Those movies were better than they had any right to be, they should have made a third.

“Twitter has made everything worse.” - I mean that’s a valid point in pretty much every political/social/moral/cultural argument under the sun. 

Googling is hard.

She’s addicted to attention and accolades, and nothing she’s written since Harry Potter ended has given her that. So she’s latched on to the Terf cult because they’ll basically worship any celebrity who agrees with them (one of the many ways they’re similar to the far right.) That’s what this boils down to for her.

She clearly doesn’t understand this issue. In a pre-Twitter world, I believe it would have been possible for someone to sit her down, have a discussion with her, and get her to understand that acknowledging trans people doesn’t actually take away from her own femininity. (She thinks her rights have been infringed…

I would love to know what the “gender affirmation” equivalent to religious people psychologically torturing LGBTQIA+ folx into denying their true selves (conversion therapy) is.

First off, its not

The biggest issue I have with your characterization in the final paragraph is it entirely relies on making a lot of groundless assumptions about Rowling being “this” close to “getting” it and it simply being an issue of persistent misunderstanding. In the same breath you paint her critics as monolithic and lacking the…

Her defending Helen Joyce who casually said reduce trans population and that trans people are a burden on society is perhaps more then a dog whistle. 

I actually had to leave a FB mom group I’m in over this. They were talking about some period products maybe? I can’t remember the exact product, but on the box it mentioned like “people who menstruate” or something, and some of those women were PISSED. Like I WANT TO JUST BE CALLED A WOMAN, I’M A WOMAN, NOT A PERSON…

“It’s just a woman saying, ‘I’m a woman and I feel I’m a woman and I want to be able to say that I’m a woman.’”

Still better then Lennongrad

I’m sure they won’t be that bad. I used to live in Ringo Starr’s mini-city, and aside from having to chant “Peace and Love” every morning for several hours at gunpoint, hearing “Photograph” being played over the loudspeakers on a loop, and occasionally running out of food and water and having to kill each other to…

YeLowfoot is right!

The most infuriating part of this is that Ye is supposed to be pronounced Yay, because that’s how it’s pronounced in Kanye, but now he’s trying to leverage the pun and pronounce it how it looks it’s supposed to be pronounced anyway, matching the long e in ecosystem. Does this guy’s arrogance know no bounds?

That sounds like too much work. I’m getting more of a Jim Jones vibe, except this time, the cultists will have to shell out money for his Donda branded poison laced drink.

Give him a bit and he’ll explain that the Yecosystems are for the Jews to live in, that they're surrounded by walls and that yes, they lock from the outside. He did some research and it's actually an old Catholic tradition started by the Pope. Can't get more Christian than that.

Pitchfork had a pretty in-depth report on the victims’ experiences as well as Butler’s response. That should take care of both halves of your question. (To save you time, skip the first 7 paragraphs. The detailed accounts begin with the paragraph starting with “Lily (a pseudonym) says...”

*sad accordion sound*

Because if you can make more money opening for a band with a bigger fan base than headlining a tour why not? Probably less headaches too.
