People on the on the internet will send death threats for something as petty as delaying a video game, to be fair.

You don't need to defend a rotten bitch just because someone sent her death threats.

They're both wrong.

No, I don't think most trans supporters want to actually kill the bigots who view trans people as subhuman filth. They just want to criticize them publicly and hopefully damage their reputation.

Sending death/rape threats is exclusively done by assholes. It has nothing to do with the trans movement. Anyone suggesting it does is arguing in bad faith.

Rowling has shitty views, but anyone sending here these things are even shittier.

I want to like her.

She got fired for daydreaming at her old job. She was flexible enough to turn the first book into a Roald Dahl like fantasy adventure before pushing back and doing what she wanted to do with the series. And she pushed back against Disney. When they wanted to have Mickey and Minnie dressed up as Harry and Hermione, she decided to license theme park rides out to Universal for considerably less money. (And then fought back against them when they tried to dress Hogwarts up for Halloween without her permission.)

But this anti-trans stuff? Yeah, screw that. When Harry Potter gets remade, I hope the studios go absolutely out of their way to have as many female characters as possible played by trans women.

She's definitely wrong. Death threats are just worse.

Replace "trans" with "black" or "white" on her comments and tell me she just has differing opinions and cares about safety.

Why not male characters played by trans men?

Her campaign has mostly been that trans women aren't real women because they don't share the same experiences growing up as cis women.

Well yeah, because the comments would then be about race.

And I don't think people are arguing race isn't real.

So if someone said black people weren't real and letting them in the bathroom will just lead to violent crime, we would call that person a crazy bigot.

But somehow hating gay and trans people is considered a valid differing opinion.

Even if trans people were fake or whatever, why are people so worried about bathroom rape? Why can't everyone share bathrooms? Shouldn't we fear men in all public places then? That sounds kind extremely misandrist, but what would you expect from a third-wave TERF like Rowling?

Weird how anti-SJW conservatives are praising a loudmouth feminist just because she hates a minority.

She is saying sex is real and her opponents in this context are saying otherwise.

So in this comparison she would be the one saying race is real, and the opponents would be saying you can choose your race.

Since most people don't recognize transracial as a "real thing", using this metaphor doesn't work here.

Holy fuck dude. I'm saying replace "trans/transgender/transexual/etc" with "black" or "white".

"Sex is real, so trans people are delusional and letting them go in places will devalue women and lead to violence".

It's no different than saying black people need to be separate because crime statistics show they commit more violent crime, or citing some study that shows skull shape differences.

What makes gender bigotry more valid than racial bigotry?

While nobody argues that. There are plenty of people who argue that racism isn't real or that they "don't see color" which are parallel arguments.

That is not true at all. That's a strawman she's attacking to deflect from previous, less defensible comments she's made.

I think she's just saying the first part though, the "sex is real" part.

Like yeah, most sentences become awful if you add awful stuff to the end.

The comparison is "race is real, so we cannot let white people pretending to be black into spaces for black people." Now her critics would say you can choose your sex but not your race. And so while yes you shouldn't let white people pretending to be black into black spaces, a person identifying as biologically female is biologically female and belongs in every single space that cis biological females belong.

As I understand it, her stance is "transwomen are real, but they are not identical to ciswomen in every way".

It seems like she is responding to somebody who was fired for saying "sex is real".

There may be more context missing.

But, I'm going off what is posted in this topic.

She's not. She's saying that to cover her tracks so gullible as hell people like you come to her defense.

JK Rowling: "Trans women aren't women, they're men pretending to be women and they shouldn't be allowed in woman's bathrooms. I will never respect their identities and will call them men."

People: "Wow, JK Rowling is a TERF. We should drop support for her if she continues donating to hate groups that advocate for limiting trans rights."

JK Rowling: "I'm just saying there should be a word for people that were born XX with vaginas. Sex is real."

People: "JK Rowling is doubling down and advocating against trans rights."

Disingenuous bigots pretending her only comments were the second ones: "What did she say that was untrue?"

Context matters
