JK Rowling signs letter on free speech that calls out cancel culture

Author JK Rowling has joined 150 high-profile figures on an open letter warning that free speech is under threat due an"intolerance of opposing views" after coming under attack for her comments about transgender issues.

The Harry Potter author, who has been accused of transphobia by LGBT activists for likening hormone treatment to gay conversion therapy and saying only women menstruate, joined 150 academics, artists and writers who signed the letter. Other signatories on the 530-word letter published in Harper's magazine included US feminist Gloria Steinem, author Margaret Atwood and linguist Noam Chomsky.

"I think transwomen, and transpeople in general, show everyone that you can define what it means to be a man or woman on your own terms. A lot of what feminism is about is moving outside of roles and moving outside of expectations... to live a more authentic life."-

So you can be intolerant of people and that’s cool fuck em but being intolerant of someone’s views? The libs get mad lmaoo

Where could one read this famous letter

The shout down, pile on approach to a contrary opinion is emotive & lacks positive results. Engage in debate or ppl will carry on their belief, right or wrong. civil discussion approach has disappeared. It’s a flaw of social media in particular, that can alienate ppl on the fence

One has the right to say or think whatever they want. Doesn't mean others don't have the right to disagree. Intolerance of opposing views? Absolutely - that's part and parcel of the whole free speech gig. No one has the right to a platform and we don't need to agree.

Also on that list, a guy who claims to have had sex with a dog and a dolphin

Thanks for standing up for us conservatives.

Glad to she she took the RedPill.

She could just shut up and enjoy her billions.

I'd say instead, the power of the mob & anonymity have allowed people who ordinarily shouldn't command vast numbers of people to do so. Like all power rushes & fantasies, people abuse it till it stops working.

It's funny how quick erstwhile caricature leftards like Rowling suddenly want to cancel cancel-culture after being on the receiving of the mobs attacks. And all for having an opinion that doesn't align with the prevailing groupthink.
