Gender recognition certificate? She's implying this woman isn't a woman right?

Weird how Rowling calls trans women dangerous men, but still uses the proper pronouns.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

If hundreds of rape victims suffer and die but one transwoman also dies, Rowling considers it a price worth paying.

Sheesh whats her fuckin problem

More and more she acts like Umbridge

I'm getting REAL fucking sick of this bitch now.

Give me back my fucking childhood. I want kid me to have read books that I won't fucking hate myself for.

This feeling will pass and she'll just be another highly influential hateful bigot. It takes time

Ah, the United Kingdom.

Where there's an official document (the GRC) saying you've officially under-the-eyes-of-the-Crown transitioned, and boy is it a pain in the red-taped botty to get one.

Now thankfully there's a little thing called the Equality Act of 2010 that stipulates that you do not need a GRC to avoid being discriminated on the basis of gender identity. Or rather, the term they use is "gender reassignment", but the EHRC is clear that you don't have to actually be in the process of "reassignment" to be considered protected under the law, which most sane people would grasp as pretty much being a protection of gender identity.

The "gender criticals" including their Witch-Queen don't feel that applies to them and their incessant "fact telling".

By the way, this all kicked off this morning not necessarily because of Trans Day of Visibility, but rather because a Scottish law, known as the Hate Crime and Public Order Act of 2021 finally passed into effect today. It packs onto existing UK hate crime law and adds "age, disability, religion, sexual orientation, transgender identity or being intersex" to the criteria.

And FOR SOME ODD REASON Her Royal Joanne and the throng have raised a stink about such law.

Almost like they feel it was going to affect them in some way, but that doesn't make sense because they don't commit hate crimes.... right?

No, fuck her. Kid me didn't get to fucking do or read much because I was too busy being an autistic worthless piece of shit with no friends who was barely functional. Now I don't even have THIS anymore because even thinking about her or her books just gets me completely pissed off now.

So thanks, bitch, for taking away one of the few decent childhood memories I had.

jesus what's wrong with her. jk rowling is a fucking freak.

oi bruv you got a loicense for that gendah

Rowling's probably projecting. I wouldn't be surprised if she doesn't have a few skeletons in her closet.

It almost feels wrong that everyone is just kind of watching J.K. Rowlings brain melt in real time, and can't really do anything but watch. Her whole life now just revolves around hating trans-people, and its just sad to see.

JK's twitter today has purely been selectively name-searching herself to explain how everyone who disagrees is horrible, and everyone who agrees is right, and its just sad to see.

She very clearly doesn't have the self-control to keep skeletons in a closet, she's been shoving them in people's faces since we first spotted one in 2019.

^ My thoughts on Rowling. Just change it from hated to hate.

Many people say that those who grew up on Harry Potter never had a true childhood.

I think the only thing that could stop the ongoing brain-melt would be if people would just stop being ruled by their nostalgia and cease giving her their money hand-over-fist for mediocre-at-best product. I guarantee you that nothing worth spending cash on has come of her "Wizarding World" franchise ever since the second half of the film adaptation of Deathly Hallows was released.

I mean the moment you tell the world "my characters used to poop on the floor and make it vanish before bathrooms were invented" you've kinda shown all your cards.

That's an odd take. I wonder how they came to that conclusion.

I mean, I mostly didn't. I only even got to read HP because it was the new big thing when I was in grade school, so most everyone did.

Otherwise I was just that kid who had at-the-time undiagnosed mental difficulties, couldn't make friends, and didn't have enough money to keep up with trends.

The fuck is wrong with her?

And just think, there are still people on this board who will go out of their way to support her...

Turns out the lady who wrote a literal slave race into her world is not a good person.

I can't understand why Rowling feels the need to act like this. She's super rich. She could spend the rest of her days traveling, enjoying the finest resorts on the planet, living her best life secure in her legacy as the creator of a fantasy series beloved by millions. Why she would get consumed with this weird ass crusade against trans people who aren't hurting anybody is beyond me.

Her insisting on showing us what a sack of shit she is seems almost pathological at this point.

GhostFaceLeaks isn't a serious poster, they make ridiculous claims and attribute them to "many people."

Transphobia really does rot the brain. People that go deeper into transphobia, something happens to their brain and they become more and more vile turning into some kind of disgusting hateful creature.

lol too late

Yeah I think the most accurate take away is that she fears being mistaken as a trans person, but she blames that on them VS people who make assumptions too frequently.

Or just don't pay mind to assumptions by people who are strangers.

As an aside, while Harry's aunt and uncle don't need to be perfect and all, their antagonism just feels like another flavor of step parents are horrid.

like dude, the protagonist has half of the SS insignia on his forehead, you're surprised about her weird political takes 25 years later?

Cant she just go back to writing mediocre novels?

i really don't understand why she didn't just fuck off to a private island in 2005 and disappear with her gobs of cash

You know J.K. Rowling is a prime example as to why conservatives focus on shit like this. They blow a story out of proportion and make it seem like a massive deal. Bombard people with this shit as much as possible. Then people start arguing about it. Then the people who got offended double down. At that point it doesn't matter if they were mislead or some details were wrong. They are too invested. They're now arguing with their left-wing friends and starting to feel exiled. Suddenly they're now flipped and opposing left-wing policies all because of this small scale issue that they wouldn't even know about if they weren't constantly online or reading stories about it.

It's pretty scary how effective it is.

I really miss when the only controversial thing about JK Rowling was her co-opting being gay with Dumbledore.

Or when she said there was nothing in the book saying Hermoine was white and people screen capped a chapter describing her as pale in response.

The fact is, she's a garbage writer whose success was undeserved, and a lot of other good books were completely overshadowed by said undeserved success.

Nothing was written or executed well.

She's let herself be brainwashed by a cult, that's her problem.

She openly praises supports and funds people associated with neo-Nazism. The skeletons are on public display. If you've got the patience, you can watch a half-hour video on it, with evidence: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ou_xvXJJk7k

Like I said, she let herself be brainwashed. Being rich doesn't make you immune to cult recruitment (look at all the rich Scientologists).

Tf is a gender recognition certificate?

So what can we do to stop this tactic or reverse it entirely? Nothing?

An official document in the UK recognising a trans person's gender. They have to go through a pointlessly bureaucratic process to get one and, until recently, pay a hefty fee (there's still a fee but it's now much smaller).

For most purposes, including protection from discrimination, it doesn't actually matter whether they have a GRC or not - see CyricZ's post above (#11) - and many trans people (probably the majority) never bother getting one, because they don't need it. But transphobes often find it convenient to pretend that whether a trans woman has a GRC or not is actually incredibly important somehow.

I can't understand why Rowling feels the need to act like this.

I've thought about this and I feel it is a matter of three parts. Mind you I have no professional basis for any of this:

1) Her past trauma with her abusive husband. That kind of thing can absolutely wreck a person emotionally and spiritually and result in the need to reassemble one's sense of self. Also I feel that gave her a strict internal division on gendered society (she would call it "sexed" but we never accuse GCs of being deeper thinkers, or to put it another way, culture and history is not stored in the balls).

2) Her disdain for ugliness, which may stem from #1. This shows up very readily in both HP and Cormorant Strike where she gets needlessly descriptive with how ugly her ugly characters are. She doesn't worship beauty, mind. She's quite focused around her characters being average or only with some "normal" flaws, but if she makes a character ugly, she gets downright sadistic with it. I feel that this led to her initial distaste of trans people in general, as a transitioning person doesn't always match a cleanly gendered line of what "average" looks like for men or (INSERT HARD DIVIDING LINE HERE) women.

Now take those two together and in any other person she'd probably just be kinda wary of trans people and would avoid them and grumble about them and might be rude at times, but it wouldn't really be a thing, but tack on the fact that she's not just rich, but a celebrity, and influential. In late 2019, she saw Maya Forstater lose her job (her contract was not renewed) due to Maya's more open transphobia. She saw that and saw "trans ugliness" moving in on normal "averagely pretty" society and she decided to speak.

She spoke out on behalf of Maya and the worst thing happened: people responded positively to her and flocked to her. Not quite in the millions that adored her for her books, but this was active support at a time when she was well past the final HP book and most people hadn't given her much thought anymore.

Which brings us to:

3) The attention. She's on the front stage. She's the talk of the town. She's in the papers. She remembers what this felt like back when she was hot with HP and she missed it. She had people lapping at her feet, and to her, it didn't matter that this was quite a different crowd than she's used to. I mean, it was mostly the same, right? There were women, women like her, who saw ugliness in the world and thought it wasn't right.

And initially there was a rush of support not just from anti-trans people but her usual fans who were interested to see her back in the limelight, but over time the tumult of the attention started to settle out. Some fans left. More fans left. Some people filled in those gaps that she wouldn't have otherwise accepted. These people weren't just ardent feminists fighting for the female sex. Some of them were men, some of them were deeper conservatives than she might be used to. Some of them, well, let's just say you can go into any replies to her tweets and find some choice words that a non-Elon Twitter probably wouldn't have put up with.

So that brings us to now and her largely trying to keep a "proper" facade as a "voice of reasoned feminism" (while her friends get far more direct) but it's been cracking slowly over the last few years and in recent months.

Because the problem with these new fans giving her attention is that these kind of people hold theirs to a very strict standard, and especially nowadays any crack in that towards the realm of compassion, kindness, or "woke" can result the entire swath of them turning on you. Every conservative pundit faces the same, and they NEED to keep it up, otherwise they lose that attention just as quickly as it came.

So there will come a time where she will need to go all in, or fold.

And to fold would be to fade back into obscurity, and I don't know if she'd be able to take that.

@CyricZ

Additionally or alternatively however you see it, it could just be that in response to her trauma, even with success and a following she still isn't happy or happy enough. Thus choosing to make others unhappy. And that is arguably a general reason for Anti-LGBTQ+ sentiments.

Sure, that's honestly pretty common with plenty of unhappy people, and honestly I might be over-analyzing. She could just be in general unsatisfied and because she's rich and largely untouchable, she thinks she's found a good way to get something out of life.
