So she turns around and misgenders the mostly female “Allure” staff as “guys”
So she turns around and misgenders the mostly female “Allure” staff as “guys”
Used to love this website - but don’t think you can call yourself anything close to a feminist website when you’re basically condoning violent threats directed at a woman.
There is something ableist about demanding everyone remember an extremely obscure preference against those of us with name remembering disabilities.
With allies like Halsey, maybe the LGBTQ community doesn’t need enemies.
She just gave birth. Is whining about her pronouns in article (which was corrected) and pretending to be done with the media really the best use of her time?
Step 1: Issue absurdly confusing edicts about what you want to be called.
No! It’s on us to read people’s minds (or deep dive their Instas) to first know what pronouns they prefer, and also to know which are to be used in different contexts.
I don’t really understand all the hate towards Rowling. As a woman who was born with a uterus and had her period for decades, I have lived the female experience. I am totally thrilled for people who are Trans and want to live authentic lives, however, I don’t understand how someone who has never been through those…
This article is disgustingly trying to downplay death threats and harassment, be the better people, not the “oh, it’s a kinda ok now”, fuck that shit.
Sounds like the author author of this hitpiece would love to be the one to deliver that pipe bomb.
Anger at Rowling is justified, but not to the extent of rape and death threats. There’s a lot of nuance to be dissected here, but ultimately all this has done is validated her existing beliefs and hardened them, while garnering her the sympathy and support of more of her ilk.
Um. What exactly is this article’s take? She got sent legitimate death threats and your opinion is, “actually that’s not bad cause they have an anime icon. JKR still bad cause TERF”? Victim blaming is not a good look regardless of stances. You may not agree with her but she did absolutely nothing wrong here and does…
That line along with the sentiment behind it is so insincere. To sum up this sneering article, which has a misleading headline by the way, J.K. Rowling is successful and wealthy so being threatened on Twitter by trolls isn’t as bad and scary as it would be for us plebes. Also, she low key kinda deserves it ,or maybe…
Let's all spiral to the bottom together then, right?
Does that mean you believe that some people deserve to be killed by other people?
Death threats are certainly alarming regardless of how they materialize,
People who make death threats are worse than people who express non-violent dumb opinions. Threatening to kill Trump voters is worse than voting for Trump (in my opinion, anyway).
Man. As someone who grew up with a father I never knew because of the disease of Schizophrenia.
The fucking naivete that the vast majority of this thread is operating under, and the writer above incorporates into their slapshod ass argument is pretty overwhelming.
Yes Yang spoke like a dumbass. No I don’t care for the…
And for those people saying “they’re just trying to ask if the school has a system in place to protect these students, not trying to hurt the guy!” They can do that without explicitly mentioning this person, by name. Hell, say “a teacher at your school used to bully me,” don’t give specifics. It puts a target on this…
I would feel great if police had carte blanche to randomly pull me over due to my previous proclivities for drunk driving thanks to some anonymous person who has had no personal interaction with me in the past decade informing them I used to do this ten years ago. Fuck the fact that I’ve been completely sober for 9+…
