So much for Rowling critics and trans allies being 'misogynists'...

reply

Wish I'd known about that in time. Someone I know wants to use Harry Potter books as centerpieces for a party.

reply

Emmie Harrison-West-Yesterday threw away her Harry Potter books.

The world as we know it has come to a halt.

reply

What a fatuous response.

Do any of the stories we post on here bring the 'world to a halt'?

reply

Certainly not. But Emmie's courage and determination inspire people around the world to stand up for what they believe in, even when the odds are stacked against them.

reply

What exactly is your issue with Emmie?

reply

in the article Emmie is angry because JK wrote

Instead, Rowling believes that trans women shouldn’t share single sex spaces – spaces they’re legally allowed to. ‘When you throw open the doors of bathrooms and changing rooms to any man who believes or feels he’s a woman – and, as I’ve said, gender confirmation certificates may now be granted without any need for surgery or hormones – then you open the door to any and all men who wish to come inside. That is the simple truth,’ she wrote.

I think Admiral Ackbar has an issue with people not agreeing with JK that men thathave just decided to identify as a woman , with no surgery or hormones , should not be using the women's bathroom .


This article is a real insight!
Its good to hear from the people who actually disagree with JK's comments and the reasons why .
prior to this we've just had all members of mc site backing JK and only guessing at what loony commie pedo lefties are upset about

Did anyone say that?
Its been pretty unclear who the critics are at all until now

I'd imagine misogynists would be right behind JKs views
not becasue misogynists hold those views specifically , but those kinda persons are usually anti LBGT etc as well

reply

May I ask, where do you stand on the issue?

If your stance is uncertain, please say so. I'm not here to judge. But I'm unclear what your position is, assuming you have one (please don't take that as an insult; it wasn't intended that way).

np,
as a straight white male ...

I have no problemn with trans people
I think a man whose transitioned to a women should be referred to as 'she' if she wants.
I do not get my panties in twist yelling "but he's a man!!! count the chromosomes!!! "
I agree with JK that there should be some distinction between original women and trans women
I think trans women should NOT be competing competitively in womens sport.
I DO NOT think that LGBTs are pedos trying to corrupt/ rape our kids and all that other paranoid deluded shit you read on the politics page!
