https://variety.com/2023/digital/news/jk-rowling-podcast-transgender-legacy-ill-be-dead-1235526478/

J.K. Rowling claims people have deeply misunderstood her position on transgender women and the best-selling author says shes not preoccupied with how the controversy will affect her legacy.

I do not walk around my house, thinking about my legacy, she says in the first episode. You know, what a pompous way to live your life walking around thinking, What will my legacy be? Whatever, Ill be dead. I care about now. I care about the living.

That podcast series does seem kinda interesting though. I don't think I'll ever actually watch or listen to it, but it does seem kind of interesting that someone is doing a deep dive and exploring the links surrounding both the far right Christian extremists and the far left trans activists and their rallying against JK Rowling. She's just out here getting shit on by both extremes of the political spectrum.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]


I keep reading these takes on CE that the UK is some safe haven for transphobia even though the UK comes like leap years ahead of the USA in every measurable quality of life and safety metric for trans people.

Why do people get this idea? Is it because of media stuff?

Tc its very disingenuous to call far left trans activists an extreme on the political spectrum when their core tenet is trans people should be allowed to exist compared to far right where trans people should not be allowed to exist

There are absolutely people who take trans activism to an extreme. You can have a good cause and still be an extremist.

I actually fully agree with the legacy part. A guy once told me not having kids meant I wouldn't leave behind a legacy. I'll be fucking dead. It won't matter at all.

Maybe she's hoping she'll be viewed like HP Lovecraft, an amazing writer despite his terrible views.

She's not that talented tho.

I was referencing the article directly. They got the date wrong, but there was someone that treated jk Rowling with a pipe bomb. I'm pretty sure threatening to harm other people over your views counts as extreme, no matter how well intentioned you may be.

Because countries like NZ offer trans people asylum when fleeing Britain because of how bas the haye has gotten and continues to worsen.

Yeah. Well-Intentioned Extremist is even a villain trope.

I mean you're not wrong she gets shitted on by "both sides", but it's not equal. One side of the complaint against her is made up shit like witchcraft and getting pissed their kids find reading Harry Potter more fun than the fucking bible. The other side of the complaint is the harmful stuff she says about transpeople because she's so "anti-man" that she views transwomen as predators and transmen as guillible idiots being lured into somethig they don't want to do.

That's not really how it went down.

Some gay guy made an offensive tweet about trans people, which started a shit storm between LGBTQ people. The "dude", JJ, who is also gay, arranged a campaign to get the original gay guy kicked from Twitter. It worked.

Later, he returned. So then JJ made a tweet saying they will do the mass report thing again. If Twitter doesn't do the right thing, he will take legal action against him through his lawyer.

People brought up how JJ wanted to burrn JKR in 2020. He responded saying it was a metaphor, but also added that JKR is a Nazi.

JKR saw all this and got her own lawyers involved.

JK Rowling isn't a transphobe in the same way someone "just saying they make up 10% of the population and most of the violent crime" isn't a racist.
