jk rowling and the 3 dementors

don't doesn't

I was always struck by the stance of the transwoman who won some cycle race, I think in America, who towered over the women they trounced into second and third positions...……….cycled like women that was their problem not a chance However seeing the glorious winner in a seated position couldn't help noticing they had their legs akimbo, someone should tell them...….."you may walk and talk like a woman, but you ain't sitting like one, pl...………..eese legs together, --nuts or no nuts!--"

I'm with JK on this. Women need to know there are safe spaces. That's spaces without people with willies.
I'm not sure why all this transgender issue has become so aggressively militant. Not really very feminine...
Dons tin hat and hides behind sofa.

I’ve been watching this story since it first broke.

I am definitely with Rowling on this one. I would feel very very uncomfortable in a changing room with a chap identifying as a female.

I also understand her reason and explanation of her previous marriage. I don’t (thank goodness) have that excuse, but I am still not convinced about the argument to allow these chaps into women’s space.

Jane10 It's become militant because of the testosterone.

I was going to mention testosterone but thought I'd better not risk it!!

My mother didn't menstruate from 1948 when she was 26 until she died in 2017, so apparently she wasn't a woman.

It really is about so so so much more than women’s spaces. It’s about the very concept of a woman and women’s rights.

It seems to me to be yet another example of people born male, with all their bits and pieces and, let's face it, having benefitted from male privilege, telling women what they should or should not think and accept. The aggression seems to be only in one direction, men transitioning to women not the other way round.

Wait

So it’s ok for JKR to “virtue signal” for her cause, which you agree with

But not for others, who you happen to disagree with.

It doesn't sound like virtue signalling as most would understand it.

I find the trans issues challenging, don't suppose I'm alone in that. The need to protect hard fought for women only spaces is close to my heart. I don't see the majority of trans people as posing a threat. I do feel uneasy about eg brownie and guides on holiday with their group, finding themselves sharing their bedroom or dorm with a boy who self IDs as female.

I find the term virtue signalling unhelpful and lazy. To accuse JKR of 'virtue signalling' in response to her genuinely expressed concerns is just daft.

The actors do not owe JK Rowling anything for their success.She did not write the film adaptation,produce,direct or choose the cast.

I am team Rowling on this.

If she hadn't written it we would, in all probability, never heard of these B listers

Joanne is not virtue signalling but they are.

Callistemon's right!

Just a thought but there does not seem to be many/any transmen actively campaigning for access to mens spaces or is there not MSM interest in that aspect?

I did know one transman. Nobody was in the least bothered. He wasn't very convincing as a man but he was a nice bloke and just got on with life.
He must have transitioned decades ago when it must have been harder. He was completely accepted where we worked. No fuss. No demands. He was just Sam (not his real name)

100% with Jk Rowling on this issue, needed saying !

Joanne is not virtue signalling but they are.

I did not accuse her of virtue signaling, I’m just curious why people who have opposite opinions of hers are accused of virtue signaling.

Because she has spent a large part of her life and money campaigning for wonens rights.

Interesting.
Ok.

Thanks for explaining.

The other reason in my view why it's not virtue signalling (a term I dont particularly like) is that in response to her opinion JKR has

received threats of violence, not really what tends to happen if you are 'virtue signalling'
