I'm not GC and idk half of what that dude is even talking about lol. Idk if I even agree with him or not. But just briefly looking thru the thread, there are a couple points I could nitpick:

2c. And - since trans rights don't actually impinge women's rights at all - neither the character nor Rowling is materially affected by the issue.

At all? Maybe he's being hyperbolic but surely he has to recognize its more complicated than that. If trans-activism truly didn't affect women's rights at all, I doubt GC would have any issue with them.

If you want to learn what the vast majority of the Lesbian community think about trans people, I recommend following @BellaRizinti.

Why does a random twitter account represent the majority of lesbians? Doesn't seem right to me.

Izzy Rizinti is same as /u/GenderBender about transmen in this regard. They are just not compeletely honest with themselves.

She said that "I can date transwoman, but will not have sex with pre-op ones, and post-op I will have sex with minimal attention to genitals, to not trigger dysphoria, BUT I know many other lesbians who are fine with having sex with pre-op transwomen".

So she is admitting, she is not aroused by TW, which is obvious as she is a lesbian (or heavy leaning febfem), but still throwing other lesbians under the buss.

I will have sex with minimal attention to genitals

I can't take people seriously when they say stuff like this. Its just so detached from reality...

I'm curious whether people who say things like that have ever actually had sex.
