Counterpoint: Last Jedi is actually very good. And the criticisms held against it almost always also ring true for parts of the original trilogy and aren’t held to such standards. Such as the very harsh criticism of Poe, Finn, and Rose’s “useless” side quest in VIII it’s actually not much different than what Han,…

“Men can’t be women,” says woman who quite famously lost her shit when people didn’t accept her male disguise when writing crime novels.

Right JK has always been a TERF, she follows fellow TERFS and has retweeted them.

I’m going to take all my Harry Potter books and DVD’s and sell them. I don’t need them in my house anymore. She is a hateful bigot in myriads of ways.

She’s also a domestic abuser apologist (Johnny Depp), anti-Semitic, racist and invalidated Indigenous people with these latest movies. She is trash.

Everyone commenting that just holding this belief doesn’t constitute harassment, please read the actual ruling where the judge discusses this at length. She re-tweeted transphobic cartoons and articles for years. She misgendered her non-binary co-worker and said “in reality he is a man.” She responded to complaints…

LOL. I know people have a soft spot for those books. I like them too. But there was plenty of problematic elements included. She definitely wrote them, and was never “woke” in any way.

The important part of this judgment is not just that she HOLDS that belief, but that she ACTIVELY USES it to create “an intimidating, hostile, degrading, humiliating or offensive environment.” There are many, many pieces of evidence in the ruling showing how she has done this in ways that would make trans co-workers…

As a fellow old fart I can understand some feminist fears about losing places to speak openly, to be safe from harassment, assault, etc. However there’s extensive writing, videos, websites, and other resources that can help them engage with their uncomfortable “what if” questions and seek good faith answers. At this…

I do sort of resent phrasing this as terfs “getting” to her. This is more of a situation in which, as you point out in the article itself, the thoughts she’s been silently/carefully endorsing and then backing away from are being put out more openly.

You can’t “get” to her if this is who she’s always been. And she’s…

I recently reread Harry Potter and I forgot how fucked up the discourse around Elven slavery is in those books.

So you can make Dumbledore gay, but you can’t make him a woman.

The more I hear about Rowling, the more I wonder how much of Harry Potter was written by an editor

This is inaccurate, though. Sex is not based solely on genetics, and people who believe you cannot change your sex are not “scientifically accurate”.

Too late. She’s an asshole, and has been one for a while. This is probably not even her final asshole form.

I’m so fucking sick of this shit. Trans women die because so many people see them as men in dresses out there to trick dudes into turning gay. https://katu.com/news/local/missing-vancouver-teen-nikki-kuhnhausen-found-dead-in-remote-clark-county-location-suspect-arrested

the judgement in that maya assholes hearing was:

Why are you trying to make it out like she’s been brainwashed? Yeah, that’s how many people get bad ideas over time, and it would seem some of the older UK based people I follow are casually transphobic without prompting so are they all brain washed?

Personally, I can’t think of anything less meaningful, less special and less memorable than approaching the most important moments of your life in the exact same way as everybody else. If Overwatch is a game that both of them truly love, why is integrating it into their proposal worse than say... popping the question…

But I find it kind of sad when people anchor such an important moment to a passing fad.
