She really isn't that bright. She even fell for biotrans bait and believed it was real. Furthermore, she thought her selfies with the deranged stare would help her win an argument. For a lawyer, her debate skills are shit.
I can imagine her law firm would have her represent other rainbow people who fell out with their employers, though. If I was working in HR and she would waltz in, I would quickly settle out of court just to get away from her unpleasant presence and avoid the drama and accusations of transphobia. However now, that just being trans has lost its lustre and companies are more likely to just fire annoying people of pronouns, her usefulness to her firm has probably diminished considerably.
She was never idiosyncratic or interesting enough to warrant her own thread and I don't think that'll change.
Yeah well call yourself "James" all you like, my cock is still going up your vagina and I'm still calling you a slutty little fuck whore while I fuck you in your pussy and rape you and totally misgender you just to add to the fun.
She has her own practice. I think she does criminal law.
If anyone doubts that she was a pooner. She was on Kiwi Farms.
Some lolcow hate.
Other cows like Matt Myers hates her for being a transmedicalist. Fat bald men hate transmedicalists because he can't hide behind the troon label for being a sex pest.
I'm still having problems imagining her behaving appropriately in a court of law and definetly wouldn't hire her as my defence attorney, since I would expect her to frequently melt down. But maybe that's just me.
I guess its because why make him ride a surf board with the trans colors for a pride month poster? If he isn't canonically trans then why bait people with it? Especially when the show already has a canon TIM character on it.
Is that an under-boob branding? Getting one will be traumatic no matter how much you signed up for it yourself. It will define your identity for a while, especially if your life is empty to start with. And you can't show it off because your tits are in the way, so best get rid of the tits, being trans is still in and will get you the attention your BPD mind craves.
I'm not saying she is not a rape victim, but I mean it is not necessarily a requirement.

Cool, thanks. Fascinating to see that while we Kiwi farmers had her on the radar for a while, none of us went after her livelihood, but the troons immediately did. Just goes to show that the worst the TRAs fraudulently accuse us of is just what they do at the drop of a hat to anybody in their sights.
They keep saying they need a "kiwifarms on the left", but if they would behave like us, they would have to dial back their behaviour and be less hateful.
"insisting that you need to transition to be trans" IT'S IN THE FUCKING WORD. I swear people just utter sounds like parrots and can't comprehend what they're actually saying. Trans-what if not trans-ition-ing? Trans-cendent? Trans-lucent? If trans-gender is literally trans-gender and not a portmanteau of transitioned-gender, then you and gender-critical are literally the same fucking thing. You're both beyond-gender.
Healing? You're being overly optimistic here. This woman is in her 40's and has been displaying signs of a major personality disorder for as long as she's had an online presence. The disordered thought or behavioral patterns ain't going away just because she's discovered her current religion is a huge pile of bullshit. She will find another "cause" to glom onto (vocal "detransitioner, I'm guessing?) and repeat the cycle of ideation/devaluation like all basic borderline bitches do. She has no stable self-perception or sense of identity.
I hope JK Rowling chooses not to associate with this The Pissed Off Lawyer person beyond some Twitter platitudes, because the latter is just so unstable and prone to erupting in any given direction. She's quite literally a loose cannon. She's not Maya Forstater (the woman JK initially got in trouble with the troon squad for supporting) or Helen Joyce. She's not even a groomed autistic girl whose life was ruined by being fast-tracked onto the trans train like Keira Bell or Chloe Cole. If I was to predict "Pissed Off Lawyer's" detransition trajectory, I think she resembles the psycho who goes by "Cluniac" more than anyone else.
I predict a future "retransition" arc after she has a fall-out with one or more public TERFs, because there is no way The Pissed Off Lawyer can separate the merit of an idea as such from the people who propagate it. A cluster B in affect simply does not have that ability. I hope the TERFs grey-rock her, because she is not worth the fallout of such an entanglement.
I don't think she's what we would call a barrister, but she might be quite a thorough attorney in whichever area of law she practices. Women often are.
There's a large contingent of one sex who are adamant in their insistence that any negative behaviour they engage in is ipso facto not their fault. Many such cases.

It’s not tragic in the same vein as abuse but it’s kinda of sad. Since the mid 2000’s, having a yaoi phase in middle/highschool isn’t uncommon among anime nerd girls, and they used to snap out of it.
This is something I've been thinking too; it might have been earlier than the 2000s. Some kind of synchronicity: shamelessly pasting something I wrote in the "Random Trans Thoughts" thread here, where it belongs:
People are really quick to dismiss or oversimplify the female half of online fandom, when it's really complex socially.
It sounds really stupid to say, but back in the day someone could RP at great length as a male character and still be a woman, with RP partners who were other women doing the exact same thing, and it was just... understood that everyone was playing the game like that?
In all-female online RP communities, especially fandom, one little-discussed reason it's all yaoi is because how come you get to be the girl character. Even OC communities look askance at joining with only female characters, because they tend to be Mary Sues, and because how dare you have a female character to play house with the one female user who writes great male characters playing your husband.
No this does not make objective sense; I'm just reporting. The other reasons stand: writing male sexual function safely distances you while allowing emotional connection, gay persecution = more angst to add drama.
I feel like anyone studying online fandom and fantasy in young women needs to review the Parker-Hulme murder case, the one Heavenly Creatures was based off of, where two alienated teenage girls developed and cowrote stories about an imaginary kingdom and RP'd as the characters in person and in writing, getting closer and closer to each other with the high of a shared fantasy.
How many groups of adolescent girls, in modern history but pre-Internet, have created shared fantasy worlds like that, and we just don't know because it was never written down (and also they didn't kill anyone)? Those two were highly motivated and talented--one became an author as an adult--but now with the Internet, there are much lower barriers to finding another weird girl, or stumbling into a whole fandom or RP group that can become a shared delusion. Some people grow out of the phase and keep fond memories and an improved WPM; some people start the Final Fantasy House.
If Parker and Hulme had been born 70 years later, someone would have pooned out.
I've been thinking about Pauline Parker (or was it Rieper? She's been mentioned under both surnames) and Juliet Hulme as well in relation to modern "fandom" communities, because they do make for an interesting parallel. They were quite literally half a century ahead of time. The dynamic is interesting, too; Juliet, who was clearly the dominant and more aggressive personality, roleplayed as the female lead, while the more common and "homely" Pauline was relegated to playing male characters that courted and lavished endless attention on Juliet's "princess" OC. Their stories were essentially "bodice ripper" pulp fiction.
Pre-internet it would have been nigh impossible for two such individuals to find each other IRL, but with online "fandom spaces" girls who have this particular tendency toward fantasy and escapism can speed-run the Parker-Hulme dynamic within months or even weeks.
Parents weren't married but were living together as husband and wife, but this only came out in the trial. I believe she had been publicly using her father's name, Rieper, but legally her surname was Parker.

Exactly this! Reading in-depth on the case, or finding a better-made true crime video about them, the girls' dynamic "hits hard," as the kids say, for anyone who's been a weird girl on the Internet, or known any. Dreamwidth could have saved them; when you can RP while a hundred miles apart, a lot fewer parents get murdered.
I really wish someone who's well-versed in fandom culture/history would notice this and make the comparison better known, but I suppose the best we could hope for is a thread in Lolcows of History. Maybe Strange Aeons.
Peter Jackson did a pretty decent job with the movie, despite the handicap of being a man, only having 90 minutes, and having to show-not-tell their relationship and their shared universe.

Yeah, no kidding it hits hard. I'm a 70's kid myself, and I was a tomboy, so naturally I was into the same stuff that boys my age were into (read: Star Wars, Christopher Reeve Superman, Terminator to name a few) and whenever we played, I too wanted to be the "cool" male protagonist because they got to do all the action stuff and not just wait around to be rescued. I've thought a lot about how different things would have been if the internet had existed when I was a kid, or if I'd met another girl in my social circle who was into the same shit and was also creative in a way that my male playmates (nor myself) were not. Thinking back on it, it likely would have hindered my development and made me more introverted.
I'm convinced that if I had been born 30 years later, some groomer would have sunk their hooks into me and planted the idea that I was really a boy because I liked "boy stuff". I've been thinking a lot about if and if so, when, there was a definitive shift in our culture (online and by extension, real life) that started encouraging escapism as a lifestyle rather than a coping mechanism. Troonism is nothing but 24-7 escapism on steroids. I never got into online roleplaying games, probably because I was already an adult when internet became a thing (I was an early adopter, tho; got it in '97).
