JK Rowling's 'transphobic attacks' are damaging LGBT+ rights in UK, warns report
JK Rowling and transphobic hate speech are reasons why the UK is sliding down the ILGA-Europe equality index, a new report says.

Also, if anyone wants to enlighten people, this thread has EVERY TERF POINT being applied to homosexuals. From sports to bathrooms to prisons... everything.
These 2, but specially the bottom one ... is just ... chefkiss
I mean you could literally find/replace this into an article by a modern transphobe. Also how WILD is in, in the age of anti-trans LGB Alliance types that this dick is casually throwing puberty blockers out there as the "lesser of two evils" over being just *gay*.
In news that shook no one with pair of eyes. Reuse, Re
Very true. Words do have consequences.

Thanks for sharing! Gonna give it a read. 👍
I'm sorry but 'why are lesbians supporting a woman's bill? Well - back to my research' is so funny to me.
This was basically against it: https://harpers.org/a-letter-on-justice-and-open-debate/
... and she's not the only brilliant mind who signed up.
*BUMP*
And she is back:
www.sueddeutsche.de
" A year ago, J.K. Rowling had a veritable shitstorm at her heels, including calls for boycot / canceling. Now she is back, with a new bestseller."
Acticle is behind a paywal..
BUT, so far the media in Germany did not portrait her as the offender, rather as the victim.
I mean they discussed what the discussion was about, but I did not have the impression that the media held her responsible for what she did.
And this headline does not either.
But why does the media not hold her accountable for what she did/does?
And she is back:
J.K. Rowlings erfolgreiches neues Kinderbuch
J.K. Rowling wollten viele in der Verbannung sehen. Kam anders: Sie hat ein Kinderbuch geschrieben. Und das ist jetzt schon ein Bestseller.

She was never gone. Never properly scrutinised. Never held accountable for anything. If anyone dares to say anything, it's cancelling lol.
Yeah she has never truly faced any repercussions (in fact, she is more or less still getting richer by the minute), not to mention how much people were on the defense for She-Who-Is-Known-As-A-TERF.
I will never understand how rich people always play the victim card when they are rightfully called out for their bigotry.

But it is so grating. I googled some more pieces of said news paper and the sentiment was as far as I read it:
"She is one of us"
"She just wants to be called a women"
"The new book is not good , but no TERF book either"
It makes me angry. Dear newspaper reporter , literature freelancer , whatever , she is not one of you
She is a billionaire punching down. Why is this so hard to acknowledge?
Is the sentiment thesame for other newspapers, outlets ?
"But she's made something i like, so she can't be a bad person."
I mean one of the reasons is she's literally threatened the few publications that have challenged her with legal recourse because the UK is just silly like that and she's one of the richest people alive so she can throw money at a lawyer until just about anyone is buried. Yes, a lot of people don't care about transphobia, but Rowling has financially invested in making certain that those who do care (at least in the UK) cannot easily afford to say so.
bonus spinoff
Margaret Atwood shared a TERFy article by known transphobic (good thread about the article writer's transphobic history) which includes "trans activism run amok" and ....
So if Margaret Atwood actually turns full terf and not just drunk or whatever, than.... it is a direct link to rowling stuff =/
edit:
didn't saw we already had a separate thread

Margaret Atwood seems to be going down the JK Rowling rabbit hole
A user on a Reddit thread has a summary. Kinda not surprised. Still disappointed. Lock if old.

I don't think her reputation is even tarnished for the vast majority of people. Most people still don't seem to know or care about her viewpoints.
I'm not saying it's right because it isn't, but ask the average person what TERF means and they will have no idea.

The New European wrote an article defending Rowling yesterday, another place to avoid
www.theneweuropean.co.uk
The war against JK Rowling: How one woman became a hate figure in the debate on gender and sex
The Harry Potter author has become shorthand for so-called terfdom in the increasingly bitter debate over sex, gender and trans rights. It is a story of our times.
www.theneweuropean.co.uk
I'm tired. :(
No one is denying that sex is real or male violence is real. But I of course see what they are doing there...

Supposedly Rowling was only talking about "fear of men" yet this horrible and incapacitating fear of men only impacts how she believes we should treat trans women. It certainly didn't stop her from marrying a man a second time. Weird how selectively it comes up.
Why do so many people and places keep defending Rowling. She doesn't need defending. She has money and power. She isn't going anywhere.
I guess for the clicks or something. I don't get it.

I liked The New European.
I'm not about to keep supporting a publication that throws the trans community to the wolves.
They are gone
The money and power is exactly why. Any publications that went against her were hit with legal threats from her.
She didn't have a problem with her address being public in a tour guide but now it's an issue because it involves trans people
Indeed. There's a damn wikipedia article on her house
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killiechassie
It is absolutely trivial to plug that name into Google Maps and find it. It's completely public!
TERFs all hyped up on twitter about 3 people taking pictures at a literal fucking landmark location as "doxxing", all the while actually harrassing those 3 individuals off of twitter and laughing at them protecting their accounts thanks to JK weaponizing her massive platform against them.
She always seems to do this shit following any period of trans recognition, like the last time she went off during Pride.

Of course she's leaning again into that fucking awful "trans people are the real bullies" narrative that tepid "both sides" transphobic media eat up.
I read a great article about that and fucking Chapelle last week :
Bolded mine because that one part is so fucking infuriating and says it all.

Dave Chappelle's "Some Of My Best Friends Are Trans" Story Doesn't Hold Up
The comedian says SJWs bullied a trans woman into suicide. The evidence says otherwise.

100%.
Every time trans activists have something important to talk about, it has to instead be all about how TERFs are the real victims.
Oh sorry I didn't even realize JK Rowling herself broadcast their individual profiles directly to her 14 million followers, and her TERF supporters have been following suit.
Sad to see Contrapoints sticking up for this dishonest framing as well.

There's a fucking wikipedia article about your house, Rowling. Literally anyone can find out where you live in 5 seconds thanks to Google. Your address is as public as it gets. Why is the picture a problem now? Oh wait 🙄
This shit is so tiresome and unnecessary.

Fuck this person. I swear, bad take after bad take. But the next video? We are told to keep it civil and not to derail it with the fact that they supported true scum fools.
Thankfully there are plenty of others in the trans community. Still frustrated.. that's all -_-
JKR routinely misrepresents everything in a calculated attempt to make herself look like a victim and using that to further her transphobic ideology. It's fucking maddening to see how people keep falling for it.
3 people take pictures with rather tame signs supporting trans rights at the same place countless Harry Potter stans have done for decades and JKR uses this as an opportunity to conflate their small protest with zero following and mixing that with broader harassment and death threats, while publicly pointing out these three individuals as the face of that so her millions of fans can harass them off the platform.
