      No! It’s even better than that! You don’t exist at all!

    “No one is actually born trans, kids just get brainwashed into it by the evil predatory transes” is just Cold War era gay panic with the label swapped out.

    When you control all the conversation normal people see and get to define all the terms then you can say any old lie and nobody can challenge you.

    So, JK, transgender both don’t exist and are caused by tiktok. You wanna think that through a bit more?

    Maybe we should think of her as a scared and uninformed muggle.

      Edit: Yes it was bad/uninformed, apologies

        You speak from transphobic pretenses. “Let kids figure it out, don’t push trans identity” The vast majority of society is cisgender, and ruthlessly opposes anything else. If anything’s being pushed on kids, it’s cisgenderism. Also, describing trans women as being “former men” is false. We never were.

            All that topped of with “I want to say her heart is in the right place”. Maybe it’s the autism, and I am misunderstanding it? but… no, someones heart is not in the right place if they are transphobic.

              I just don’t believe the world is so black and white. I try to look at the gradients best I can. Again, likely wishful/naive thinking on my part

                If you’d like to learn more about the absolutely heinous shit JK Rowling believes in and the truly vile people she happily supports, I’d suggest Shaun’s YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/@Shaun_vids

                He’s done several deep dives on these people. Maybe start with “JK Rowling’s New Friends”. The 4-part series about the BBC’s transphobia is informative too, and “Kellie Jay and the Neonazis” is about one of the absolute worst of this transphobic crew and someone JK Rowling has literally written supportive tweets about.

                I applaud your desire to see the best in people, but it’s misplaced here. JK Rowling’s heart is not in the right place.

        I know for sure that Joanne’s heart isn’t in the right place, but I think yours may be. I appreciate your willingness to admit when you’re wrong, and learn from others.

        I’ve gone through a similar journey. Realizing that I never had a daughter—he was always my son—took way too long for me to figure out.

          Probably something borderline transphobic.

          Not my intent, but sympathy for the devil can be hard to swallow I guess.
