Do you have beef with transgender people?


54 y/o Harry Potter Author, JK Rowling DELETED a TWEET after she declared her love for Stephen King after King said that Trans Women are Women!!

She shared a quote from the late feminist and author Andrea Dworkin as many accuse her of using her own sexual assault story to justify her controversial views on transgender issues

Kign shared a quote to his nearly 6 million followers which led to her declaring her "love" for him that has reached "New Heights"

She said "I've always revered Stephen King, but today my love reached, maybe not Annie Wilkes levels, but new heights. It's so much easier for men to ignore women's concerns, or to belittle them, but i won't ever forget the men who stood up when they didn't need to. Thank you, Stephen"

King was asked to clarify his vews by a fan when they said "You should address the TERF tweet. By telling us constant readers if you believe trans are women" and he replies "Yes, Trans women are women"

Rowling then DELETED her tweet declarig her love for King..

TERF stands for trans-exclusionary radical feminist that has been linked to Rowling over her anti-transgender views

Do you have beef with transgender people?

I think one would probably die from Pennywise. Probably Ron. Hermione would probably defeat him, but Harry would get the credit of course for being the lighting bolt chosen one.

I like how just the barest amount of effort to defend trans women in an unrelated thread was enough to trigger the TERF.

Let's be real, Pennywise was basically just a giant, overfed boggart.

After reading her piece, I'm not sure I understand/agree that it is transphobic. Or maybe it's the level of pushback against it that I'm not understanding. Still thinking about it.

There are parts I disagree with, but those parts don't actually have to do with transgender.

Or are we talking about something other than the essay she wrote a while ago?

IIRC he retweeted Rowling quoting Andrea Dworkin on some feminist commentary that, presumably, Rowling was using in a transphobic way, but it wasn't obvious from the quote.

She has been on a multi tweet tyrade as of late with saying stuff like m to f and vice versa are still the gender they were born as and such.

She is fine to have the views that she does, but why state them? Just keep them to yourself and remain apolitical and sell as many books as you can.

it's not so much crossing a line as taking off a mask. there's no indication her views have changed, she's just decided now's the time to let the rest of us in on them.

Well A) she's very used to people hanging on her every word, and B) life's a lot simpler when people are obvious about their opinions. Of course, you'll have to deal with the consequences.

This article captures a lot of Rowling's attitude towards trans people, both recent and in the past.
