People on Twitter immediately called Rowling’s comments “anti-trans” and “transphobic” as transgender people, non-binary people and gender-nonconforming people can also menstruate. Rowling followed that tweet up by criticizing the idea that someone’s biological sense isn’t real.
“If sex isn’t real, there’s no same-sex attraction. If sex isn’t real, the lived reality of women globally is erased. I know and love trans people, but erasing the concept of sex removes the ability of many to meaningfully discuss their lives. It isn’t hate to speak the truth,” she wrote.
The idea that women like me, who’ve been empathetic to trans people for decades, feeling kinship because they’re vulnerable in the same way as women – ie, to male violence – ‘hate’ trans people because they think sex is real and has lived consequences – is a nonsense.She added that she respects trans people’s right to live comfortably and later struck out at people calling her a TERF, a trans-exclusionary radical feminist.
I respect every trans person’s right to live any way that feels authentic and comfortable to them. I’d march with you if you were discriminated against on the basis of being trans. At the same time, my life has been shaped by being female. I do not believe it’s hateful to say so.
People have their opinions. Her fame speaks for itself. The reason why I seldom share my thoughts.
It's not hate or antitrans. You can't force anyone to think the same way you do. And for the record, her opinions didn't hurt anyone.
Facts are anti-trans ?
So facts are anti trans?
It wasn’t anti-trans...
jk_rowling spoke the truth. It’s only controversial to people living outside reality.
Here's what you need to know: She's trash.
What a load of utter nonsense. Rowling is right of course.
Utter bollocks leave her alone
Breaking: Woman Voices Opinion. We go live to our team of outraged bearded men. After the break: temper tantrums.
hate the imperativeness of this title
she would be a lot less controversial if she just didn’t speak on the issue
There's nothing to know beyond clickbait headlines like this one and the fact that she is a woman talking about her life experiences a s a woman. No hate, no discrimination, no nothing.
Disappointing that Rowling is so unwilling to listen to the lived experience of trans people.
That the only people who are mad are mostly TRA’s that want to make it so that real Trans Women and Trans Men don’t have a single ally in the world. Nobody in the real world is pissed off about what she said. Just people on the internet who don’t exist. Carry on.
menopausePhobic too
jk_rowling is a light being and we are lucky to have her for all the gifts she has provided the humanity. End of discussion.
Which one? this one?
This magician held on to one bit of science. And it's going to be her woke death knell.
...7 people on twitter got upset and that’s Variety’s definition of “controversy”.
She's always been pro TERF.
She sucks and needs to go away
She is SYSTEMATICALLY pissing away all of the good will and hope espoused in her novels. WTF, J. K. Rowling, WTF 😮😔🤨
An actual woman takes a stand. Vagina Power!
who asked
She's a TERF, periodt.
The absolute fucking nerve of this woman to express an opinion. Especially one based on fact. The radical left will now teach her a lesson that she may only speak as long as it's approved opinions that go with the flow.
disappointed
How is she anti-trans?
thats nice but rick is still a cis white man who has a big enough platform, here are some ownvoices books by black trans authors to read
Insensitive? Yes. Transphobic? No.
Imagine disputing science
Calling someone who made a supportive but clarifying dissenting opinion 'transphobic' is the ultimate fascist move.
Transexuals have a serious mental health issue! Sex change ops need to be outlawed and these people need to get psychiatric help or a lobotomy!
Kitty Cat! if that also exists in English It is fantasy mystery story and one of the two main characters is trans.
is percy jackson the only junior fiction you people.know?
GLAAD hates straight women.
yes stan rick riordan!! he’s wonderful!! legendary!!! but i think now more than ever we need to support transgender/non-binary YA authors, especially black ones. here’s a great thread of them:
'Gryffindor is the straight white man of Hogwarts houses. Hermione? Probably a terf.' -Hannahgadsby
Neither is Rowling.
They didn’t lieeee.
Twitter needs a delay feature for verified accounts so the sender can think about what they are posting. For trolls like me, it's not necessary.
Percy Jackson is a way better series anyways. JK needs to get educated.
How is what she said A) anti-trans? And B) incorrect? Facts don’t care about your daddy issues and feelings.
EMMA WATSON WROTE HARRY POTTER YESSS
She's right so it's all good.
No one’s allowed to have an opinion or viewpoint anymore. Unless you’re completely up the ass of whatever cause is “trendy” now, you can’t have a viewpoint.🙄
Comedy Gold in the comments. Plan on spending at least an hour. It’s that good.
Should’ve signed J.K. at the end of it so maybe people wouldn’t be upset.
