies, Middle Eastern baddies, German baddies. We are also getting lots of American baddies too.

There is no getting it right tbh. Unless you get rid of everyone a bit mean in a film. And by that I mean even Disney fails. We just would have beginning where there were already living happily ever after.

It is flaming ridiculous. And impossible.

Not hard to see where she got the inspiration for the Pen of Justice in The Ink Black Heart is it!

Although I feel it was rather better written than most of these.

Bridget. Female, powerful, strong. No wonder the sillier men are scared of her. They always were, remember how Dermot McMurrough silenced her successor 6 centuries later.

https://www.enjoy-irish-culture.com/dermot-macmurrough.html

The same thing is still being used to silence women and shock and terrify their supporters, all over the world.

Proud to be a Biddy.

Proud to not need qualifications to speak.

Cos playing the victim again? No one said you can't speak, just that the unqualified can't be expected to be taken seriously.

So now your take is “she doesn’t have authority to criticise WPATH, the Nazis didn’t have authority to take Stalingrad, ergo she’s a Nazi”?

And you think this is better?😂😂

But you must think they’re the same thing or how do you conclude she’s a Nazi?😵‍💫

It’s almost like none of your reasoning makes sense…
