Watching JK Rowling become Delores Umbridge is a weird experience for my inner child.

The projection had to be from somewhere I suppose.

Not only is she a bigot, but a pervert as well.

Transphobes are demons, this isn't a moral position for a normal person to hold.

People who spend this much time thinking about other people's genitals are fucking weird.

She needs to go to therapy. This whole ordeal just reeks of unaddressed trauma causing massive rational blind spots.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 week ago (1 children)

What the actual fuck? Will she be the first to have it done, in that case, if invasions of privacy are suddenly okay? There's a chance, after all.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 1 week ago

For starters, I don't think billionaires spend much time in public restrooms, if any at all. Secondly, I'm certain she also doesn't want trans men using women's bathrooms either. She's trying to create a situation in which trans people can't use public restrooms, which means not being able to work, which means not being able to live. This is erasure, and she's willing to sacrifice the rights of cisgendered women to achieve it.

Already turned all the trans and Potter fans against her. Now she's gonna turn all other women against her.

When you're too stupid to take your mountains of cash and fuck off to enjoy life.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 week ago

JK Rowling doesn’t give a damn about advocating for real women issues.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 week ago (2 children)

So we have her permission to take her picture in a bathroom?

Is there any evidence of men actually pretending to be trans women so as to harass women the toilets? Or of trans woman harassing other women in the toilets? Or is this all a dream in the feverish imagination of the TERFs, who then proceed to harass trans women and cis women alike for not looking how they think a woman should look?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You can always find "a case" that they'll use to say "SEE I WARNED YOU". The point is - it is not an issue, it's a scare tactic because "the others" are scary to them. Same reason with racists and immigrants from other countries - I have heard that 4000 doctors saving lives deserve to be kicked out because there was one person from a foreign country that killed someone. Bigots don't operate on logic, facts or statistics. They find / manufacture facts that support their "view" and ignore everything else

It's all imagined. First of all, even as a cisgender man, if I had intent to perv on women in the bathroom, the acts of invasion of privacy and assault are already illegal. If I peep into your stall, touch you, harass you (sexually or otherwise), those are already crimes. And they would be crimes if I were a cisgender woman, too, or a trans man or woman, or anything else on the rainbow. Being physically in the restroom does not inherently constitute an invasion of privacy because it is still a communal area. Nor does it inherently endanger you even if I am a man. As such, should not constitute a crime in an of itself. That is particularly true when it necessarily involves legally defining a line between gendered spaces, and that line will necessarily involve invasive investigations to even begin to figure out where on the line each person entering that space "belongs".

That rolls into my second point, the notion that you will just "know" someone's sex from seeing a fully clothed person alone is a joke. There are more than a few recent examples of cis women being accused of being trans women and there are many trans men that you would be requiring to use the women's restroom that you would be absolutely certain are cis men by sight alone. Are you going to require a bouncer check ID at the door? Check out their genitals? Do a blood test? Or are we just going to police people on vibes and just absolutely hound people that do not meet your minimum requirement of "man" or "woman" (which also means the trans people that more closely resemble their cis counterparts will pass without issue, and supposedly rape everyone).

And third, there is no evidence that trans women are a danger to cis women at all, nor that any cis men are pretending to be trans women in order to gain access to bathrooms to commit crimes because... once again... they are still crimes regardless of your perceived gender. It does not help a pervert or rapist by half-assing a disguise like a cartoon character, wearing a wig and a skirt, calling yourself a "gal", and assaulting women in the restroom. He could just as easily do that without the stupid subterfuge and it would be equally as illegal.

Is there any anti-trans "argument" that doesnt make stuff up?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (4 children)

There are cases.

Trans people are people and can be abusive or assault others just like everybody else. Trans folk have to deal with more mental health issues than the average person. I’m just guessing, but it might make them more likely to be victims of violence or to abuse others.

These are just a few from the first page of DDG results.

Of course this is only anecdotal.

Bathroom restrictions don’t protect against abusers of any gender. People should feel safe using a bathroom regardless of their gender or sexuality.

Talk about spiting your face...

That's the stupidest giving thing she's said yet.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Spiting other women's faces. Her face is protected by billions. She won't suffer from this.

Give it time. That piñata still has a lot of candy left inside. I feel like she's really close to infringing on women's rights in the name of feminism in an even bigger way.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Her whole terf thing started as a mishandled defence of feminism, now it's just explicitly harming women just to hurt another group.

She's become the very thing she wanted to fight against.

This bitch needs to get a hobby lol

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 week ago

She has one. Unfortunately, it's persecuting trans people.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago

Pretty sure this is her hobby.

Why does this woman have to be such a ghoul? She has money! Just go live your life.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago

Because, she's literally a Bad Person. It's that simple, she's not being evil for any purpose, she's just evil.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The one thing I don't get about these Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminists is why they worry about toilets so much.

It's silly even historically.

We have had societies where all communal toilets were unisex without feminism (Greek, Roman), we've had societies with gender segregated toilets without feminism (Victorian Era), we've had societies with gender segregated toilets (today), so why are unisex toilets incompatible with feminism?

Honestly it makes no sense to me other than they're just panicking about penises.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 week ago

They're not even panicking about penises. They are just looking for ways to persecute trans people out of hatred and bigotry, and they'll use whatever made-up reasoning allows them to keep doing it.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 week ago

Can't you be held legally accountable for encouraging very obvious (and creepy) crime? I do hope she gets sued over that. Even if the law decided to not protect trans folk this is still definitely a crime.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I am convinced she has a closeted fetish. I mean, she thinks entirely too much about trans people and their genitals for someone who doesn't have a fetish, ya know?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

She's a regular moaning Myrtle

I didn't know that JK Rowling is an exhibitionist

*Voyeur.

We sure as shit know that fascist billionaire cockhead isn't using public shitters and hence won't herself be caught in such a situation.

Hateful bigot.

Vaginamort’s whorecrux is a toilet seat in the lesser-known Stone Minge Monument’s park lavatory. It can only be destroyed by the Lance of Whuzzaclit.

Trans women are women, and JK Rowling is the disappointment that keeps disappointing

Seriously. I think the only reason she was able to create one of the most hated characters in all of literature is that she was autobiographying at the time.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago

What a psycho bitch.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago (4 children)

Why does she even care?! I don’t even get, why we have to have gender based toilets, I mean, each toilet in the restroom has its own little private room. This is so stupid.

She's literally encouraging harassing people on toilets, now? I see absolutely no possible way this could have consequences she could have foreseen. Totally not going to end badly for anyone.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

Can’t wait til she sues another terf for photographing her while she’s taking a dump in the loo

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

Fucking nutjob.
