The principles of Gender Self-ID are irrelevant, frankly. The notion that people are waiting to have the legal standing to attack people in bathrooms is utterly absurd.

I bet there are pearl-clutching conservatives who once denounced her for promoting Satanic witchcraft to children who will now throw buckets of money at her for being openly transphobic.

I tell ya, if there’s ONE thing I’ve learned in my several decades on this planet, it’s not to judge other folks’ experience of THEMSELVES.

You think you’re gay? Then you’re gay! You think you’re trans? Then you’re trans!

Why does anyone else think their OPINION matters more than yourself?

ETA: I don’t care where you…

Christ, what is up with rich British white people and going full TERF for no reason. The bathroom argument. Really? Is that where she’s going now? 

Her insistence that she actually deeply cares about the safety and wellbeing of trans women is so galling. All of this disgusting rhetoric comes from a place of utter hatred, so at least own up to it and stop pretending you care about the lives of the people you’re actively endangering by spouting this bullshit. 

Mumsnet has a lot to answer for

And if a predator is going to attack you in the bathroom, first they’re going to get a legal certificate that says they can be in that bathroom because they would never just...break the law.

It’s absolutely disgusting that predatory men are able take advantage of our famously tolerant attitude toward trans people to enter women’s bathrooms and prey on little girls. They should be using the men's room and preying on little boys, as God intended. You'd think I'd be more interested in tackling child…

Tolkien had the good sense to put all the racism and monarchism and sexism right there on the page.

As someone with no attachment to the series, I had it in the back of my mind as something I’d experience along with my kids. But I have a sneaking suspicion that the cultural footprint of Harry Potter is shrinking by the day. So we'll see how this pans out - they may be much more interested in the Bobbsey Twins or…

You heard her, folks. She’s not intimidated. Unload.

My hot take on this - if you viewpoint aligns with the Trump administration (who have done everything they can to dismantle trans rights, including a recent judgement by AG Barr), then that’s probably a sign you’re doing something horribly, horribly wrong.

I noticed she specifically refers to this as a debate, as if the bigoted cis-woman in her mid-50s, who clearly is extremely uninformed about the topic, should be informing us all about how the matter should be settled. This isn’t a debate you fucking herb, it’s a chance for you to learn empathy and acceptance for a…

I remember walking into a book store in the late nineties and seeing a display for one of the early Potter books. They were pushing the book hard and, as this was when you could still meet an adult who only read YA and kids books, I picked it up out of curiosity and skimmed through a few pages. All I could think was,…

So we’re basically finding out that she’s a female Orson Scott Card. Great.

I’ve seen idiots with the take that people’s aggressive replies to Rowling somehow prove the toxicity of the trans movement. “She made her point calmly,” they like to point out, “and in turn people told her to fuck off and called her names.”

Watching this brouhaha play out has made me very glad that I never got into Harry Potter stuff, because I’m sure it must be frustrating for people to watch a literary hero of theirs self-immolate due to bigotry.

When you throw open the doors of bathrooms and changing rooms to any man who believes or feels he’s a woman (...) then you open the door to any and all men who wish to come inside.

Holy crap. The fucking bathroom argument? How much of this shit does she get to spew before publishers and Warner Brothers cut ties with this transphobe?
