Gender is a social construct - a load of restrictive, stereotypical nonsense. A woman is not an “identity” - we are our sex and the experiences that come with living as female in this world. Changing rooms, toilets etc are divided on the basis of our biological sex. I expect to be able to go into a female changing room and to be only with other women. A transwoman is not a woman and should not be in female only spaces.
Trans activism is literally based on gender stereotypes. You can only be a gender stereotype because, newsflash, if you are not a particular sex, you don't know what it is like to be a particular sex, outside of gender stereotyped behaviour. You do not know what it feels like to start your periods or grow breasts or give birth or go through the menopause. I have no idea what it is like to have an erection. I still do not know this when I wear trousers.
Has any trans person actually been murdered in the street due to JK’s rhetoric?
Those are also the type I have issues with... And also men transitioning to women believing they should be allowed to compete in the woman's section of sports. I disagree with that a lot because they are built so differently genetically. Just because they've transitioned, doesn't take away the fact that their body is built so much stronger, etc.
100% agree, particularly the last line:
Oh yes I as a "breeder" am just drowning in privilege. That time as a little girl I was sexually abused, privilege. That time I was date raped in college, privilege. When these assaults were reported, being questioned about what I did to bring them on myself, privilege. Everytime some bloke has staggered up to me to make sexual comments, privilege. Not being able to safely walk about on my own in certain areas, privilege. The fact I earn less than men for the same job, privilege. Diseases that I am at risk of because of my biological sex, privilege. The fact I am risk physically as I am smaller and weaker than most as a 5 ft 3 woman, privilege. The fact is was not inlegal for a man to rape his wife until 1992 in my country, the first prosecution in 2002, privilege. Now my country , Ireland, has made it legal for any bloke to say he is a woman,, no hormones no surgery no questions asked with two of these men housed in a womans prison today, privilege. The highest rate of VAT applied to feminine hygiene products, privilege. Paying 55 quid for a dr visit to get a prescription (30 quid for the pills for three months)for the pill so I can work and live without crippling period pain, privilege. Meanwhile limpdick Larry can get his Viagra over the counter at Boots so he can leave his wife dissatisfied on the cheap. The fact that our health service removed the word "woman" from cervical cancer screening literature while still covering up the deaths of women told they were cancer free when in fact they were given the wrong test results, privilege. The fact is these Berks haven't got the testicular fortitude to be a woman in this world. GTFO with their nonsense of "cis privilege"
And the sad part is that, rather than focusing on things such as having safe pathways out of prostitution and addiction, getting better education and housing opportunities (especially in South America), fighting to get rid of pimps and condemning male violence against trans women, your average UK TRA would rather just sit around all day tweeting at JK.
Me too. It absolutely needed to be said. I know some people think this has come out of nowhere and that she’s stirring the pot, but that’s not the case at all. Women have been asking to be heard on this matter for at least five years now to no avail (I say that as that’s when I started hearing about it all). This is not an ‘attack’. It’s is a request that women’s rights and spaces are not put at risk. Anyone who thinks her statement is hateful obviously hasn’t read it properly or at all.Love JK Rowling for fighting the fight
See, I see things as the other way around. TRAs constantly scream about genitals. They demand to know if a straight woman is only attracted to a penis, or a lesbian only attracted to a vagina. Genitals are not the only part of the make up of someone's sex. Your entire physical makeup is what makes you a woman or a man, not liking makeup or high heels or any of that other superficial bullshit. Trans people are the ultimate "victims" screaming yet again that everyone wants them dead, calling women disgusting vulgar names. The aggression you see them spout towards women (never men) is appalling. As soon as someone challenges a TRA, THEY victimise THEMSELVES. Nobody wants them dead, just not everyone wants to go along with their delusions and for some reason they think they're the same thing.
Are you female or a man masquerading as a woman? I ask because it does make a difference. At the moment there is a war on women and that affects every woman. Women being female that is.
It also doesn’t matter because it’s a made-up concept. There’s no such thing as “proof of trans”. It’s just nonsense in somebody’s head. Sex isn’t. Sex is real.
No one with a penis should be in a woman only space. Women, not people, give birth. Breast feeding is not chest feeding. A female who is a rape victim should not be counselled by a man claiming he is a woman at a rape crisis centre, nor should she be compelled to use female pronouns in court should her rapist decide to identify as a woman before his trial. A man identifying as a woman should not be able to smash records in women’s sport. A child who was indecently exposed to by a man in a female changing room at a spa was told it was rude to look at people’s genitals, women of all ages and beliefs should not not have to receive intimate care from a trans woman instead of a woman. And a pfile who raped a German Shepherd should not then say he is a woman and that crime be reported and recorded as being committed by a woman. All of these things and many, many similar and more are happening. Women are being pilloried for speaking up or objecting. Does that answer your question? I have one for you- do you support the above because I truly can not see how any one who is not perverted would.
So why come back.I think this is the first thread I've read on Tattle that are praising the person instead of bashing them
Although I dislike JK Rowling for her shitty comments over the years so don't think this is the thread for me
If JKR was as petty as me, she’d write one more HP book with Harry, Hermione and Ron which would be guaranteed to be turned into a film, stay completely silent on it until they tweeted how looking forward they were to be reprising the roles and then publicly humiliate them and ask them who on earth told them they were involved in it and then announce the new, better actors. Fortunately JKR is far more sensible and reasonable than I am and loves her creation and respects her fans too much.Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson are both a pair of spineless idiots who bleat shit trying to stay relevant.
I sincerely hope that neither of them are ever given the opportunity to appear in any of JKs work ever again, and let's face it there are plenty of better actors out there.
I have a number of people in my social circles who identify as either non-binary or trans. Some are of the nature you describe, but one I just give up with even speaking to now, as they are of the extreme views that most on this thread are talking about. I accidentally called them “she” and although I apologised (I have grown up with them so it’s a difficult habit to get out of) they stormed off and kicked up a huge fuss, accusing me of being transphobic. The vast majority would not act this way and would understand you are trying your best, but some are absolutely exasperating to interact with when they are this extreme to jump on any minor accident as bigotry. I don’t think for one second anyone on here is disagreeing with what the vast majority of trans people believe, but rather the small minority that seem to be shouting the loudest across social media over anyone that attempts an intelligent debate.
I just love how JK refuses to back down and ‘be quiet’. What a woman
