J.K. Rowling Announces She’ll Now Be Using Her Wealth To Dismantle Trans People’s Rights Everywhere

As a woman, I find bigots and bullies a lot more worrying than people who've changed s*x. There's been an increase in attacks on butch lesbians due to a social climate that makes 'unfeminine' women fair game for violence since they might be trans. The far-right internationally have picked transphobia as another fave cause with Rowling as its patron saint.

Are you saying Rowling is a bully and a bigot? she hasnt said anything transphobic, she supports trans people, and does not support attacks against them. I don't agree with premise that butch women are being attacked because they may be trans. Another reason is they may being attacked because they don't fit in the gender stereotypes supported by the trans ideology.

Yes Rowling is a bully and a bigot. She CONSTANTLY attacks and doxxes trans people. She does not support trans people what the hell are you smoking? List ONE thing she has done to support trans people. Two cis women were forced out of the bathroom at the Liberty Hotel after a transphobe thought they were trans. Look it up. It's TERFs and transphobes kicking cis women out of bathrooms not "trans ideology" y'all are the bullies and you only hurt women. That's it.

Katelynjaew, please give an example of Rowling attacking or doxxing any trans person. Are you seriously claiming Rowling was involved in kicking cis women out any bathroom anywhere? Are you aware that "TERF" is a hate speech term of abuse for gender critical feminists invented by one particularly nasty hatemongering extremist trans rights activist? Are you aware that several gender critical feminists here in the UK have lost their jobs and receive daily death and r@pe threats from trans rights activists simply for asserting that trans women are different to biological women? Do you know that Rowling receives death and r@pe threats every day because of her support for women's rights? Can you name one single trans rights activist who has supported any of these women who have had their careers ruined and are under constant threat from the bullying trans rights activists who continue to threaten them every day?

The point about intersex people is that, by definition, have bodies that do not clearly fall into the binary categories of male and female - it's therefore not possible to clearly define them as belonging to one of those categories. Some of them are born with no reproductive tissue at all. "Estimates range from 0.018% (one in 5,500 births) to 1.7%" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intersex

There is no 3rd gamete. Every DSD occurs in males or females. You're welcome.

There is no scientific definition which definitively categorises every human being as definitively male or female. You're welcome. 😁

I think that if people are going to engage in discussion, they should always do so in a courteous and reasonable fashion. I don't that the fact there's a censorbot in operation to placate the advertisers has any bearing on anything. (upvoted the downvote, because your remark was a courteous and reasonable one which shouldn't be hidden)

Okay now reread what you wrote with “race” in place of s e x.

I'm not sure what point you are trying to make, because what i am trying to say is, it is ok for everyone to have safe spaces, whether by s*x or race or other. So you either are agreeing with me on that or you are saying we shouldn't have safe spaces for anyone?

Neither races nor sexes should have safe spaces. Unless you're looking a for a white ethnostate there little N**i. Which isn't too far off from most TERFs. Trans women do not hurt women in bathrooms men do. And there are ALREADY laws in place preventing men from going into women's bathrooms. This has nothing to do with keeping women safe.

So people from ethic minorities shouldn't have spaces just for them? I think they should if they want, as a women, in vulnerable times, like when getting dressed, i would like a safe space away from men. Is that unreasonable? You say the transwomen don't hurt women in bathrooms, men do, but how can you tell the difference between a trans woman and a man who is lying?

You are either woefully unaware or lying. REDUXX . INFO

Sera, I think that's a false equivalence. There's no such thing as "race". Issues relating to perceptions of race can all be dealt with by integrating different cultures (etc). There is such a thing as biological s*x. It's a fact that men are more of a threat to women than either women are to women or women are to men - basically because men are, on average, much stronger and more aggressive than women. Women really do sometimes need safe spaces from which biological men are excluded. The issue is: how to protect biological women from abvse while *also* protecting trans people. The recent UK supreme court judgement permits but does not require segregation based on biological s*x (while emphasising the rights of trans people under equality legislation) - and also tells off parliament for not sorting the whole mess out with new legislation when they'd been asked to.

My above point is mostly that the current situation is deeply unsatisfactory and unless it's sorted out, is going to lead to trans people being harmed unless there's quick court action taken to assert established trans rights under the Equality Act 2010 to stop the current dreadful official guidelines being widely followed - they're obviously unlawful to my mind. In the long run? We have to discuss things reasonably, bearing in mind that there's no "one size fits all" solution to any of it.
