I looked through the replies to her and people were screaming TERF and "transwomen are women. transwomen are women. transwomen are women."This is truly becoming a bit terrifying, isn’t it? I’m so glad JK has the balls to stand up and speak the truth, in such eloquent terms. What is happening in the world that someone can’t hear a differing opinion without branding whoever said it a TERF, bigot or [other base insult]? It’s so frustrating and saddening that there is no room for a debate on this subject which is nuanced and complex, and ultimately, any decent person broadly believes in rights for everyone.
It is all very much like Orwell's 1984 where they erase sense and repeat that "2 x 2 = 8, 2 x2 = 8" and eventually people start to believe it.
Thankfully I have always been a very headstrong person and not one for peer pressure but clearly others are susceptible to that, even friends of mine. This is not a conversation I dare to have with said friends.
