The short version of this article: JKR exists and that’s why (and the only reason why) people across political aisles and sexual orientations are beginning to question the demands of the trans lobby. We’re going to start off by saying, with zero evidence, that she’s making the UK a hate haven, but then we’re going to drag all of Western Europe into the equation and just tack Poland and Hungary on at the end for no discernible reason.

Who knew JKR was the most powerful woman on earth, eh!

They can't understand that common sense is why people see the Trans Lobby as insane?

Maybe the organizations and individuals who promote transgender ideology don't realize how many people are bothered by it because they turn off their comments sections, limit replies and plug their ears.

I think you’ve hit the nail on the head.

I’d also add that they refuse to have any civil discussion about trans issues even though they have massive effects for 99% of the population. They’re too busy screeching transphobia to understand that the majority of people have real concerns.

Whenever someone wants discussion about the motives of the movement, they shout "NO DEBATE!", that's because they know their arguments wouldn't stand in actual fact based discussion.

I mean, did you see the White House press conference where a journalist asked Psaki what guidelines the president has in place for schools handling complaints and lawsuits in regards to trans girls competing against girls in sports? Psaki pretended she didn’t understand the very plain question, the journalist repeated it, and Psaki answer was literally just, “Trans rights are human rights.” They can’t answer basic, pertinent questions from people who are on their side let alone have conversations about peoples’ hesitancies and concerns.

Exactly! Their entire base of support is predicated on ignorance of the issues, or activists and policymakers pretending to be ignorant. I have never seen this in other activist movements. That's why I'm like 90% sure transactivism will fail. No movement totally predicated on either malice or ignorance can hold up forever.

Other examples of this are people saying "this never happens!" to cotton ceiling bullshit, or transwomen raping women in prisons or shelters, or transwomen being sex pests, or gaydens harassing gay men and being ridiculously homophobic. "This never happens" meaning they are pretending they don't see it, so they don't have to take responsibility.

But a politician replying to a straightforward, specific question about trans policy with feigned ignorance, and then a slogan/platitude is the deathwatch beetle of the trans movement.

“Trans rights are human rights.”

Since when does dictating everyone else's perception of you and demanding that they pretend to share your ideology, appropriating vulnerable groups' identity, and requiring that people be attracted to you, qualify as "human rights"?

Sounds more like trans regard it as their "human right" to deprive the rest of us (especially LGB people and women) of OUR human rights.

“Trans rights are human rights” seems to be the response to anyone saying, “Hey, wait a minute. What you’re asking for tramples on someone else’s rights.”

So this is a bit off topic, but does anyone else find this new "Trans Rights Are Human Rights" slogan of theirs kind of off putting and creepy? Like at least the "Trans Women Are Women" slogan actually means something, even if it doesn't really make sense logically when you think about it. But "Trans Rights Are Human Rights" doesn't even mean anything. Like wow, they're human rights? Gee, that's such a relief, I thought they were panda rights or fucking microbe rights or something. What the hell does that even mean?

TRAHR is a phrase that literally means nothing and yet people are spewing it out like it's a fact as clear and self-evident as "the sky is blue". It creeps me out.

Trans people (in America and other western countries) already have human rights. When you ask them what rights they don't have, they get angry and start screeching. Just asking that question gets you labeled a transphobe, and they won't give an answer.

It reminds me of the social experiment where someone walked around a college campus getting people to sign a petition to get dihydrogen monoxide banned. They got plenty of signatures. dihydrogen monoxide is another way of saying H20 - water. People are gullible and their heads are so far up their asses that most of them don't realize they are being manipulated. You imply that trans people don't have human rights, and they go "OMG! That's awful!" without sitting back to think for two seconds, "what human rights do you all not have? I know you're too stupid to figure out where to piss without making everyone around you miserable, but what else? what other rights are you missing out on? And by the way, getting to piss in the same room as the sex you wish you were is not a human right."

Meanwhile there are billions of women, children, and yes, even men around the world who really don't have human rights. Like literally people who are sold into slavery, married off as child brides, female genital mutilation (and I'll throw male circumcision in there too. A human should be allowed to chose this for himself. that should be a human right) etc etc.. But we're too busy catering to these drama queens and their delusion that they are entitled to access to any woman they want at any time they please and that is their "human right."

Legit had this argument with a friend irl a few weeks ago. In America, what legal rights don’t trans people have? Every thing they’re complaining about now is wanting privileges that step on others’ rights and autonomy.

JKR has donated so much money in charity that she lost her billionaire status.Shameless (and incredibly stupid) sycophants.

Ah yes, but has she donated it to any transwomen of colour desperately in need of bigger tiddies and a gold-lined neovagina?

I read this, and an involuntary image flashed in my head of the inside of a neo-vagina dazzled up like an inside-out disco ball.

I wish JKR sued them for libel.

May she sue them into bankruptcy one day.

I’d donate to her team of lawyers if she sued.

"Damage", yeah. Every time JKR opens her mouth, it's like the Blitz hitting London again. Oh, wait-- that's just tras screaming.

The same chemicals they gave to Alan Turing are basically the same ones being given to the next Alan Turing at Tavistock.

Or... I dunno, people are starting to grow tired of gender identity politics and transpeople calling everything transphobic?

Lol, typical of Penis News and ILGA to call people like JK Rowling a monster. She’s fairly sensible. I hope it’s true that the U.K. is standing up to the TRAs. I hope more European countries do.

By the way, don’t trust ILGA’s Rainbow Europe rankings. They put gay friendly countries like Ireland, the Netherlands and France low on the list because we don’t give enough special privileges to trans people. But what can you expect from an organisation that had to be pressured into cutting ties with NAMBLA? It would be nice if every country in Europe had the gay rights policies of Ireland and the trans policies of Hungary. Ireland has gay marriage and gay adoption, and Hungary does not recognise sex changes at all.

I was also confused about the ILGA’s Rainbow Europe rankings. Granted, I’m not a fabulously well-traveled American, but I do have a good Dutch friend irl. By all accounts, the Netherlands sounds like the opposite of homophobic. And nothing on the news about Ireland or France makes them seem like horrible places for LGB people. It just sounds like more of the “well they don’t bow to every whim of TQ so we’ll say they’re homophobic” narrative were all so sick of.

The Netherlands was the first country to legalise same sex marriage. Calling the Dutch homophobic is dumb.

You see, the criteria for how European countries are ranked is based solely on legislation and mechanisms for protection. The problem is, you get more marks for having a government-sanctioned equality body that fines anyone who criticises trans ideology or drag queen story hour, than you do for allowing gay marriage. That’s why a country like Georgia, which has no gay marriage no civil unions, could have a higher rank than a country like Iceland, which has gay marriage.

I hope I live to see the day when people realize that the opposite of homophobia isn’t a million commissions on LGBT rights and rainbows plastered everywhere. It’s just treating us like normal, boring people.

Exactly. Most of us, especially me myself, just want to be left alone.

"Significant damage" aka peak transing people to the trans cult.

You reap what you sow.

And that's not JKR's fault

The only people to blame are themselves.

Very few people gave a flying fuck about the personal (but weird) choices of trans until they started this deranged nonsense.

Would these whiners STFU? Howie it her fault about what’s happening in Central and Eastern Europe?! I just wonder how much power a single writer has over international laws vs. MANY LOBBY GROUPS?

You don’t understand. By writing one exceedingly polite essay and sending a couple of tweets, JKR has taken over the minds of all cis people. She’s running shadow governments all over Europe and is literally murdering trans women of color!!1!

(On the real, does Pink News understand how absolutely nutty they sound every time they write about JKR?)

I'd be willing to bet no.
