JK Rowling’s latest book is about a murderous cis man who dresses as a woman to kill his victims - Discuss all the JK Rowling tranny shit here

[Troonwhisperer]

900 pages? Good enough for me, I will read it. If there are some spicy takes (I doubt, however, that JK Rowling will risk that. She is aware that the troon hate mob follows every step she takes) I might post them here.

"But Harry you simply can't change gender" whined Snape, "you need the essence of Faggeto Hermaphrodituis." Harley replied "Don't dead name me you pure blood bigot."

God, she's beyond based. I'm gonna buy this book and I guess we'll see if her writing for adults is any good.

I haven't been following based J.K. lately. Has she lost her spine and apologized to these faggots, or is she still resolute in her belief that men aren't women?

She has doubled, tripled, and quadrupled down and shows absolutely no signs of stopping. She has fuck you money and private security. She is uncancellable and seems to be determined to take full advantage of it.

They're calling her She Who Should Not Be Named? Did these idiots read Harry Potter? I haven't read the books since I was a literal child and even I remember that the books made a huge point to say that refusing to call Voldemort by his actual name was both retarded and actually gave his name/message/etc more power than it deserved. How the fuck you gonna be a rabid HP fan and not know the books at least as well as random non-fans on the internet?

I don't even read books these days but now I'm pondering if I should get this one just to spite all the nutjobs in Rowling's twitter mentions. I bought the Heartbeat game immediately when the dev and her girlfriend TERFed out on social media.

Same. They made it 41% off how was any red-blooded shitposter supposed to resist? It shot their little-known game to the top of the Steam bestseller list too

J.K. Rowling’s Pen Name Is Also the Name of an Anti-LGBTQ+ Conversion Therapist

After the Harry Potter author was met with near-universal condemnation for a series of transphobic tweets, some ingenious Twitter sleuths revealed that Rowling’s pen name, “Robert Galbraith,” also happens to be the name of an infamous conversion therapist. The connection picked up steam on Tuesday shortly after Daniel Radcliffe, who plays the title character in the film series based on Rowling’s books, condemned her anti-trans comments in a statement for The Trevor Project.

Rowling wrote The Cuckoo’s Calling, a 2013 detective novel that would be the first in a four-book series known collectively as Cormoran Strike, under a male alias, Robert Galbraith. After Robert Galbraith was revealed to be a pseudonym for Rowling, the author claimed the inspiration for the name was a combination for the late Robert F. Kennedy and “Ella Galbraith,” a name she made up for herself in her youth.

“I don’t know why,” Rowling wrote in a statement posted on the fictional Robert Galbraith’s website at the time. “I don’t even know how I knew that the surname existed, because I can’t remember ever meeting anyone with it. Be that as it may, the name had a fascination for me.”

But perhaps coincidentally, Robert Galbraith Heath is also the name of a mid-20th century psychiatrist who pioneered a range of practices that would later be known as conversion therapy. During his tenure as chair of the department of psychiatry and neurology at Tulane University in New Orleans, one of his signature treatments was the usage of electroshock treatments to “cure” gay men of their same-sex attractions.

According to a 2016 profile on Heath published in Mosaic Science, the procedure involved the implantation of “stainless steel, Teflon-coated electrodes into nine separate regions” of patients’ brains, an intensive operation that resulted in “wires leading back out of” an individual’s skull.

With the device in place, patients were able to send a “one-second jolt to the brain area” of their choosing. The momentary spark induced an “almost overwhelming euphoria and elation,” according to a paper published on Heath’s research.

Heath then screened heterosexual pornography to rewire the subject’s brain to associate opposite-sex pleasure with arousal. One man, referred to solely as “B-19” in writings, reportedly “would hit the button up to 1,500 times over a three-hour session” and “protested each time the unit was taken from him, pleading to self-stimulate just a few more times.”

The research team then paid a sex worker $50 to engage in intercourse with the subject in the dark, concluding the experiment to be a success.

Heath would remain chair of the department from 1949 until 1980, an era in which these kinds of experiments on LGBTQ+ people were common. Homosexuality wasn’t declassified as a mental illness by the American Psychiatric Association until 1973, and the group replaced the term “gender identity disorder” with the less stigmatizing “gender dysphoria” in 2012.

As psychiatry has caught up to the general public’s acceptance of LGBTQ+ people, experiments like those Heath conducted have been condemned as harmful and ineffective by the APA, along with groups like the American Medical Association and American Counseling Association.

Conversion therapy, meanwhile, has been banned in 20 U.S. states and countries like Albania, Argentina, Germany, and Malta. The U.K., where Rowling takes up residence, is preparing its own push to outlaw orientation change efforts.

The connection between Rowling’s pen name and a practice that the United Nations compared to torture is likely an unfortunate bit of happenstance, with several Twitter users noting that Robert Galbraith is a fairly common name. However, one critic noted that a key plot line in The Silkworm — the second novel in the Cormoran Strike series — includes a trans character “being threatened with prison rape.”

Contributor Katelyn Burns described the scene in detail in a 2018 op-ed for them.

“In the scene, a trans woman, Pippa, follows and tries to stab the protagonist, Cormoran Strike, before getting trapped in Strike’s office. After demanding Pippa’s ID, her trans status is revealed and her visible Adam’s apple is noted, while it's noted that her hands were jammed in her pockets,” she wrote at the time.

Burns reported that Pippa attempts to leave “several times” and Strike stops her.

“If you go for that door one more time I’m calling the police and I’ll testify and be glad to watch you go down for attempted murder. And it won’t be fun for you Pippa,” Strike tells her. “Not pre-op.’”

Rowling has yet to respond to the links between her alias and conversion therapy or criticism over her original remarks. On Saturday, she tweeted that the “lived reality of women globally is erased” when trans and nonbinary people are permitted to define their gender for themselves.

“I know and love trans people, but erasing the concept of sex removes the ability of many to meaningfully discuss their lives,” she wrote, conflating the concepts of sex and gender. “It isn’t hate to speak the truth.”

Rowling, a normally frequent Twitter poster, has not tweeted from her official account in three days. During that time, her remarks were met with criticism by the Human Rights Campaign and GLAAD, as well notable LGBTQ+ public figures like poet and activist Alok Vaid-Menon and model Munroe Bergdorf.

And the e-begging resurfaces.

Honestly, i'm very happy she is standing by her beliefs and by "beliefs" I mean, common sense and not absolutely delusion and lunacy. I think so much of this delusion that "trans-women are women" and not biologically male it's such a spit in the face of women everywhere and especially women that advocate and work with women's rights. They also ignore science like religious fanatics.

 

[NimertiS]

Time to spill thy degeneracy, but you will agree that this is comically comical at this minuteness. But damn is she mommy as fuck these days. Too bad she never had kids to pass on her legacy of ebik trolling of the troon squads, but maybe Robbie Coltraine can tame her dragon.

Spoiler: don't go into the living room

Now to ruin my life even further by wanting to make an audiobook of this, 900 fucking pages baby.

She has three kids

It's way more idiotic than that. The last book revealed that Voldemort cast a spell on his own name that would alert him every time anyone said it and used it to track everyone brave enough to actually resist him. It was a very dumb twist.

J.K. Rowling’s Pen Name Is Also the Name of an Anti-LGBTQ+ Conversion Therapist

article

oh yes, top quality journalism right there
never mind the fact she's from Edinburgh, and Galbraith is a common name in southern Scotland that's been around at least 800 years; no, she definitely named herself after some quack psychiatrist who's completely unknown on this side of the Atlantic

This spell sounds absolutely ripe for a DDOS attack.

 

[Exceptionally Exceptional]

You know, I wonder if it works to J.K's benefit that her most famous work is targeted towards a group of people who don't really give a fuck about identity politics and will consume her works regardless of how hard mommy, daddy, and mommy's boyfriend are sperging about J.K on Twitter.

 

[Bunny Tracks]

I mean, I don't know why the book has to be 900 pages, but good for her, I guess.

 

[Angry New Ager]

...Wasn't JK Rowling a progressive at one point?

I would say she's still a progressive, except on this one point.

Feminism has always been one of the pillars of progressivism, with the trans movement only gaining serious ground and becoming another pillar within the last 15 years (and especially in the last five). But they're incompatible ideologies in fundamental ways, with many trans "rights" eroding gains women have made, and even subordinating women to trans interests in ways that go counter to feminist principles. It's to the point where the interests of men who merely claim to be women have taken precedence over the interests of actual women.

So anybody who wants to remain a "good" progressive" (especially if they're a woman) faces a tremendous amount of cognitive dissonance. And on top of that, feminism's position as one of the pillars of progressivism has been eroded and in-filled with a lot of gender studies garbage that would like to do away with the concept of "woman" entirely.

So what's a female progressive to do? Continue to live with a massive amount of cognitive dissonance? Or realize, "Hey, wait--these two ideologies cannot co-exist, so I have to pick one and defend it over the other"?

The overwhelming majority of female progressives seem to be doing the former; JK Rowling has done the latter. I'm sure she's still dedicated to other progressive ideologies that don't come into such blatant and irremediable conflict with her feminism, but on this one point, she's drawn a line.

However, her fellow progressives don't allow that. You have to take the entire ideological combo platter--no substitutions, no ordering a la carte--and you have to eat and enjoy everything on it in equal measure. And if there's anything on the platter you don't like, or find sick-making, or even think might be toxic? Well, that's entirely your failing, and you need to do the work necessary to make it appetizing and nutritious.

JK Rowling may have expressed her dislike for the disgusting, poisonous mess that is trans ideology, but that doesn't mean she's not savoring everything else on the progressive combo platter.

ETA:

This is from Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets.

That was written before idpol took over and is a pretty good indication she was written to be white.

Hermione is high yellow, y'all. She got that light skin, but not the good hair.

I'm just shocked that she's not being blamed for plagiarizing a 4chan greentext story, also-

So who are the suspects?

[homewayhalf]

I didn’t see the Hermione thing as retconning, just saying she didn’t give a shit if people wanted to picture Hermione as black. I think a lot of the time JKR is in “kidspeak” mode where she assumes she’s addressing kids who HP is targeted at instead of a bunch of millennials in arrested development.

Based!
I wonder how many active serial killers are actually using this tactic.
Still this is great it's an art to trend because of pissed off npcs.

Seeing how the pretend world is super important for troons, not being able to conciliate their favorite author's ideology with their own must be a living hell.

Hell, kids borrowing Harry Potter books from the library because their parents made them into forbidden fruit might make the books a bit relevant again.
