I read about cars. I Like looking at cars. Learning about engines.Reading about motors being used in new EVs. But, other than being safe and getting myself and daughter (+stuff) from point A to point B my automobiles performance is pretty low. I want the acceleration to merge and pass but other than some interior

Just imagine how deeply distorted your understanding must be to believe that a man determined to commit an act of violence against a woman will go to the trouble of applying for and receiving a gender certification stating that he is now legally female, instead of simply ignoring the sign on the door that says “Women”

For what, stating facts? Why does that make you mad?

This is an important point her defenders always forget.  There was no legitimate reason for Rowling to flip out over this usage other than a perceived opportunity to begin to seed her anti-trans crusade.

Yikes.

Jesus Christ, since this stupid, illogical, brainless, witless, wrongheaded, pointless, bad faith argument is rearing its ugly head once again: THE PHRASE “PEOPLE WHO MENSTRUATE” IS DOING THE EXACT OPPOSITE OF “REDUCING WOMEN DOWN TO THEIR BODILY FUNCTIONS.” TERFS ARE THE ONES TRYING TO MAKE POSSESSION OF A UTERUS A

She stated that she’s lucky no one let her transition as a teenager”
Wait, did she want to?

Not all women menstruate. Not all people who menstruate are women. The usage of the phrase “people who menstruate” that pissed Rowling off so much was in an article specifically about COVID-19 and all the potential health issues related to menstruation the pandemic exacerbated. It was not attempting to “reduce” women

bitter that she was never accepted as anything more than a children’s book writer”
Gee, sorry. Dry your tears with $100 bills.
Or I dunno, write something that’s not a children’s book about child wizards at child magic camp having child wizard hijinks.

Rowling is forever bitter that she was never accepted as anything more than a children’s book writer. I think she truly believes she deserves a Booker prize. So she lashes out at the new cultural trends, and anyone she thinks has held her back, and it’s all so pathetic how much she apparently places her own self worth

Joanne doesn’t strike me as someone who does a lot of research when writing. Her self insert character is a YouTuber, something you can’t really do as a full time job anymore unless you have a big enough audience that can land regular sponsorships and donors. Every estimate of YouTube pay on any given website is

More than that. It’s over 1200 pages long!

She actually unironically wrote a self-pitying author victim insert novel? What a fucking loser.

Rowling shared recently on The Graham Norton Show. “I said to my husband, ‘I think everyone is going to see this as a response to what happened to me,’ but it genuinely wasn’t. The first draft of the book was finished at the point certain things happened.”

“Read my new bestselling novel about how I’ve been cancelled!”

Yep. All these fuckers thinking they’re creating the modern version of The Great Gatsby (“Oh, the PAIN of living under criticism from the common rabble...”), when they’re just fucking whining.

Won’t someone think of the poor billionaires?

The problem isn’t just that her beliefs are at best ill-informed and at worst discriminatory garbage. The problem is that she seems to think continuously doubling down on it in favor of something that reads as “I’ve done my research!” is somehow different from the right-wing politicians she decries. And frankly, if

Woof, even if someone was a massive fan and thought Rowling was 100% in the right, it’s REALLY hard for me to imagine the person who is psyched to read a couple hundred pages of someone complaining about how cancel culture is actually really bad.

Rowling claiming this has nothing to do with her beliefs or how she views herself rings about as hollow as Hitler saying Mein Kampf is merely innocent writer suggestions and not any firmly held beliefs. Oh fuck off Joanne at this point your enjoying this.
