The “trans comments”:Could someone explain what's happened with JK Rowling and the trans comments shes made?
I really struggled to get my head around the facts and opinions of everything that happened last year. She's always been a huge inspiration to me
I personally can’t spot the supposed transphobia, can you? Perhaps it was the part where she said she knows some trans people, and loves them, or maybe the part where she talks about feeling empathetic towards trans women who are victims of male violence, who knows? But whatever it was, it led to this:If sex isn’t real, there’s no same-sex attraction. If sex isn’t real, the lived reality of women globally is erased. I know and love trans people, but erasing the concept of sex removes the ability of many to meaningfully discuss their lives. It isn’t hate to speak the truth.
The idea that women like me, who’ve been empathetic to trans people for decades, feeling kinship because they’re vulnerable in the same way as women—i.e., to male violence—‘hate’ trans people because they think sex is real and has lived consequences—is a nonsense.

And neither did Daniel “I am deeply sorry for the pain those comments have caused you” Radcliffe and Rupert “not an authority on the debate but silence is louder” Grint.And lady Watson NEVER said anything about these disgusting threats. Stayed silent whilst jk Rowling had to endure all of it.
Because they know they’d get crucified by the woke mob.And neither did Daniel “I am deeply sorry for the pain those comments have caused you” Radcliffe and Rupert “not an authority on the debate but silence is louder” Grint.

Thanks for clearing that up for me! I told someone that I find JKR inspirational and they bit my head off, so was a little lost! But no where does it sound like JK is transphobic.This is Jo’s essay.
J.K. Rowling Writes about Her Reasons for Speaking out on Sex and Gender Issues - J.K. Rowling
Warning: The below content is not appropriate for children. Please check with an adult before you read this page. To go back to the children’s page, please click here. This isn’t an easy piece to write, for reasons that will shortly become clear, but I know it’s time to explain myself on an...www.jkrowling.com
The reason she has been called transphobic (among many other things less pleasant) is because she asserts the importance of sex and the language used to describe women as female people and wrote about her concerns that the reality of sex - and the lived experience of women - is being erased in an effort to be “inclusive”.
I’ve read this piece many times and I still can’t find what is apparently so hateful about it.
No need for apologies at all, I only realised reading back afterwards when I put “trans comments” that it sounded sarcastic, I didn’t mean it to be at but it was too late to edit! My own defence is that I inserted it last minute in a rush too as the original post looked odd just starting with a quoteThanks for clearing that up for me! I told someone that I find JKR inspirational and they bit my head off, so was a little lost! But no where does it sound like JK is transphobic.
Also apologises in my original question where I put "trans comments", I wrote it in a bit of a rush and I realise I could of put it in a better way
Yes they are, and many, many more like them and worse.Are those tweets for real? They are disgusting.
This has gotten way out of hand now. Someone with some sense, needs to put a stop to this woke nonsense.Yes they are, and many, many more like them and worse.
This is deranged. And of course his jumper says bimbo because that's what desirable women are and this is in no way a fetish
It all starts with burning books.This is deranged. And of course his jumper says bimbo because that's what desirable women are and this is in no way a fetish
