I'm not saying @jk_rowling is a male. I'm just saying we have zero proof that she's not a male. And until we see her chromosomes, can she be trusted in women's spaces?

Have you seen this conversation?

Two things stand out to me.

1) The way this particular tweet is framed and the contrasts used. The OP identifies as a “lesbian feminist”.

https://x.com/jk_rowling/status/1849416118399561734

2) The way that lesbianism is portrayed as a feminist choice.

https://x.com/jk_rowling/status/1849461167388807494

Look, Julia Long could be a polilez for all I know but what she said here isn’t inherently polilez. Nor is it telling heterosexual women they need to be with women, let alone identify as lesbian - just that they don’t need to be with men. I hate how Rowling posits two options: celibacy or lesbianism, as if bisexuality doesn’t exist. Brave of her to assume Gisele was heterosexual? How does she know?

It’s not victim-blaming to remind women they have the option to not be with men. Women of all sexual orientations are socialised to be utterly dependent on men. In a non-patriarchal world there would be no reason to remind women they can have a fulfilled life without men because they would already know.

[denmark-street]

While enjoying a largely positive reception, @RGalbraith's #TheRunningGrave is, like other #CormoranStrike novels, apparently being criticized for its length - that it's too long for "popular fiction." But, respectfully, I think this view is misguided. The criticism is in part "generic" -- that is, having to do with the genre of crime fiction. Conan Doyle wrote short stories, Agatha Christie novels are modestly sized. And readers have become accustomed to thinking that "poplular fiction" comprises short beach reads. But Wilkie Collins's pioneering works of English detective fiction like The Moonstone (1868) are nearly twice as long as Murder on the Orient Express. TS Eliot cited the length of Collins's work as one of its virtues, describing it as the first, the longest, and the best of modern English detective novels." Most importantly, @RGalbraith / @jk_rowling is not, it seems to me, setting out simply to write "popular fiction" - the #CormoranStrike series ought to be considered in the tradition of the Bildungsroman, or Coming-of-Age Novel which examines the psychological maturation of its central character(s). And a more just comparison would be the socially aware novels of Charles Dickens, whose "popular fiction" averaged in the hundreds of thousands of words! Bearing in mind that Dickens published in weekly and monthly serials, the salient point is that his "popular fiction" aimed to educate readers about what he believed were the urgent social issues of his time -- and so does @RGalbraith. In conclusion, #TheRunningGrave may be too long for you -- and that's fine. But with its keen spotlight on cults, crime, domestic violence, & so much more (I wish to avoid spoilers) it is for many of us NOT long enough... And could have been at least one chapter longer!

[msclaritea]

you are a truly disgusting individual. your anti queer rhetoric is sending the world so far backward, you are pushing hate towards a community who already experiences so much shit from others like you. drag is not dangerous, it is art. being trans is not a cult. queer people are not inherently evil as you so clearly think. you are a sick fuck and I hope you have a terrible day <3

Scotland's Hate Crime Act comes into effect today. Women gain no additional protections, of course, but well-known trans activist Beth Douglas, darling of prominent Scottish politicians, falls within a protected category. Phew! 1/11

Lovely Scottish lass and convicted double rapist Isla Bryson found her true authentic female self shortly before she was due to be sentenced. Misgendering is hate, so respect Isla’s pronouns, please. Love the leggings! 2/11

Fragile flower Katie Dolatowski, 6'5", was rightly sent to a women's prison in Scotland after conviction. This ensured she was protected from violent, predatory men (unlike the 10-year-old girl Katie sexually assaulted in a women's public bathroom.) 3/11

Samantha Norris was cleared of exposing her penis to two 11-year-old girls. Hooray! Unfortunately she was then convicted for possession of 16,000 images of children being raped and sexually assaulted. Be that as it may, Sam’s still a lady to me! 4/11

Scottish woman and butcher Amy George abducted an 11-year-old girl while dressed in female clothing. No idea why this was mentioned in court – of course she was wearing women’s clothing, she's a woman! Amy took the girl home and sexually abused her over a 27-hour period. 5/11

But most women aren’t axe-toters or sex offenders, so let’s talk role models! Guilia Valentino (in red) wanted to play on the women's team 'because of sisterhood, validation and political visibility'. Naturally, she was given some boring cis girl’s place. Yay for inclusion! 6/11

Mridul Wadhwa, head of a Scottish rape crisis centre, says, ‘sexual violence happens to bigoted people as well.’ She has no gender recognition certificate, but was still appointed to a job advertised for women only. Time to be ‘challenged on your prejudices’, rape victims! 7/11

Munroe Bergdorf isn’t just a pretty face! Public campaigner for a children’s charity until safeguarding concerns were raised, she was appointed UN Women’s first ever UK champion. ‘What makes a woman “a woman” has no definitive answer,’ says Munroe. Great choice, UN Women! 8/11

Katie Neeves has been appointed as the UN Women UK delegate. She switched from straight man to lesbian at the age of 48 and, in a leaked 2022 webinar, described how she used to enjoy stealing and wearing her sister’s underwear. A truly relatable representative! 9/11

Last, but least, TV’s India Willoughby proves we women can call a black broadcaster a ‘nasty bitch’ who ‘wouldn’t be anywhere without woke’, dub lesbians men, insult the looks of a female Olympic swimmer, ‘joke’ about kidnapping feminists, and STILL get airtime! What a gal! 10/11

🎉🌼🌸April Fools! 🌸🌼🎉

Only kidding. Obviously, the people mentioned in the above tweets aren't women at all, but men, every last one of them.

In passing the Scottish Hate Crime Act, Scottish lawmakers seem to have placed higher value on the feelings of men performing their idea of femaleness, however misogynistically or opportunistically, than on the rights and freedoms of actual women and girls. The new legislation is wide open to abuse by activists who wish to silence those of us speaking out about the dangers of eliminating women's and girls’ single-sex spaces, the nonsense made of crime data if violent and sexual assaults committed by men are recorded as female crimes, the grotesque unfairness of allowing males to compete in female sports, the injustice of women’s jobs, honours and opportunities being taken by trans-identified men, and the reality and immutability of biological sex.

For several years now, Scottish women have been pressured by their government and members of the police force to deny the evidence of their eyes and ears, repudiate biological facts and embrace a neo-religious concept of gender that is unprovable and untestable. The re-definition of 'woman' to include every man who declares himself one has already had serious consequences for women's and girls’ rights and safety in Scotland, with the strongest impact felt, as ever, by the most vulnerable, including female prisoners and rape survivors.

It is impossible to accurately describe or tackle the reality of violence and sexual violence committed against women and girls, or address the current assault on women’s and girls’ rights, unless we are allowed to call a man a man. Freedom of speech and belief are at an end in Scotland if the accurate description of biological sex is deemed criminal.

I'm currently out of the country, but if what I've written here qualifies as an offence under the terms of the new act, I look forward to being arrested when I return to

the birthplace of the Scottish Enlightenment.

"It was only in Scotland that the Templars endured no persecution.." Albert G. Mackey

Knights Templars gave birth to the Freemasons.

The Templars practiced Dark Arts and Paganism.

The Templars infiltrated churches including the Church of England.

Reverend is a Masonic title.

Worship of the Pagan Adam Kadmon is worship of Divine Androgyne and Intersex.

The current Transgender Rights For Men and Drag, like the Gender Ideology in Weimer during WWII comes from Pagan worship, very sick elite fetish and Pedophiles. It steps on actual people suffering Body Dysphoria and physical disabilities, involving their organs.

Bottom line: Your 'Art' is FOUL and Fraudulent, meant only to please wealthy perverts and mock real women. Oh! And to allow access to children, for the perverts, you know damn well exist in your community.

Scary and upsetting. Not that I'm surprised by this behavior from Joanne k Rowling but still it upsets me.

Id: tweet by @esqueer_ on Feb 14 2023 replying to 2 screenshots of tweets.

First screenshot is jj Welles @josephjames94 writing to @jk_rowling: "well well well. We meet at last. To think that you were once an icon to me. I think you absolutely have views that align with nazis. I think Fred also has views that align with nazis. I think relying on tropes and stereotypes is very 1930s propaganda." @jk_rowling replies, "okey dokey jj, we'll play it your way. Give my regards to your solicitor! ;) "

Second screenshot is a series of tweets by jj welles on Feb 13, reading in total "I would like to publicly apologize for a previous Twitter thread where I interacted with jk Rowling on matters relating to the transgender community. I have now removed those tweets and would like to apologize to jk Rowling directly for causing potential upset. I failed to choose my words with care and would like to retract my previous statements relating to her views on the LGBTQ+ and more specifically, transgender people. I would also like to retract my likening to jk Rowling to any far right organization and emphasize I do not wish any individual, inclusive of jk Rowling, to come to any harm."

@esqueer_ tweeted these screenshots with the following message: "jk Rowling likes to play the victim when in reality she's a giant bully. When people critize her, she sends her legal team to threaten them with legal action and financial ruin to retract it and apologize. A billionaire is abusing the legal system to silence her critics." /End id

Ooh lily appears to be going down the radfem rabbit hole with that Dworkin defense she posted.

Hope she gets to the part where radfems have a bad habit of supporting right wing groups and generally unintentionally making rights worse for women

i... i have a lot of thoughts about this. 1. she wasn't just "critical" of the porn industry, she thought of it as intrinsically, inherently violent and sex workers as perpetual victims that needed to be freed, whether they wanted to or not. the idea that marginalized people could do their own pornography in their own terms to reclaim their own bodies and sexuality or, worse even, that some women actively, freely, choose to be sex workers is completely out of the table, which means robbing them of their own agency. this didn't cause people to be critical of the industry. it caused people to marginalize sex workers, often disabled, often already oppressed in some other way, so they industry itself very rarely is properly regulated, which ironically makes it even more abusive, and the sex worker to always being on the edge of becoming criminals, losing their jobs or be at the mercy of police enforcement. LO didn't just went completely mask off on being a fully supportive radfem, she went full swerf mask off. any statement that she ever made about how sex work "is just another job" has been completely and utterly rendered meaningless now. LO just loudly proclaim to any sex worker who could ever be interested to follow her that they're not safe with her, they don't have an ally with her and, as far LO's concerned, they don't have any free will. 2. even if she was trans inclusive, she was still the foundation of SWERFs to cause the irreparable damage that they have done to sex workers and undermining their rights for decades. being trans positive or not doesn't suddenly make that okay. many other people, including sex worker themselves, have already criticized the industry without painting it as inherently flawed and damaging, as not worth saving at all, exactly because they also want it to improve, so why invoke Andrea Dworkin at all... unless you want to associate yourself with the kind of people who actively abuse and make life harder for sex workers?

3. i googled "andrea dworkin transgender rights" and i was about to post the articles that can provide some quotes showing that Dworkin was trans positive on her work (for the time her works were written that is), but then i found this:

this is rowing using quotes from Andrea Dworkin on a thread where she pats herself on the back for her TERF manifesto. again. you can read it full here: https://twitter.com/jk_rowling/status/1277265589782929410?lang=es of course, one can argue that she was trans inclusive and have actual quotes from her work to show that, inclusive testimonies from people who knew her intimately, as another way to argue against TERF... but is that changing anything? is it really worth it to repair the reputation of a woman injustly accused of being transphobic because her work has been appropriated and used by hateful people like rowing and her associates for decades at this point, if all we gain instead is a woman who would hate sex workers... many of them trans anyway? aren't we just helping SWERF and validating their branch of bigotry? this without even counting how anti-kink her views also come across. maybe LO is comfortable making that trade off. she was rather conflict free when it came to laughing along and promoting a bonafide real life nazi if that meant having someone willing to attack the transfemme person she hates. but i don't think that's an attitude that should be imitated.

Hogwarts Legacy: Don't buy it. Do not buy Hogwarts Legacy, its not worth it. By:TheGenderKnot

Triggering discussion on: transphobia and racism

A longer explanation why not buy Hogwarts Legacy

J.K. Rowling is more tone deaf, racist and transphobic than you thought and we as a collective should not support people, particularly powerful people, that oppress other marginalized groups. This means not participating with their IP (Intellectual property), in this instance, not purchasing Hogwarts Legacy. It's our responsibility to stand by our fellow gamers who are trans, and hold powerful people accountable for their actions. We can do this by not buying anything related to the franchise as well as being critical of Hogwarts Legacy. This has already been done by many people who have criticized aspects J.K. Rowling's values and how this translates into the content she creates. 

For example, “ Even If The Transphobia Doesn't Bother You, Please Don't Buy (or Even play) The New Hogwarts Game,”

https://www.reddit.com/r/WitchesVsPatriarchy/comments/x0n0fn/even_if_the_transphobia_doesnt_bother_you_please/?

Talks about ethnocentric racism is used as the main driving point in Hogwarts Legacy's story. Other articles have spoken about how J.K. Rowling appropriates and misrepresents other cultures such as “the generalization of First Nation people, generalizing and mixing Asian cultures together, the absence of People of Color in all the source material, the absence of LGBTQ+” (Now we know why), callous plot holes ignoring slavery in American settings such as Fantastic Beasts and where to find them.

https://scroll.in/article/896331/with-her-nagini-casting-twist-jk-rowling-has-once-again-ignored-history-and-chosen-appropriation 

I'm here to build on the transphobia and the harm J.K. Rowling has had on the trans community especially in the UK and why purchasing her games, movies, books and everything else connected to the IP makes the consumer an indirect supporter of J.K. Rowling and her discriminating values and beliefs. The reason, I am writing this is because of the comments I've seen on previous posts which come across as selfish, callous, nonsensical and some even sharing rhetoric and arguments used to oppress girls and women that play games.

J.K. Rowling's posted a tweet that was both transphobic and racist on twitter, in 2020 that berated international organizations who “aimed to create a more equal post-COVID-19 world for people who menstruate.” https://www.devex.com/news/sponsored/opinion-creating-a-more-equal-post-covid-19-world-for-people-who-menstruate-97312

Her transphobic values have since come to light, to such a degree that she has received direct and in-direct criticism from her fan base, the cast from the Harry Potter franchise, and the LGBTQ+ community as well as those who support them.

JK Rowling has since doubled on her trans exclusionary stance by releasing her problematic book 'troubled blood' back in 2020 under her pen name Robert Galbraith a 20th century American psychiatrist who practiced the pseudoscience of conversion therapy.

In JK Rowling's on-going behavior against the trans community, she has been meeting with multiple anti-trans groups,

https://www.thepinknews.com/2022/04/11/jk-rowling-lunch-get-the-l-out-anti-trans-rosie-duffield/

One of the groups being LGB Alliance

https://www.thepinknews.com/2022/09/16/lgb-alliance-tribunal-mermaids-kate-harris-eileen-gallagher/ A 'charity' responsible for blocking the ban on the inhumane practice of conversion therapy for Trans people. 

https://www.opendemocracy.net/en/5050/minister-met-lobbyists-ahead-of-conversion-therapy-u-turn/

This social is made even worse, when back in 2020 JK Rowling, not that she was believed, tweeted that she would march alongside the Trans community if they were ever discriminated against.

https://mobile.twitter.com/jk_rowling/status/1269407862234775552

Since then J.K. Rowling has praised Matt Walshfor his extremely harmful anti-trans movie. 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jJty8Dcmuk https://www.thepinknews.com/2022/07/11/jk-rowling-matt-walsh/

Has been compared to Russian dictator Putin by Putin himself 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DGzdDu3-WYo

And released another book which about female celebrity hounded by children’s fantasy fans

https://www.thepinknews.com/2022/08/30/jk-rowling-the-ink-black-heart-reaction-trans/

And says new book about transphobia backlash ‘genuinely wasn’t’ inspired by real life but the parallels are uncanny.

https://www.thepinknews.com/2022/09/01/jk-rowling-nw-book-backlash/

Instead of me adding a dramatic conclusion, just read the articles linked throughout this post, if they don't dissuade you from buying Hogwarts Legacy, I don't know what will.

To everyone saying they're not going to buy the game because [enter reason] but are still going to play it. The game itself still has a problematic story that tastelessly uses racism as a narrative plot device whilst not addressing and making substantial amends with the racism and discriminative stereotypes from the source material uses. JK Rowling is STILL getting royalties from this. You buy it?  You’re supporting her. https://screenrant.com/jk-rowling-hogwarts-legacy-involvement-profit/ https://kotaku.com/hogwarts-legacy-lead-designer-used-to-run-anti-social-j-1846316222 Play something else. Do not plug your ears and pretend that this isn't happening. Do not act like Rowling isn't a problem. Do not be dismissive of the immeasurable hurt and pain that her actions have caused to the non-white, trans, and non-binary folk among us.
