Diseased Rowling Derangement Syndrome - "TERF/Woke Author Bad!!1"

That he has or is on a podcast is the most horrifying thing in this thread so far that's not a rape or death threat.

They did a live one at the 13,000 capacity O2 just before the election.

No, seriously. It's extremely strange.

It's pretty staggering that they managed to find enough people willing to pay good money to watch a couple of middle-aged men doing a podcast in the flesh, offering their (completely misguided and uninformed, as it turned out) opinions on another country's politics. Go to a pub on a weekday evening and you'll get exactly the same thing for the price of a drink.

But it's also not surprising to me, because lots of people of a certain age and income bracket are in the same bubble. They don't want 2024 politics with QAnon types on one side and gender lunatics on the other (I don't blame them), they want the comforting certainties of a previous era of politics.

Spoiler: Slight PL

My mother, who lives in England these days, is one of the people who listens to this podcast, and she's just as ignorant about the state of troonery and what it means. She's one of the truly good people in the world and I'm sure if she knew everything I do then she'd understand what a problem it is. But she just doesn't get it, like Alistair Campbell doesn't. On the rare occasion I bring it up, she's totally baffled by how much it bothers me. It's not her fault - there are lots of people like her who never have to encounter the problem and who get no information about it from the media they consume. Campbell though has no excuse. He runs a current affairs podcast. It's his job to know what's going on in the world.

For many years, I admired JK Rowling for her creativity and hard work. It can’t be denied that she is a wonderful writer.
However, lately, I find that her antics on social media have gone too far (“Harry Potter fans turn on JK Rowling for goading David Tennant with ‘uncalled for’ swipe”, Tuesday 5 November)
Of course she is entitled to her own opinion – but the way in which she publicly criticises others is becoming increasingly spiteful, in my opinion. Often, I feel that she misrepresents people and what they said for her own agenda.
Her latest target has been David Tennant. The actor is famously an ally of the LGBTQ community and often voices his support for the trans community.
He has every right to criticise legislation that targets trans people, and I personally agree that Kemi Badenoch’s plans (which would redefine the legal definition of the term “sex” to mean biological sex) treat the community with little dignity or basic decency.

Unfortunately, Tennant’s support has put him on Rowling’s radar – and he is often in the firing line of her tweets.
It is a shame when those we admire sink so low.

For the love of God, the Archbishop must go​

Following a long-awaited and, crucially, independent review, we now know that a British barrister’s “horrific” violent abuse of more than 100 children was covered up within the Church of England for decades (“Report finds Church of England covered up ‘horrific’ abuse at summer camps decades ago”, Thursday 8 November).
In yet another example of the church prioritising its reputation above the children in its care, John Smyth was encouraged to leave the country for Zimbabwe without the police being told.
Smyth’s victims have asked for only one thing to recognise their pain and lifelong suffering – the resignation of Justin Welby. He has declined.
This weekend, the Church of England will again take stewardship of Remembrance commemorations. Rather than being given this unjustified privilege, it should be disestablished – and its many more dark secrets subjected to full police scrutiny.

Has American democracy had its day?​

It seems that Donald Trump’s racist, misogynistic, hate-mongering raves and rants embody what more than half of the adults in his country want (“How Trump forced his way back into the White House”, Wednesday 6 November).
I fear that the fervent self-entitlement of Maga supporters will continue to stain America’s ugly conscience long after the expiry of Trump’s second tenure; the moral decrepitude of his voters will stain many more election cycles to come.
A fair process has allowed a fascistic despot to rise from the dead despite having instigated an insurrection. We should now mourn the death of democracy as a social governance model.

​

The victory of Donald Trump is terrifying. Now, it is time for everyone who believes in decency, equality and fairness to prove it (“There is nothing inevitable – or permanent – about Trumpism 2.0”, Wednesday 6 November).
To ensure that we, too, do not lose our democracy completely, every MP must stand up for the rights and needs of their constituents, rather than toe a party line, or be bullied into a vote just to preserve leaders who fail to appreciate the views of the electorate.
At the moment Labour, with its ill-thought out policies, is enabling the next Conservative government to become even more right-wing. It would be a good start for our MPs to simply refuse Keir Starmer’s approach and fight for something stronger.
A true democracy does not look like a map of red or blue. If every MP acted as an independent, we would have a more accurate representation of a genuine democracy.

Maybe I'm a bit behind the times on my Newspeak, but what exactly is this Tublr level shit doing in the Independent? Is this the official line we're going with now, that 'sex' is meaningless?

It's just a letter. But I'm puzzled that there is a link in the letter. Was it put there by its author or a sub-editor? Anyway, magnificently, it links "sink so low" to an article about her single-handedly funding a new rape centre in Edinburgh. THE MONSTRESS.

treat the community with little dignity or basic decency.

That’s one of the things that has always got my goat about Troons and genderspecials ever since some blob creature implied I was ignorant for calling a tranny a tranny.

The whole moaning about treating them with respect!

Sorry, but respect is earned.
Putting on a dress or jeans and expecting everyone to indulge in your fantasy is not worthy of “respect.”

Now they have shifted that to “dignity and basic decency”.

The overwhelming fucking majority of people treat Troons and pooners with basic decency by more or less ignoring them like everyone does with pretty much every stranger all the time.

Maybe occasionally they get looks or stares, but that happens to anyone who is wearing something unusual by the surrounding standards or if they have an unfortunate deformity.
This is natural curiosity, it may make them uncomfortable, but there is very rarely hostile intent.
It’s still within the realms of basic decency.

Maybe they get harassed by kids or guys who have had a few to drink, but that happens to loads of people from time to time trooned out or not.

If they were getting spat on and pelted by braying mobs every time they went out for blåhaj, striped socks and earlobe stretchers, then fine, but outside of their heads, this basically never happens.

Your guy criticizes: cruel, uncalled for
My guy criticizes: a responsible use of free speech
I’m so tired of the hypocrisy. If you’re going to call one person out and then praise another person for the same thing one sentence apart then you have to address the substance of why they’re different. Of course, you can’t do that because Rowling is so clearly correct.

They deliberately dress up in garish, freakish bondage gear and act like complete perverts in public, to shock the cissies, then cry crocodile tears when people are disgusted by their deliberately repugnant behavior.

I care because apparently I'm supposed to worship this tiny amount of people and celebrate them, venerate them, etc etc. I don't want to think about them at all yet they are shoved down my throat.

And that’s a further example.

They mince around in public wearing articles that only just count as “clothing” as they are designed to be worn and people still don’t pepper spray them on sight.

If anything people confront them and explain that their attire is inappropriate and they should wear something suitable.

If that is not basic decency, I don’t know what is.

What happens when you say, "mum, are you OK with full grown men sporting erections in the locker room with teenage girls?"

 

[RonRiot]

“Kemi Badenoch’s plans (which would redefine the legal definition of the term “sex” to mean biological sex) treat the community with little dignity or basic decency.”

I’d love them to explain why describing a male as male in scenarios where sex is important to the discussion at hand is undignified or indecent. There is only a legal definition of sex at all because sex matters in terms of certain laws. If sex becomes something that you pick for yourself then it no longer matters in any meaningful way and we wouldn’t need any legal definition. Perhaps that’s the point.
They don’t seem to have a problem taking away the dignity of women by telling them their lived experience and legal needs are less important than maintaining male fantasies.

What happens when you say, "mum, are you OK with full grown men sporting erections in the locker room with teenage girls?"

”That never happens/ those men aren't really trans/ be kind!”

Adding to your point: It also matters in terms of medicine, healthcare and scientific research.

A real women will never need a prostate exam, because adult human females don't have that organ.

A trans "woman" will never need a screening for ovarian cancer, because adult human males don't have those organs.

Male and female heart attacks present differently because male and female hearts are different, not just in terms of size, but also in the thickness of it, particular parts of the heart. These differences that they might seem minute result in completely different symptom presentation between males and females during cardiac events. Females die because doctors are trained to recognize the symptoms of male heart attacks and might not even be familiar with the differences in female heart attacks. Women die needlessly because of this, they show up presenting female heart attack symptoms, and the doctor sends them away, because it doesn't look like a heart attack to him.

If trans women have their way, it would be completely banned to ever create sex specific diagnostic criteria for cardiac events. And scientists wouldn't be allowed to research it, because it might hurt trans feelings.

Sounds like another thing that Trans “women” will claim they do better than “cis” women.

“See! If I have a heart attack I will probably be saved by doctors, not like that cissy bitch!”

Spoiler: Off-topic PLing

I would prefer not to talk about men sporting erections in conversation with her if I can avoid it lol, but if I bring up AGP or the fetishization of womanhood or the widespread degeneracy among troons she gives me a kind of pitying look as though she's worrying she might see me on the news one of these days at a Westboro Baptist Church protest at somebody's funeral carrying a sign saying 'God hates fags' or something.

Again, I'm not blaming her, it's just that she is unaware of things which I am aware of, and that's because the information she receives about the world (on TV and so on) is passed through a pro-trans filter. She does say though that she wishes people would 'calm down' about the issue, which at least shows she's aware that TRAs are insane.

“Kemi Badenoch’s plans (which would redefine the legal definition of the term “sex” to mean biological sex) treat the community with little dignity or basic decency.”

Oh no. Being able to identify actual, real people instead of your imaginary genders or, heaven forbid, your suicide plan if everything eventually goes bellyup is offensive to you. Cry more. Please, cry so I can collect your tears and sell them on E-bay with the caption, "Dumb bitch tears." Best part, you can still be male or female under the convenient umbrella term bitch.

Remember, both MALE and FEMALE! YAY!

Epic. Also I totally agree. I too am a somewhat classical leftist, but I'm not willing to abandon the ideals that led me to that position to appease lunatics who have taken it over and turned it into batshit insanity. Sorry, I'm going to stick with my actual principles and not have them dictated to me by fucking zoomer retards who don't know jack-shit about anything.

I wonder if this is something that happens as you get older? Your politics change a little as you live life but the bigger change is the world changing around you? I am the same. If you’d asked me ten years ago I’d have said left of centre. I am all for workers rights, environmental protection (the real stuff) universal healthcare and all that. Free school meals, a safety net for the genuinely vulnerable. All that classical northern workers stuff.
And yet now I am considered a nazi because I don’t think humans change sex, and I think that mass immigration is dreadful, corporatism is cancer and we should probably have sovereignty over our borders and laws. It’s quite bizarre. I dont think either the modern left or the modern right represents me. Yet at the same time I think my views are pretty sensible (maybe everyone thinks their views are self evident?) why is there nobody I can vote for?

This is a really bad year for the trans community, Elon Musk is in full command of social media and his daughter's many attempts to hurt his feelings never amount to much, Trump won the erection, and JK Rowling remains rich, unbothered, and on track to make another Harry Potter entry that'll print money.
