No, JK Rowling’s position is not similar to what you describe above. She doesn’t just want to acknowledge the difference (I don’t think anyone denies that trans women have a different experience to people born female...), she want to deny trans women the right to move through the world as women. She also wants it to…

Rowling has donated money to anti-trans hate groups, used her expensive lawyers to bully trans activists into silence, and spread anti-trans rhetoric so successfully that her words have been quoted by far-right politicians in both the US and UK when they’ve tried to pass anti-trans laws. The fact that she wraps her…

The most informed, even sympathetic, coverage of Joanne just might be Natalie Wynn’s video.

Yeah, I think at least part of the issue with Rowling is for some reason this seems to be the hill she wants to die on.  She won’t let it go, and each time she returns to the subject she does seem to double down on it--this wasn’t just an opinion she stated once.

Don’t forget how she also wrote an entire novel based around an anti-trans premise, under a pen name that was the same as a notorious anti-trans doctor.

This whole controversy started with a series of tweets wherein Rowling:

I’m not sure how claiming that allowing trans women to use women’s bathrooms will be dangerous to children is anything but comically obvious transphobia. 

If you read the article JK wrote about all of this, it’ll explain her views pretty well. Suffice it to say that while it starts off with some fairly moderate disagreement with certain aspects of the trans - I dunno what to even say here, trans narrative? - it gets worse as it goes on, and by the end has become…

More than anything, I just hate the fucking score, as well as the fact that this is what all Broadway shows sound like now. It’s like the cast of Glee fucked the house band of a megachurch.

I need the narrative around Platt’s casting to shift from “Is 27 too old to play a teenager?” to “You can’t play a teenager when you look like what would happen if Albert Brooks fucked one of Phil Spector’s wigs.”

I presume that because the Ghosts CC license is under “Non-Commercial, ShareALike”, that they would’ve had to clear the sample if they wanted to actually sell it. I might be wrong tho!

Wow, this article really brought out the trash. What a fun, sexy time to be a woman on the AVClub!

Wow. The most surprising thing to me about the reaction to this is how many people out there have a significantly exaggerated sense of how successful the film Reality Bites was.

Don’t shame “snitching”. Exposing criminals is in the interest of society as a whole, and we want more people to come forward, not less. Yes, we’re talking about a garbage person, but the information he provides is valuable. And there is nothing valuable, or even moral, in remaining loyal to a criminal gang. So, don't…

Your mistake is making a distinction between all these social factors you mentionnend (professions immediately being devalued in terms of prestige and remuneration once women are over-represented in them; women having to take on the majority of unpaid labour because men just won’t pull their weight, because they are…

“Well, actually....”

“too soon”
“not the right time”
“the wrong person to bring it up”
“not really the same thing”
“[systems were in place that made it difficult to impossible for her, so] she didn’t ask for more money”

Funny how some limpdick incel like you can always manage apply one of these phrases to any situation.

And of course, here comes a bunch of men telling this woman all the very reasonable reasons why she shouldn’t have what she’s asking for.

To this day, neither of them can write a lyric to save their lives. They’ll always be shit for it. In fact, I’ve worked out a formula:

Who are all you people who didn’t like Hereditary and where did you come from
