Oh come on, she was obviously lying through her teeth. I appreciate that you are not just in plain denial, but you are making an active effort to see only what you want to see to confirm your bias, that the person you like so much is a good person with no ill intent towards trans people. That's simply not true. I linked up an article with a whole timeline of transphobic actions from her, did you read that up? Here is just a summary of what it's in there: "In September, Rowling “likes” a tweet linking to an opinion column by known TERF Janice Turner, which argues yet again that trans women are inherently sexual predators, referring to them as “fox[es] in a henhouse ... identify[ing] as [hens].”" "June 2020: In a tweet, Rowling mocks the trans-inclusive phrase “people who menstruate” in an article about pandemic menstrual health, implying that the phrase, meant to encompass trans men and nonbinary people, erases, overrides, or obscures the word “women.”" "Days later, Rowling produces her most overt and lengthy discussion of her views, a 3,600-word manifesto published on her website responding to “the new trans activism.” The post is replete with myths and false transphobic stereotypes, particularly revolving around the narratives that gender and biology are inextricable and that trans women are dangerous. Rowling states the movement offers “cover to predators”. She also repeatedly amplifies the alarmist, false idea that teens are transitioning as part of a social media trend, a claim based on a handful of inaccurate and shady scientific studies claiming that an outsize number of trans teens will detransition later, studies that have since been widely debunked." "December 2021: Rowling shares a Sunday Times article that mocks the Scottish police for recognizing transgender identity. In her tweet, she parodies 1984, writing, “War is Peace. Freedom is Slavery. Ignorance is Strength. The Penised Individual Who Raped You Is a Woman.”" "January 2023: Rowling posts that she is “Deeply amused by those telling me I’ve lost their admiration due to the disrespect I show violent, duplicitous rapists.”" "February 2024: Rowling donated £70,000 (about $90,000) to an anti-trans Scottish political lobby campaigning to restrict the Scottish government’s definition of “women” to cisgender women only."* "May 2024: As part of an X discussion that began with Rowling deliberately misgendering a trans soccer manager, she doubled down in response to criticism, both by claiming that trans women are “crossdressing straight men” and by comparing trans identity to cultural appropriation." And there are many, many more, just on that link alone. If you really want to "look it up" in good faith, just click on it. *Using all that money people gave her with Hogwarts Legacy sales, THAT'S why many others wanted to boycott the game. |
Oh, well perhaps you're right, lol. Jesus, she really is by definition, can't argue with that. Where's she getting her world view and data though, I wanna see that now...
