So now besides just offending transgender folks, she’s now pissing off people like me who have used psych meds and needed them? thanks Jo.

The thing is, after reading all that about how HR is incompetent and too cosy with management to do their job proper, that people use drinking culture as a promoted perk and as the source of gaining promotion, that victims were encouraged to remain silent is that the only thing that sets Ubisoft Toronto apart from…
Rowling has repeatedly suggested that bathroom bills will lead to more predation, which is not backed by any real data (surprise). A Republican senator cited her essay on the floor of the Senate to argue against the Equality Act.
Her essay includes almost no citations and contains demonstrably false information, such as her claim that transitioning among youth is driven by social pressure. Much like her other recent works, the writing is also shoddy.
I like how you call for adult dialogue while simultaneously implying that those of us criticizing Rowling are mindless idiots.
I understand if “no one cares why,” but I am very mystified at Ms. Rowling’s determination to die on the hill of transphobia.
So then, you don’t actually believe in free speech, then. Okely Dokely.
No, because it’s actually a quite rigorous and extended process to get hormones prescribed. You don’t just go to a doctor and say “I’ve decided to be a lady” and they write you a script. The idea that gay men and lesbians too lazy for therapy are being overprescribed gender-transitioning medications by unscrupulous…
Suggesting that trans people need conversion therapy and aligning that to you opinion that antidepressants are overprescribed is not a nuanced conversation. If you’re trying to align the use of antidepressants to a claim that trans people are really gay people who are forced to change themselves instead - JKR’s actual…
I read her essay. It was a blend of lies and logical fallacies. So very appropriate for Twitter.
Don’t even joke. If you say it three times he’ll appear and it won’t be easy to trick him into saying it backwards again.
I think we’re getting there. I’m pretty sure it’s a ‘percentage of total recent tweets’ thing, and eventually she’ll hit the Linehan Line where the non-transphobic tweets basically don’t exist.
I have trouble understanding why people have so many opinions about other people’s medical treatment. Who cares if psych meds are “over-prescribed”, unless it’s you that doesn’t need them? Why is it my business what meds trans people take? How does it hurt me if “too many” kids get ADHD meds?
(Spoiler alert, it…
People are free to publicly and loudly disagree with a transphobe. Especially the ones who made her rich and practically gave her that platform and legitimized her where she’s now voicing her dumb, illogical, and harmful ideas.
Always worth noting that, for someone who claims to be really concerned about and opposed to conversion therapy, she sure did name her mystery novel persona (Robert Galbraith) after the inventor of conversion therapy...
Given that Robert Galbraith (the real one not her pen name) invented conversion therapy just maybe.
Rowling needs to make like wizard shit and vanish
Her Twitter tagline being “Writer sometimes known as Robert Galbraith” seems like the ultimate irony, but then she herself has said in previous tweets that she experienced something like gender dysphoria at some point. We can only speculate, but maybe she belongs in the same category with Lindsey Graham and that…
