J.K. Rowling accused of transphobia....
« on: June 10, 2020, 02:12:32 PM »
I'm sure if not for COVID and BLM this would be the dominating topic of the ms media given her incredible popularity.

This has happened a few times. I read somewhere that what causes this is her not differentiating between sex and gender.

Quotes in a signature is annoying, as it comes across as an independent post.

I was aware of it, and I'm not aware of everything that happens on Twitter.

I don't think I can express in words how humourous I find this.

What's so amusing about it?

(Something I do find amusing is how strange that headline must look to the uninitated.)

If it has to be explained it generally ceases to be humourous.

That's the problem.   You have to be initiated into the religion of Progressivity.

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

@CountValentine Have you ever seen a position stated so clearly?
I guess she isn't Jewish?

The Woke narrative has created this false dichotomy where if you don’t support trans people (or radical Islam) you’re transphobic (/Islamophobic)
