All she had to do was shut up and take her paychecks

And that just sums up the whole thing, doesn't it? How dare a woman have opinions? Doesn't she know she's meant to stand there and look appealing?

That thread is just lies, damned lies and falsehoods. Half of it is lazy guilt by association, where the only thing the other party is guilty of is being associated with her, a loop of association if you will. It's something I've seen too much of recently

What has Rowling actually done wrong?

She's associated with all these nasty people

Ok, and what have they done?

They've founded organisations/ written books that are nasty and trans exclusionary

Have you actually looked into the organisations or read the books?

No, but I know they're nasty and trans exclusionary because they're the kind of people associating with Rowling who's nasty and trans exclusionary

Yeah... Upon reading the tweets she got demonised for, I understood the whole thing was a bunch of bullshit. Everyone acts as if she wants to murder trannies, and then it turns out she just had a normal, moderate opinion on the matter. Not even anti trans.

Everything short of outright celebration and conceding to all their demands is anti trans nowadays. For years they've been saying "Well just make your own rape shelters if you don't like these ones being trans inclusive" and now that Rowling has done exactly that and set up a crisis service for women only she's still getting crucified for it

Kathleen Stock got hounded out of her job and her views are as moderate as they come. She's one of the most pragmatic voices in the whole debate, but just because she says "Look, we all know we're lying really. You might think it's a nice thing to say, but nobody believes trans women LITERALLY are women nor trans men men" that makes her an evil bigot who doesn't deserve to have a job.

almost funny how quickly things flipped for the radfems 2012-14: one day they're shutting down mixed shelters and men's campus centers with 1% the budget of the women's one and high off Tumblr fumes--nobody and I mean NOBODY was gonna stop the parthenogenic she-topia!

then a slightly different group of narcs discovers their techniques and immediately uses it against them and they're FLOORED--they were supposed to have this all to themselves!

too bad about all the men and women in actual need getting screwed over because someone at a 300-student college was upset at their dad

The whole thing is radfems getting a taste of their own medicine and it is glorious

they really had it all--rape victims to schlick to as "counselors," legal inability to rape, plush budgets, Amber Heard pulling in the big bucks, whole chaired college departments to house their glorified op-eds

then the warbling of a thousand Yanivs coming over the hill Bravehart-style on mobility scooters
