JK Rowling TERFing her legacy into the bin

[dothestrand]

The usual way of figuring out whether your opinions are right is to say "do Spiked/Unherd/The Spectator agree with me?"

Sadly I can't see them as The Transers have rendered them invisible.

I think I've found JK Rowling's new villian in her next book:

Is the dinosaur a reference to some Rowling/TERF thing, or is it just Chuck being whimsical?

Get in, that's my favourite weight for a book

A lot of Chuck's stuff is about getting pounded in the ass by various dinosaurs.

[Buelligan]

None of whom are being exploited, I hasten to add.

[Dex Sawash]

You'll want to stay out of the dinosaur thread

Tingle has managed to be on the right side of most current debates, while writing lots and lots of books about people being pounded by all manner of things. Mark Oshiro reading "Space Raptor Butt Invasion" is a good way to, er, ease yourself into his work.

I think it is impossible to be reading this sort of article in the year 2020 without feeling we are in some sort of "bad" timeline.  It's just very very odd and weird. Like 2nd tier Twilight Zone episode weird.

There's something sick about people using their status as a victim of domestic violence and sexual assault to attempt to marginalise minorities. I'm a victim of DV and SA too, as are millions of other people - so many people it's almost mundane and uninteresting. Does this mean that I can say "kick out all the Muslims," tie it to my victim status, and then condemn anyone who criticises me for ignoring and mocking the pleas of DV and SA victims?

Oh yeah, I know, I just wondered why Harriet Porber or whoever is being seduced by a dinosaur and not something more obviously Potter-inspired like a dragon or a phoenix or something.

The times still banging on on the pretend outrage over "womxn" is startling. Everyone knows that's an old rad fem trope extensively used in spoofs (like "male chauvinist pig") that is meant to remove "man" from "woman" so it isnt subordinate to it

I mean they know this, of course. Hmm pretending not to understand things. Good job if you can get it.

I always wonder how some 60 something retired guy in Guildford reacts to The Times' obsession with trans people. Feel like if you're not Extremely Online and haven't been following it you'd be completely baffled by almost everything written on the subject.

[idunnosomename]

he won't even bother reading this, it's his wife they want to get upset about it and move from "i have no problem with anyone minding their own business" to "ADULT HUMAN FEMALE"

My step-dad is being pulled into the anti-woke vortex. My mum is usually quiet and doesn't give her opinions often. But my step-dad is orbiting the Murdoch-approved centrist position as espoused by the mass media.

It's fine cos all these old duffers are going to be dead soon

One would imagine that the incidence of people unhappy with their birth gender is the same in every generation.  I really feel for all those 60 something retired people crushed by the demands of others to live out their lives unfulfilled.

This was 700 years ago.

I'll be honest and say I have on numerous occasions, imagined or wondered what it would be like to have sex as a woman, fantasised even maybe. Whether they are just intrusive thoughts or not I do not know. And, as with Kalonymous, it's hard to say whether its a latent desire for gender metamorphism or homosexuality. Some posit the idea that Kolonymous was actually a repressed homosexual and his desire to be a woman was a manifestation of this.

Yeah and thinking about people now who might feel this way, who see a world mostly getting better but who have loved ones or families radicalised by anti-trans shit. Grim. Rupert Murdoch never saw human progress he didn't want to stamp out.

My mum's 82, and not online, but is fully supportive of trans people, and thinks those who victimize them are a bunch of horrible meanies.

[Mister Six]

"Not online" might be the key factor there.

Mmm, I should look up how the numbers of self-identified LGB people have increased in the past 50 years or so. Would be a useful counterpoint to the bullshit about kids identifying as trans because it's a fad rather than because it's now becoming more widely known and socially acceptable.
