Remember when she use to claim she was pro-trans she just didn't want them in women's spaces? Yeah that was bullshit.I remember when she liked a tweet calling trans women men in dresses and then she said it was just a "middle age moment."
That entire thing was bizarre. She went on a whole thing about how "Hermione was always black, ignore what I said in the books about her being pale, she was always black, if you think she was white you're wrong, don't quote my own text to me, she's always been black!".... instead of just saying "Hermione's race is irrelevant to the character. We've cast [name of actress] as Hermione because she's talented and I think you'll enjoy her performance of the character."
But since then she's developed an irrational hatred of men, anyone remotely male, she thinks men are biologically inclined to rape and trans women haven't been proven to not have that biological inclination (her accusation, not mine) and therefore are dangerous.
She was sexually assaulted by a male partner back before she wrote Harry Potter, which is horrible and should not have happened. Anyone doing that is scum and there is no defence for that.That is false. Trans women are over 4x more likely than their cisgender peers to experience violent victimization including sexual assault.

Her distrust of men can be seen decades ago - she used her initials in "JK Rowling" instead of her actual name because she thought boys wouldn't read a book written by a woman. She claims this was at the request of her publisher, which is weird since the UK had famous female childrens' authors long before she was born.
She's been married to a man for 23 years.Ok? She still spends every day bitching about how evil trans women are because she thinks they are men and men are bad.

Jk Rowling doesnt actually go after men, though. She just hates trans people and heavily promotes misogyny and transmisogyny.She's also friendly with people who still believe Harry Potter books are Satanic. Hate leads to strange bedfellows.
We have also seen her being friendly with a man who got in trouble over revenge porn.
"Men are bad" is a flimsy excuse people use for her to justify her hate for trans people, not an actual position she holds.Oh honey, you are way off base if you think I'm excusing her. No shit it's flimsy. She has no justification for her position.
She's also friendly with people who still believe Harry Potter books are Satanic. Hate leads to strange bedfellows.We are about a year or two away from her completely renouncing Harry Potter entirely.

"JK Rowling hates men" is the kind of dumb, unsubstantiated bullshit the right wing used to say when they thought she disagreed with them on everything. It has no real evidence to back it up, and as an explanation for her transphobia it makes no sense because she hates trans men too .

Harry was actually half blood due to his mother being muggle bornNot sure why I forgot that detail. Petunia Dursley is Harrys aunt and was obviously a muggle.
If this is about my posts, I'm not saying there's any legitimacy to her hateful views. Necromnom asked where the origin of her trans-hate comes from and I put forth what I believe is a factor of it, and I quoted what she said so others can make their own interpretation of it instead of relying on my interpretation. I disagree with her view completely and I don't believe it to be rational, but I do believe it to be her rationalisation of it.I appreciate the thoughtful response and no, I am not personally opposed to having that sort of discussion.
I believe a closed forum like CE in a topic about JK Rowling is an appropriate place to discuss it and doesn't spread her views or radicalise people into supporting her views. But I am genuinely sorry if you think discussing it is harmful or if anyone was hurt by me bringing it up. I don't intend to discuss it further than what has already been said though, reading JK Rowling's descent into madness isn't enjoyable.

There's no need to try and explain or analyze it. It's very simple. JK Rowling is bigoted against trans people, that's all there is to it.
Let's not pretend like there's some deep, introspective reason why JK's a TERF.Spot on, IMO.
She's exactly like every other celebrity that just one day makes the decision to make hating trans people her entire personality; she said some dumb boomer shit on the internet, someone called her out on it and she was FURIOUS. She's not a TERF because she was assaulted, that's an insane argument. She's a TERF because she's an entitled rich celebrity coasting purely on legacy and some pleb dare decided to criticize her.
Something about hating trans people just rots the brains of people in general on twitter. Must be because they know they're arguing nonsense on a general level and won't admit that to themselves.
"Men are bad" is a flimsy excuse people use for her to justify her hate for trans people, not an actual position she holds.It's a flimsy excuse yeah, but she genuinely hates men as well. What makes her the most dangerous is that she genuinely seems to think she's helping women
Conservative ideology literally cannot exist without an enemy, real or imagined, to hate, fear, or oppress.
Remember her Holocaust denial?Pepperidge Farm remembers.

If you keep posting in trans topics the way you do, well see about that i guess
Remember her Holocaust denial?The Jewish man she silenced for calling her out for something Germany classifies as holocaust denial does.
