She’s hardly far left.
Being far left doesn't mean its rubbish. Being one of JK Rowlings post Harry Potter works might though.
The name is too close to Sleepy Hollow's Ichabod Crane, me thinks.
Great. Now she has another platform to post transphobic rubbish.
What 'transphobic' statements has she made? I didn't know that she had
here is a somewhat measured article
https://www.vice.com/en_au/article/pkeynz/jk-rowlings-transp…mt 2 cents, she played in the victim olympics, no surprise somewhere along the line she was marked as an oppressor.
OK interesting, will read thanks
She tweeted support for a researcher of a Thinktank who had lost her job for making anti-Trans tweets like “Men cannot change into women.”
She appears to over-reach her position as an author, issuing dictates like that.
Kind of like she has mild megalomania. Did not know. Cheers
Basically, she is of the opinion that womanhood is for women.
Trans women ARE women. She is NOT of this opinion.
So like how motherhood is only for biological (and not adaptive) mothers? :)
/s
@Manny Calavera: But you dont go around saying adaptive mothers aren't real mothers would you?
Nor do you refuse to refer to them as "mothers" in a day to day context. (I hope)
@Talsek: We’re getting sidetracked here.
The issue is, you have a bunch of women who feel that blokes are busy interloping because they can’t hack it as blokes.
That weightlifting not fellow comes to mind.
@Manny Calavera: But this was exactly the point I'm trying to make.
You respect and treat adaptive mothers as "mothers" despite them having no biological basis for being one. They act like one,look like one,fulfil the social role of one so you call them one.
But somehow for trans women,despite them acting like,looking like and living their life as women you feel it's ok to not call them a woman. In fact,you seem to condone denying them of this basic courtesy and would rather mention their biological sex at every opportunity.
Imagine if you went around telling every adaptive family you knew they aren't a real family (: . Same deal
No one is denying biology exists but that kind of behaviour is degrading and unnecessary. Dont see how it's anyone's business unless you're their doctor.
Reading an unedited stream of conciousness from JKR sounds like a terrible time, whether it's politicial or not.
Jk Rowling politics? Nah, I’ll avoid this far left rubbish thanks.
