Rowling Makes a Stand

[JadeLeader]

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

That’s ok, Emily brought enough word salad for everyone.

I'd say most people have a distaste for lives that are arranged entirely around sexual fetishes and other compulsive sexual behaviours.

Okay, then here goes:

The Nazis abused and experimented on queer people. Gender doctors abuse and experiment on queer kids. Thus, gender doctors are acting like Nazis. (Not saying they are Nazis, because that would be both ridiculous and libel. Just that they act like them in this one, particular matter.)

Nobody denies that there are some people who, for whatever reason, have adopted a 'trans' identity. In the same way people know that some people are motorbike entusiasts, or are really into cos-play and superheroes in such a way, and to such an extent, that they arrange their lives around these specific passions or hobbies. People believe, like and identify with all sorts of things. nobody denies that.

But we don't have an obsession with biological supremacy.

The complaints of woman are that men are physically stronger and psychologically more assertive (and therefore win more often) than women.

And of course you're way, way better than us at violence.

The Dunning-Kruger effect in action

OP, I’m embarrassed on your behalf😂

@EmilyinEverton GC people aren't anti trans? This is news.

And theirin lies your problem. That it is news to you just proves that you don't listen.

I don't know anyone who wants any more from trans people than that they stay out of women only spaces, out of female category sport and clubs and off women only shortlists.

At least the OP bowed out (so far) when they realised their error. Emily, on the other hand…

It’s like watching Ray Gun breakdance.

WPATH with it's very dodgy history and it's dodgy policies?

That WPATH

It’s the usual twisting of being pro women = anti trans which isn’t true.

Ironically, it’s not that binary 😂

What is it with all these posters? They almost without exception have female names as part of their user names which regular MN users don't.

I’m struggling with other people’s comprehension I think. Its absolutely clear from her words that she means that this is where the “war” about gender ideology turns. As the war by the Nazis turned at Stalingrad because the Russians dug in and defended the onslaught from the Nazis. It was the absolute turning point that defeated Hitler. Its clear what her analogy is. Gender Ideology has stretched itself too far (as the Germans did) and now the battle turns.

Keeping Up Appearances

Gender Ideology has stretched itself too far (as the Germans did) and now the battle turns.

Specific to WPATH, you’d think it had reached the point of stretching itself too far when it included a chapter on Eunuch identity written in collaboration with CSA fetishists. But no, apparently that’s still not enough for TRAs to distance themselves from WPATH. Why?

TRAs having an 'are we the baddies?' moment. OP got there. Emily is still in denial.

It is amusing.

Indeed. Perhaps because its become a religion/cult rather than a matter of personal choice. To speak against the belief system leads to heresy, hence anyone GC being a “witch”. You cannot have a rational discussion with people who are in the grip of deeply held religious views, and they will become more and more fervent to show their commitment to their faith.

Yep. And it’s never names like Maude or Maureen.

Likel this has already been pointed out, but “gender identity” is an entirely new, invented concept, with no proof it exists.

Therefore nobody in WW2 was targetting anyone on the basis of it.

The entirety of gender identity ideology is based on concepts that are invented and unfalsifiable. Rewriting history is another game to activists, who are living in n entirely invented version of the world, with no basis in reality.

It’s a fascinating social experiment, which has been ramped up so high that the implications of its relative success are as absurd as they are terrifying.

🤣 you’re not wrong

Hmm, the same JK Rowling who employed Johnny Depp despite domestic violence campaigners pleading with her not to, and even bought his old yacht.

That film had a long production period, but she wanted to keep him - and he had to be fired later anyway. Strange how she became so vocal about Dangers To Women in the aftermath.

And yes, I do know the projects she's funded. I also know how she described Scottish nationalists during Indyref, and that she makes deeply personal comments about trans people which have zero to do with women's safety.

I get she's having a lot of fun (describing asexual people as affecting false victimhood just because they didn't feel like a shag was a proper low point and she seemed to be having a riot with it) but she won't answer to her past with Depp.

I'm a survivor of DV and would never employ someone like him, guess if you're rich you can be a massive hypocrite and just make that go away.

That “Bad Writing Takes” account is such a clueless melt. Not the first time I’ve seen him beclown himself because he didn’t understand something.

It is.

So what is the point of this thread? JKR said something open to misinterpretation, therefore men are women?

Rowling did make a statement about Depp being cast in the film, I'm sure I read it at the time. This was before the trials that led to him being fired by Warner brothers anyway.
