Why do some people view JK Rowling as transphobic?

[Backwardsbinn]

Where do people get the idea that JK Rowling is transphobic from? Where? I’m having this argument with an acquaintance who tells me she’s the most transphobic person on earth but cannot point to one single thing that she’s done or said that’s transphobic. Is this the widest held totally bullshit view ever?

She absolutely meant owls should be burned, the hooting wankers.

Oh come on Marie she's an evil bigot witch responsible for all the ills in the world

she clearly meant live owls, live dogs and only didn't add kittens and children because she ran out of characters!

hang on, you were meant to be providing a direct quote to prove her 'transphobia'. you know that post doesn't reference trans issues at all right? it relates to her own attempted cancellation

Why does JKR hate owls?

Who doesn’t!?

There is no end to the crimes for which she is responsible. Burning owls, kittens and children and I know for A FACT that she's responsible for the death of my lavender plant. Last year it was my violas that met a terrible end nothing to do with me not watering them in hot weather so the dreadful woman is clearly just working her murderous ways through my plants.

Traumatised, I am. TRAUMATISED.

'Hooting wankers!' 😆

The sad tale of the death of your lavender plant at the hands of the outrageous plant murderer made me think of this thread - www.mumsnet.com/talk/womens_rights/4445763-all-the-bad-things-jkr-has-done-a-history?page=1

I offered you a chance to provide what it is you disagree with regarding JKR (and the majority posters on here) views, but you said “no thanks”. It was a perfect opportunity to give the other POV but you didn’t fancy it so I’m puzzled as to why you are mentioning it now. And still no proof of her transphobia I see.

And it’s not a trans obsession, it’s a male in female singie sex spaces obsession. I don’t understand why every woman isn’t obsessed with it.

As a side note, everything is far too dry and tinderboxy to have a fire right now. So, sadly, I won't be able to burn any owl effigies tonight.

@Tzika OMG, your latest offering has given me the best laugh today.

are you really so lacking in understanding humour?

I feel sad for you (well almost)

Bet JKR will though, because she’s evil.

So 14 pages in and the only thing the TRAs can pin on JKR is that she describes scientific reality and some people find scientific reality cruel? Is that where we’re at? The TRAs are abso-fucking-lutely mental aren’t they? Someone told them JKR was ‘transphobic’ and they’re happy to spout that as gospel without checking for half a mo to find out whether it’s actually true?

Well, we know who to blame if the whole bloody UK goes up in smoke.

Oh and the Eugenics.

Or was that another thread? 🤔

Amazing what GIFs exist in the MN options.

She'll be arrested under hoot crime legislation.

Am I the only one who got the emergency alert from JKR warning us to stop burning owls due to the risk of wildfires

I’m sure there’s a joke in there somewhere about hot dogs too.

Oi you, apologise for calling my bird a hooting wanker!

Amnesty International thought it was.
Buy they also think men can become women so...🤷🏼‍♀️

Fireproof owl is not so graceful.

Literal lol

Every time I think Reddit has sent over their finest and most erudite minds, it turns out that they have more on the subs bench.

I can only assume that the latest ones are concussion subs, but failed to notice that they are supposed to replace the concussed people, not be them.

I'm sure it's her fault that it hasn't rained here for 4 months and my garden is dying. She's probably responsible for the fires too. And all the dead bees. And - oh - just everything really
