The problem is that Darren Merager has a history of indecent exposure, and may be using the Trans label as a protection. They legally changed their gender, but by all accounts this has been a cover for charges going back to 2003. I would post links but Kinja isn’t letting me :/

From LA Mag: Darren Agee Merager has indecency charges going back to 2003, and this point seems very suspect in light of their being upfront about being nude in the room and going into the water, and still having their penis.

J.K. Rowling never said or suggested that transgender people are just a bunch of violent men. She said, rightly so, that males who are seeking to harm other (vulnerable) males and/or females (and children, since children will generally be absorbed into female spaces, such as a male child using the ladies’ room with…

Yeah, good point. For some reason, when women disagree with the trans community (and its allies) about what gender is, it’s totally ok to threaten them with rape and death. It’s totally consistent with feminism.

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.

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…

Death threats are certainly alarming regardless of how they materialize,

Luckily most of the World agrees with her so I’m sure it’ll be a big hit , despite the woke whining. 

It is a bit weird to be attacking a left-wing feminist who grew up poor, suffered domestic abuse and gives millions to charity. It’s not her fault that adults drove her book sales because they liked the detective plots.

She doesn’t care about money. She was literally a billionaire but she gave so much away to charity that she isn’t one anymore. You have nothing to threaten her with. I reckon that upsets you even more than the stuff she said.

She’s given hundreds of millions of pounds to charity.

The number of people who care about TERFdom and Harry Potter is a rounding error on her sales. Incredibly online people, including actors, care but I’d bet 85% of people have no idea what a TERF is, let alone that JK Rowling should be driven from polite society for being one.

Exactly. Plenty of my friends, guys and girls, who are certainly more left leaning think allowing trans girls to compete against biological girls would be really unfair. We don’t have any experience competing with them, but in the high school I would’ve gone to if I didn’t move several years ago, there’s a guy who…

...and it ain’t just right-wingers FFS.

That always baffles me. We have a test case. The 1976 gold medalist in the decathalon came out a transgender 40 years later. If she transitioned in the early 70's, without hormones, she would have won 5 gold medals easily (and probably 5 more, but different weights for implements, conversion from 110HH to 100LH,…

I didn’t see it mentioned in the article, but it wasn’t really that she finished 6th, it was more that she missed her regional qualifying by two places. From that context, her argument at least makes a little more sense.

So, we’re going to have this discussion without any mention of Fallon Fox? Born biologically male and later transitioned to being a woman, who then went on become an MMA fighter competing against biological females and ended up slaughtering them. One opponent, Tamika, had a concussion and needed staples in her head…

This is the dumbest hot take I’ve seen in a while and this cluelessness over how much this kind of slogan turns off the average voter is a sure reason why legit police reform will be hard to come by.

The problem is that “refund” has been used so much to mean “eliminate”. So when someone says “Defund Planned Parenthood” both liberals and conservatives understand this to mean “remove or get rid of” or sometimes specifically “ensure it does not have the resources to be able to function”. So of course when someone…

Thank you for proving that the Senate runoff win in Georgia will be an uphill battle for those of us on the ground here. I really don’t think any progressives, including AOC, understand how easily verbiage can be weaponized by the right no matter how well-intentioned. Every single ad in Georgia for the next month and…
