I always wonder what anyone has against JKR. She's given millions to charity and I've never yet found one person who can actually quote one bad/transphobic thing she's said. Maybe because there. isn't. one. Criticise her writing if it isn't to your taste, but to dislike a person, give reasons, especially if you have no personal contact or knowledge of said person.
Good post Rosie51 with some excellent points.
I wouldn’t dare ask that, but perhaps you haven’t been warned.
I am still waiting to hear what JKR is supposed to have said that justifies the death threats and attempts at cancellation.
Saying that anyone who holds the opinion that people cannot change sex deserves to be threatened not only contravenes the law, as that belief is protected in law, but also shows a lack of belief in freedom of speech and thought. Citing Putin to back up one's belief consolidates the belief that thoughts and beliefs should be controlled.
Regardless of the politics of the above, it would be great to see what it is that JKR has said that has so upset the 'trans allies' on this thread. It won't happen, as it never does. It is one of the 'demands' (along with what is a woman' and 'how does someone know that they are the 'wrong' sex' that underpins their point of view (or would underpin an understanding of how it works, if only we were told what it is).
It is part of the 'through the looking glass' experience of believing that sex is immutable that we are told we are discriminatory, transphobic, Nazi, racist, homophobic and more, but not what it is that we are disagreeing with, or why it is that our most noteworthy and bravest ally has done so wrong.
A direct question to the so-called 'trans 'allies' - do you never ask yourselves why you think as you do when you can't answer these basic questions, or are you happy to belittle, insult and sneer at others based on a 'feeling'? Or do you know the answers but not want to share them for some reason?
Volver's link doesn't work for me, either.
