This is exactly how the public gaslit JKR, who actually doesn't hate trans people.


OK? Well this still sounds like one person posting over and over pretending to be "wow, so informed!" by this podcast.

Also, for gd's sake, go read a book about the actual witch trials some time and ask yourself if any of the people who were murdered at the time were also billionaires whose biggest complaint is that a few people on twitter don't like them.

JK Rowling is doing fine. I would really ask you to find someone else as your martyr.

DP, not the person you're replying to, but wow. Talk about cognitive dissonance and logical fallacies. I actually wrote out all the ways you deliberately ignored the parallels, deliberately mischaracterized/minimized Rowling's experience and your ignorance of the historical witch trials...but you know what? You clearly don't want to know the truth. You're brainwashed and you won't listen to the podcast anyway. Good luck in life.

As long as they don't expect any rights, JKR will allow trans people to exist. What else could anyone want (besides rights)?

...that's not her position at all. Maybe don't comment here until you actually listen to the podcast?

Oh yeah super brainwashed. That's the only reason that I find it distasteful to compare one of the richest, most powerful, and completely alive people in the world with people who were murdered in the 1600s. I'm the troublesome one here, fer sher.

People got mad at her on Twitter. Her books still sell gazillions of copies. She is free to travel where she likes. She is free to say what she likes. But yeah, some people disagree with her on Twitter and oh POOR JK Rowling. Won't anyone think of JK Rowling. Why all she wants to do is deny a vulnerable group of people their identities and rights - as the Republican party is essentially gearing up to round up trans people and put them in camps - but won't anyone think of poor JK Rowling!

And pray tell - what is the "cognitive dissonance" that you are noting here? What are the fallacies? Or are you now practically a witch trial victim too because someone on the internet isn't being all "WOW thank you for sharing this IMPORTANT podcast with me!"?

Why do we have to listen to a podcast when we've actually seen her tweets, and read her position letters, and have already spent more time thinking about JK Rowling's thoughts about trans people than I really ever care to do again.

She is the one who keeps making this an issue! Maybe if she talked about something else every once in a while, we could engage with her differently, too!!

I liked the podcast.

I am the mother of a trans teen and I was curious as to what the whole deal was with JKR since I am not on twitter and (gasp) have never read Harry Potter.

I didn't find that she was transphobic exactly, but that she was provocative in her tweets. Probably due to her trauma.

I do find it interesting that some trans activists have gone death con 3 on JKR, while they do nothing about the right-wing politicians who are actually threatening the existence of the trans community.

I mean they threaten to rape and kill her -- what about Marjorie Taylor Green? Or DeSantis? It's odd.

Yep. Because it's not just tweets urging Rowling to stuff their trans c*cks down her throat and choke. They doxxed her address in Scotland and the police had evidence of serious threats to her life and her kids. Which anyone who actually listened to the podcast would know.

And there IS something deeply, fundamentally misogynistic about this...for example, although most violence against trans people comes at the hands of men, we only have a slur for women...TERF.

Pathetic. Ok, double down on your delusion. I don't waste my breath on insanity.

This is why these threads get deleted. Too much insanity.

Camps? My God, the narcissistic delusion is real.

Wow. WOW.

1) you're literally revealing that you actually want to silence all respectful debate on trans issues. Because if you actually think reading Twitter vomit threads and one blog post means you've understood everything about her position - when Rowling has bought and read dozens of books from the opposing side, which YOU'D KNOW IF YOU LISTENED TO THE PODCAST - you either are dumber than a brick, or you're afraid.

2) she's speaking up for herself after being mischaracterized, abused, and thrown under buses by people who wanted to appeased their fans. When her platform is that huge, and when the issue is so wide-reaching, she is allowed to discuss hr position 400 times if she wants to. And anyone actually invested in TRUTH, not ther power, would gladly want more information.

You don't want truths that are inconvenient though...and you're enraged that Rowling and the rest of us won't just shut up and take your abuse, gaslighting, and blindness.

Just...wow. I am still stunned by your post. You revealed yourself. You can't take it back now...you revealed who you really are. I saw you. I will never again feel guilty for agreeing with Rowling. I will never again doubt myself.
