Did she tweet that trans women arent women?

Yes. And after being criticized heavily for it, she continually does so over and over again, the only difference being that she deliberately makes it less explicit so that idiots and bigots feigning ignorance can claim "she didn't really say that, you're misinterpreting it" even though given the context and history, everyone fucking knows that's the intended meaning behind her words.

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".

lol no one is saying you can choose your sex. Trans people aren't choosing sex. They were born XX or XY, but also trans.

But you decided to read "Sex is real" and assume that is the only thing she has ever said and that people are mad at her for "just stating facts".

If your assumptions was correct, then that would mean trans people are delusional and making choices. That is obviously not true.

The stuff JK says is no different than the people who throw around racism and sprinkle in facts and statistics to justify why races are fundamentally different and everyone should stick to their own.

And people like you see those facts and go "But is her opinion really wrong if she posts facts?"

This is the part where you go "Oh so facts aren't real if we disagree with them?" completely missing my point to continue defending the other point you're missing.

Show me which part of chromosomes existing proves that she is right that trans women are destroying the female experience and letting them in bathrooms will lead to more men sexually harassing women. Maybe you'll tell me that she said nothing about harassment and is just worried about how smelly a man's poop is.

Trans people were assigned their sex at birth.
