[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And today The Sun posts an interview with her abuser showing zero remorse at all. Because women are still, perpetually at the bottom of the totem pole.[/quote]

You can be abused and also still hold harmful opinions and use your platform to spread them. She is both. She doesn’t get a pass on harming transgender people now because she survived DV. [/quote]

I don't understand. She is harming transgender people by saying XX women are not the same as XY trans women biologically?
How can that not be true?
[/quote]

That is not the extent of her comments[/quote]

It kind of seems like it is.

Women’s issues are not trans women’s issues.  Both groups of people have issues, but they aren’t the same.  [/quote]

It doesn’t seem like it to you because you are only looking at her blog post. She has made transphobic comments for a LONG time, this isn’t new, and because I know trans people I deeply care about I know that and won’t excuse her for it. [/quote]

DP. She said she would freaking march alongside Trans people for their rights. She is NOT transphobic. You’re twisting her thoughts. And btw, don’t forget she is allowed to think differently than you are on this. This is ok. [/quote]

We’ve already explained she can think whatever she wants. It’s disgusting to use her massive platform in PRIDE month to voice these opinions about trans women. You think it’s coincidence she chose to center her white cis voice in *this* month? why does the world need to hear over and over again that JK Rowling doesn’t consider trans women real women? She seems insistent everyone knows how much she thinks this and like... nobody even asked her. She’s a children’s book author with massive cultural impact who now uses that platform to voice harmful opinions. [/quote]

Jk lives in the UK, where right now there is legislation being worked on to allow gender self-identification.   It’s a topic of current interest where she lives.  It has nothing to do with Pride month.  [/quote]
