Any sane person would realise that once you start getting Ben agreeing with you you have severely fucked up but of course JK is a TERF so she won't give a shit.
Not sure why Britain is being singled out here, there's going to be plenty of transphobic people all over the world, especially in certain other countries compared to Britain.
Because it's hella mainstream in the liberal/left there. the Guardian was publishing hit pieces on trans people long after most respectable news groups got a grasp on trans rights.
Mumsnet has radicalized a lot of women and transphobia is widely accepted there - even among the left.
Have a friend defending Rowling and doubling down even when other women are trying to correct her. That'll be the second person I'm cutting off this year for this kind of bullshit.
White bourgeois feminism needs to die.

The UK has a special problem with transphobia, particularly of the TERF variety, because of a website called Mumsnet that shifted the conversation there to make it seem like trans women existing is the MOST PRESSING ISSUE OF OUR TIMES, and a bunch of cis people fell for it. Here's an article that explains a bit about how the national conversation in the UK got so transphobic.
Also, trans people to JKR:
A lot of left wing circles actively practice TERFy transphobia, across several left wing politics in both Labour and the SNP, and the left wing media (like The Guardian mentioned above, and The Independent).
It's absolutely rancid and disgusting, but it's mainstream.
That's why it stands out, because it often feels like the people who are meant to be on your side are fighting you with alt-right assholes.
If you ever needed proof that she was on the wrong side of this issue...
nothing "happened", she has always been like this and the fall of blairism only made her more blatant about it
Really sucks to see how much of a piece of shit she is. Would be nice to see the HP actors speak out against her trash comments.
Edit: just saw Katie Leung's tweets and I love it.

The litmus test would be when WB decide to turn The Cursed Child into a movie. However that probably won't happen for another 5 to 8 years.
I remember being a conservative in this vein.
You live under incredible pressure to 'legalistically and philosophically' justify your visceral dislikes. You twist yourself through staggering hoops to get there, and call it mental sophistication.
Then you pull a Rowling or Jordan Peterson when criticized, and dismiss your opponents as lacking nuance and 'not having done the reading'.

It's really cute in that hashtag the amount of white women who feel under attack when a bigot who happens to be a woman is being shouted down by the rest of twitter.
I think it's mainly been me bringing up the difference in her behavior towards trans men vs trans women in this thread.
Looking over my posts, it may not always have been clear but my intent was to point out that she seems to tolerate trans men and claims it to be "support for trans people".
That is obviously not support for anyone, and I'm sorry if this upset you.
I have edited two of my posts to make this more clear. I didn't mean to make this only about trans women, as I know that trans men often don't get the same support that trans women do in many online spaces.
Really fucking gross how often shitty people try to claim they're totally supportive and love a marginalized group of people while doing absolutely fucking nothing but constantly dragging them down. Unfortunately it's incredibly effective at convincing people who aren't actually following the issues, aren't actually following the speaker's history, that they simply trust thos empty words, those lies of support.
It hasn't just been your posts but I hate singling people out. And I usually chicken out of replying in LGBT+ threads (and ended up not replying in this thread earlier) because it's pretty emotionally exhausting. But I very much appreciate your reply/correction.
I don't think she's ever explictly mentioned trans men but it's true TERFs have way more fearmongering about trans women (and non-binaries if they ever acknowledge their existence) than trans men. Her tweet throwing a fit over the phrase "people who menstruate" seems like more of an attack on trans men inclusion... but then with TERF logic she's probably hyperventilating at the idea of some organization showing support for trans women (respecting them as women even though they don't menstruate) when, like, so many cis women also don't menstruate...so then her shitty logic is also insulting cis women who don't menstruate by implying they aren't real women, lol. TERF logic so gud

He's defended transphobia previously so unsurprising. Gross.
this is why this show of support is awful, it allows some of his 5 million followers to stat having the confidence in expressing their own transphobic views.
what the hell is wrong with stupidly rich U.K. celebrities, why are they on the wrong side of this?
I bet more so called celebs will out them selves over the coming weeks to support her, why can't they just be content with being rich and leave people alone to live their lives.
I feel like this man hasn't been relevant in years, nice to see he's basically torpedo'd his chance of a comeback
I wish that were true.
I wish there would be a massive backlash against him, but I doubt it will happen.
