@jk_rowling
3 months of dedicated research & I cannot find a single truly transphobic JK Rowling quote that stands up against the scrutiny of journalistic integrity.
The abuse JK has endured is beyond forgiveness. Every death threat, r*pe threat & torrent of abuse, she has born w/ grace.๐งต
In the process, I peaked.
JK Rowling is not an โintolerable transphobeโ, sheโs a (talented) woman who could have sat back & been beloved forever, but looked around & paid attention as the intersection of trans rights and womenโs rights has had understandable growing pains.๐งต
JK saw the loopholes being created & knew that women needed a voice. So instead of sitting back & wishing everyone well, said โItโs got to be me, hasnโt it?โ. She did something terrifying & amazing & used her voice, I suspect knowing damn well what was to come.
Thatโs bravery.๐งต
In many cases, one groups rights are being sacrificed for the other, with the most vulnerable women often paying the price. Here in Britain, we always want to support both sides but realise that in some cases (like DV Shelters), that is impossible.
And JK was paying attention.
Trans Rights Activism has reached a dangerous level, populated primarily by aggressive males and emotional (largely vulnerable) young women.
Donโt believe me?
Here are all the things I have lost as a result of holding Gender Critical beliefs.
1. My Job. Twice.
Not only withinโฆ
Hereโs a list of excuses I was given, repeatedly, while researching JK Rowlings โtransphobicโ quotes -
- Itโs just common knowledge
- Go Google โJK Transโ and youโll see it
- Itโs hard to pick one quote bc itโs everything she says, ever
- โIโm not doing your research for youโ๐งต
I am finished pretending I see any trans woman as a literal woman
The trans movement has now reached a level of violence & aggression against women that I no longer believe is just about โliving your truthโ
It may have started out that way but now itโs anti-women. NO.
#Peaked
JK Rowling said it best -
โWhat if Iโm wrong? Well, hallelujah. But what if YOUโRE wrong?โ
If youโre wrong, & you supported the experimental mutilation of children bc you were too scared to speak up against โtrans healthcareโ, how will you forgive yourself?
I couldnโt.
Women retaining single sex spaces isnโt just about avoiding sexual assault & rape (bt that too) itโs about comfort.
Women are not comfortable sharing bathrooms with males. We shouldnโt have to say why, it should be respected. Maybe we donโt want to be followed or spied on, maybeโฆ
Iโm sorry but imagine I went around as a lesbian, hitting on straight women, then screaming at them for all to hear that they are HOMOPHOBIC for saying no?
I mean, seriously, trans peopleโฆNo one owes you sex. Itโs not you, itโs us. We get to choose who we have sex with. The end
Wow. What a lot of links to things Iโve already read and videos Iโve already watched.
Thanks, I guess?
I repeat - I see nothing transphobic in anything JK Rowling has ever said. You canโt buy, bully or berate me in to saying otherwise.
Never.
Group think, brainwashing & listening unquestioningly to the voices of my LGBT peers over critical thought & doing my own research/thinking.
5 years I have spent nodding along while JK was buried, and for that I apologise.
Iโm glad to report Iโm thinking for myself again now.
Oh, the menโs bathroom isnโt safe for trans women?
So take that up with the men to make the male bathrooms safer. It is not womens job to fight for that & we wish to retain our single sex spaces.
We fought hard, we won them. What is it about a womanโs No that makes you soโฆ
Women can tell male from female instantly, thatโs how we survived.
Womanโs biggest predator was not a lion or a tiger, it was Man.
It still is.
Itโs ingrained for us to know the difference. Sorry, we canโt biologically re-wire just bc you scream your pronouns at us. Stop.
Having a Cat does not make you Dogphobic
Being Pro-Choice does not mean you love & delight in abortion
Holding religious beliefs does not make you an extremist
And JK Rowling supporting womenโs rights is not transphobic
Are we understanding yet? You have been lied to about JK

Hi Helen. Iโm currently in contact with a young woman who you wrongfully transitioned over at GenderGP.

Women donโt want to have to exclude Transwomen from bathrooms, thatโs not it. In fact many of us are angry that itโs come to this

My Apology-
After my tweets RE researching JK Rowlings โtransphobiaโ, I have educated myself & see now that I owe an apology..

Itโs not trans women that I do not want in womenโs bathrooms, itโs men (the male kind) who claim to be women to spy on us. Follow us. Abuse us. Intimidate & dominate us.
