Trans activists are obsessed with hounding JK Rowling

submitted by [deleted] from self.GenderCritical

JK Rowling done nothing but share an article about female detrans people, yet, she is being hounded for it. Yet, John Cleese the other day defended female spaces and said that they were essential for a civilized society - he is right, but the point is, the same trans activists didn't hound him and abuse him. They politley ask Steven King to say ''trans women are women''.

I'm sure there are other examples that I've missed...

It's the same with just ordinary people: men and women can say the same stuff about the trans movement, but it is always women who get harassed and abused. The misogny is so obvious.

Funny how men, even if they're 'TERFy' as all get out, get more repsect on average from TRAs. Wonder why....

"Because men are powerful and scary" would say the TRA. "Because most trancels are bio males" is my anwser. (even though bio female trancel is rising at an astounding rate don't get me wrong)

Yep. I saw some TRA respond to one of her tweets praising a child's drawing by saying "I wish you could be as kind and nice to trans people." You're not going to scare JK Rowling into agreeing with fake TRA rhetoric, get over it. I'm glad she hasn't bowed to the pressure. They are just angry because JK Rowling is completely solidified in her career, trying to 'cancel' her would do literally nothing. Instead of trying to intimidate JK Rowling into agreeing with them, TRAs should try to figure out what exactly they think they're fighting for because I don't think they even know.

They know that JK Rowling has a mass audience for her opinions.

I love how JK won’t let it go either. The torrent of abuse just proves her point- that her life has been shaped by being female. The harder the TRAs try to silence her, the more they prove her point.

I think people must know that abusing and stalking other men might end in being punched in the face. I think men might even be expected to retaliate. Nothing much happens to these people when they harass women other than hi fives from the other children in the sandbox. If Steven King wanted to, he could probably think up some really scary retaliation to trolls, so no one would want to test him.

The range and upset about how prolific she is has spiraled the TIMs out of control. When someone like JK is GC they know they are screwed, because she will use her platform to bring people down to earth. This scares TIMs and even some TIFs because if people come back down to earth then we have to examine the true extent of their mental illness, and they will have realized they wasted their entire life living a lie.

They remind me so much of the fat acceptance movement-demanding men find fat bodies attractive and recondition themselves to watch fat woman porn, ignoring the health issues associated with being overweight, and lots of online bullying of fit women or women who lose weight publicly. Both groups have people who instead of working on actual problems in their life and seeking therapy want to demand society rearrange to glorify their unhealthy and dysfunctional “identity”; people with low self esteem who can’t bare to see someone physically fit and mentally stable, or someone who doesn’t put them on a pedestal for their weight/sexuality. And I’ve BEEN obese and had to lose weight slowly and healthily while being bombarded irl with people telling me to “love yourself” by staying fat. It didn’t matter I had my own experience and opinion (being overweight was painful and uncomfortable and a symptom of mental health overeating) they wanted to tell ME what I SHOULD feel and think because of how it made them question their own health and body.
