while i agree with the general sentiment not to hyperventilate over this, that it makes basically no difference if people enjoy the crappy harry potter universe or not at this point, your description of her position on the trans issue is quite the understatement:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gDKbT_l2us

she is, without a doubt, a massive, hateful bigot - not just a poor, misunderstood woman, who merely made one ever so slightly inconsiderate comment, that the evil pc crowd then jumped on trying to 'cancel' her for no good reason...


the timeline is pretty simple:

-JK rowling comes into existence, writes HP

-JK rowling spends 10 years or so retconning her own series with liberal ideas she didnt write into the book because she's a card carrying liberal

-JK rowling responds to a tweet that used the term "people who menstruate" basically saying "why cant we use women"

-trans people on twitter went wild

-JK rowling explains that her generation of feminists had to fight the social stigma of menstruation, and feels the phrasing is odd. ends the tweet by saying she supports all trans people and would march with them if their rights were under attack

-trans people on twitter seize on her feminist motivation to label her a TERF which at the time was an uptrending idea in queer spaces, continue to attack her online and make threats against her (not that she's foreign to that, Christian fundamentalists burned her books in the 90s and labeled her a satanist, surely she got death threats then, especially as she read a LOT of fanmail and responded to many people over the years)

-then over the years people "built a case", the idea she's a TERF and HATES TRANS PEOPLE just became fact. the actual words that she'd march with them meant nothing because she went on to be upset about a naked trans woman in a battered woman shelter, a cause she personally has experience with.




the contrast is pretty silly, a woman who was abused in her life physically who comes from a generation that was openly sexually harassed and shamed for menstruation has her perspective erased because she thought it was silly to use gen z PC language, all because she has money. it doesnt take long when you dig in to see people saying she's actually killing trans people with her words and causing them to be attacked.

its almost like if some group spent years attacking you, forcing you to be absent from the 20th year anniversary of your movies, forcing you to use pen names to write anything new, and forcing you off the PR tour for your new movies, while threatening your life and spamming anything you say with the accusation you're a trans murderer you'd grow resentful. and so far that resentment has manifested in a few off color tweets and 1 character from 1 book that crossdressed and killed people.

"massive hateful bigot", give me a break man lol. so much hyperbole.

https://www.jkrowling.com/opinions/j-k-rowling-writes-about-her-reasons-for-speaking-out-on-sex-and-gender-issues/

After my awesome joke on poopy (above in this thread) I just read J.K. Rowling essay about "Sex and Gender Issues":

IMHO => She's more likely "binary" because of her education and age, she's also relunctant to chemical trans "echo chamber" created by young people.
Seems she's also taking a binary feminist side, even claiming her book was made to compensate her "son of his proud father" issue.
Things are derailling on social medias, and polarization made her a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TERF .

Quote:
"
Most people probably aren’t aware – I certainly wasn’t, until I started researching this issue properly – that ten years ago, the majority of people wanting to transition to the opposite sex were male. That ratio has now reversed. The UK has experienced a 4400% increase in girls being referred for transitioning treatment. Autistic girls are hugely overrepresented in their numbers.
"

@ she can be a "bigot", butt it's not that big...

i don't think about you at all. i don't even know who you are, or why you felt the need to comment. thanks for sharing though, weirdo.

and yes, she is no ordinary, "i just don't get the whole trans issue and might say some offensive stuff" bigot, but someone who actively promotes anti-trans sentiments and who uses her massive public platform to support bigoted legislation.

Don't care if you do or don't know me, I'm just glad you continue on posting like an edgy teen. It's comedic relief. You have sirthom on one extreme end and you on the other, but really you're just the same person in front of your computer chair. Always makes for a laugh.

i grew up a massive fan of JKR, i fell out of being a fan of hers before the trans issues, and not at all due to anything trans related.

i posted a page, u posted 2 youtube videos and hyperbolic labels. no need for me to respond if u cant even point to something out of step with reality.

she was mild, got an out of line amount of criticism and threats, she got worse, and she's still fairly mild. yet she's trans public enemy #1, rather than platforms with millions of viewers that spew seriously hateful stuff (crowder, matt walsh, gavin, blaire white, etc)

The left has an odd relationship with ethical consumption and this situation is highlighting that quite strongly.

I briefly searched for JK Rowling in google. It appears she did say something that does not align with the pro-trans narrative, but I don't see anything that's massively hateful.
