I always wanted to get into fictional writing but never thought I was smart enough for it. I constantly psyched myself out. After seeing JKR's tweets, I now see intelligence was never a requirement.Writing only really requires creativity and dedication.
Is that a fresh tweet? Holy shit.The tweet may be fresh, but the take contained within the tweet is old and rancid as fuck
o_oOf course she's at that point now.

It's kinda funny how she named the most prominent black guy in the series "Shacklebolt".Wondering when people were going to point this out. Or about how the only Irish guy's name is Seamus Finnegan and his primary character flaw is that he frequently blows himself up.
There was also the time Lavender Brown was initially cast by a black girl in the early movies and as soon as she got more involved in the plot (in HBP) she was recast a white girl, but that's more on the casting dopes than Rowling.
Or that the Chinese girl's full name might as well be Chinese Last Name Chinese Last Name.

She's gone terminally online, her obsession with Twitter has begun to define her
How does someone so successful end up acting like such a loser
Im sure its old news I just wasnt aware of but I just learned of the male pseudonym she uses for some of her books. Im curious, is this just a bit of hypocrisy or does she use it ironically as part of her terf schtick?Using her initials was also a way to hide her gender in the early days. She than used the Robert Galbraith name in order for people to take new series seriously as her real name is synonymous with young adult wizard books.
So she has never been able to accept herself and instead of addressing that internal pain she directs it out towards others who are making their best honest efforts to accept themselves. It's always projection, always.It's not really even her initials. She doesn't have a middle name, so she just made the K up because it would make boys more likely to read her books or some shit like that.

I'm surprised she hasn't pulled out the attack helicopter yet.Its about the same line of thought, except with even more offensive racist and racially charged language tacked on.

It's always projection, always.I've always felt this was part of it. I really believe she's still going through some personal shit, likely as a result of the trauma she experienced earlier in life, but I'd really hate to go diagnosing on this as I'm not remotely an expert.
Being that rich pretty much guarantees that you are separate from every other human being. Its that degree of separation that defines the terminally online.Being that rich allows you that complete separation but you have to remember that she still needs that affirmation. She needs people to tell her they love her and are inspired by her. That was dwindling in the wake of HP winding down, and her new books weren't getting her much of any groundswell.
Using her initials was also a way to hide her gender in the early days. She than used the Robert Galbraith name in order for people to take new series seriously as her real name is synonymous with young adult wizard books.Maybe she used A different name for that, but she used that specific name because of the conversion therapy links.

While I wouldn't rule it out, I also think it could be a coincidence.That strikes me as extremely fucking unlikely.
That strikes me as extremely fucking unlikely.David Duke is my pen name, weird coincidence right?
This woman is absolutely obsessed with hating on transgender people it makes me wonder if there is some sort of projection going on.Wouldn't be the first time but she doesn't deserve the benefit of the doubt
This woman is absolutely obsessed with hating on transgender people it makes me wonder if there is some sort of projection going on.It's a narcissistic years long tantrum. That's it, we shouldn't overthink this.
This woman is absolutely obsessed with hating on transgender people it makes me wonder if there is some sort of projection going on.The "projection" argument is very rarely helpful for the community.
It's a narcissistic years long tantrum. That's it, we shouldn't overthink this.I even think that might be overthinking it. She just hates trans people because she thinks they're icky and she always has.
Wondering when people were going to point this out. Or about how the only Irish guy's name is Seamus Finnegan and his primary character flaw is that he frequently blows himself up.To be fair with Seamus. The constant blowing up thing was a movie trait and not a book one. JK is still a garbage person though. No argument there.

On 1 April 2024, in response to the Hate Crime and Public Order (Scotland) Act 2021 going into effect, Rowling posted a Twitter thread in which she listed and misgendered several transgender women. The women included several public figures as well as convicted sexual offenders . Clarissa-Jan Lim, a reporter for MSNBC, said Rowling grouping them together was "an apparent attempt to draw a connection between trans people and sexual perversion". Throughout the thread, Rowling sarcastically referred to all the people as female, but at the end clarified, "Obviously, the people mentioned in the above tweets aren't women at all, but men, every last one of them." Rowling said that, if her comments were illegal under the new law, she "looked forward to being arrested". Later, a spokesperson for Police Scotland said that Rowling's statements were "not assessed to be criminal and no further action will be taken." The Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, defended Rowling, saying "people should not be criminalised for stating simple facts on biology".
In the US the transphobia mostly comes from fundies and racial supremacists.While certain religious beliefs (and racism ofc) play roles in bigotry, transphobia is a major problem in the US as well, and is not something that is only limited to pockets of extremists.
Man, what is it with the UK being TERF-central? In the US the transphobia mostly comes from fundies and racial supremacists.
TERFs originated in the 70s in the US but it didn't catch on in academia outside some isolated areas. In the UK it became mainstream in academia. If you want to see a remnant of TERF ideology in the US check out the Duluth model which states only men can engage in domestic abuse. This gender essentialism causes views like JK Rowling where they think trans women are malicious men trying to infiltrate women's spaces to abuse them. It's a ridiculous notion, but these people really believe it. I went to undergrad long enough ago to actually meet professors who believed this stuff. One professor described transwomen as Terminator units sent to infiltrate women's spaces.TERFs or gender criticals are agents of the patriarchy. They dont actually view trans women as men because they dont go after men, and by reinforcing misogyny in society they help maintain the patriarchal power structures and promote sexist biological essentialism. Female spaces are to be policed, they demonstrably hurt cis women and trans women, and women are reduced to and defined by their reproductive organs by these people. Men are just a convenient excuse used to scaremonger but are not the real targets of their hate.
