Rowling, who has made anti-trans comments in the past,and later argued that discussion of gender identity invalidated biological sex.

5000 years ago I wonder if humans ever thought they would be having this conversation of a gray area when it came to gender. When did it become a non-normal to say there's just two genders; male and female? When we talk about our dogs it's either a male dog or a female dog.

he’s wrong. And they’re not. They’re a man who thinks they’re a woman.If trans women are women then they should be afforded the same rights as women. So that means allowing them to compete in women’s sports, use women’s toilets, go in women’s prisons etc.. let’s see how that goes

Missing the point yet again. jk_rowling was right to raise those issues. She was not negating what people identify with, just stating a truth. I have always seen her as a champion of people’s rights and diversity.

So good to see more and more people speaking up against transphobia.

Found a lovely one on Tinder for you! I jest! You can identify as cheese pasty if you want I really don't give a toss. In a biological sense of male and female a Dr can't treat a man as a woman or visa versa only socially address them as what they choose to be and that's fine!

Massivious Bellendis

A white privileged male mansplainig to women. Amazing how nobody points how ridiculous it is for a male to tell a woman what she is.

Yep he's wrong. I'm with JK all the way

I once had a penis Now I do not It got caught in a door Before falling to the floor Now I’m a lady And I call myself Hayley But really I’m just a man who got it stuck in a door

No their not a woman their a trans only two biological representation for sex male ,woman it's that simple.

A man telling a woman who woman are hmm not so sure about this.

I can imagine trannies shag him in his spare time

You can be whoever you want to be, but please don’t obligate me to change how a see you. For me genetics is genetics, your gender is biological, same as the color of your skin.

How would he know?

Are there seriously people in 2020 who care what celebrities are saying about politics, or have we all figured out that they are brands competing for attention and money? If he got backlash for this, he’d write another essay tomorrow apologising and saying he’s changed his mind.

I find Martians

Love to see his Genetics degree certificate

Simple fact: jk_rowling did NOT say trans women weren’t women. She supports them. She’s speaking scientifically about how she identifies, and a lot of people are unhappy. The takeaway here: be who you want to be but don’t expect everyone else to agree with you, even heroes.

Women with a prostate.

Call me old fashioned, but I prefer women that never had a penis.

Wrong.

Disgruntled lecturer in the middle of marking season here: 400 words is not an essay. (Also, well said Dan).

No, they are not.

Dikus begonus!

Iconic

Virtue signal man here Nothing but a virtue signal. Pathetic. Virtue signal man awwwaaaayyy

zzzzzzzzz

So, the Left now supports manspaining? And not just mansplaining, but a man telling a woman what a woman is. The circle is now complete.

Cucked

Trans women are women because they feel like they are women. They want to be women. They believe they should've been born a woman. Well, I want to be a super athlete like Michael Jordan and become the greatest basketball player of all time. That doesn't make it true.
