I'll go first:
-Lesbians are female homosexuals, aka females exclusively attracted to other females
-The term genital preference erases sexual orientation
-Lesbians are not sexually fluid
-Comphet doesn't make lesbians enjoy sleeping with men (if sex does happen, it's traumatic)
-Goldstars are slammed WAY more than non-goldstars
I'm sure I'm missing a bunch. Do you guys have anymore?
I never could have hoped that that fine day she fired her initial controversial tweet that she would continue to go guns blazing over and over again.
Not to get overly emotional but thinking truly deeply about a woman with worldwide popularity knowing she’s going to be made into a witch but continuing to just wipe the flung shit off and keep talking is enough to make me tear up.
Do you remember when prior to all this JKR had to pretend her “finger slipped” in a “middle-aged moment”? As if some cloak of bafflement and stupidity descends the moment one turns 40? (If anything, it’s the opposite).
This is so much better.
I love this polite but scorched earth approach she's taking. She's the hero we need.
I tell men who call me "cunt" or the like that they can't insult me with words, however crude, the refer to my own fabulous anatomy. Shuts 'em right up.
This is from 2017 people, lol, it says "5 years ago" at the top
Yeah it says that pretty clearly at the top of the page, but it was never implied this was a thing she wrote recently.
I fucking love her.
My 8-year-old niece is super into Harry Potter and her favourite character is Hermione. My sister hinted that she thinks JK Rowling is a "terf," although she hasn't stopped her daughter from reading the Harry Potter books or enjoying the fandom. So I bought my niece book 6 and a badass Hermione poster for Christmas lol. JKR did base Hermione on herself, after all. As far as role models go, she's a pretty damn good one.
omg I love her so much. She pretty much nailed every Reddit "liberal" male to the wall with that one. SO ON POINT.
Okay, so, I wasn't really on board with the whole "JK is GC (or more importantly a radfem)" mentality just because she disagrees with gender, but this has pretty much completely changed my view. I know now that she isn't just talking about gender in all her "rows", but is aware of a bigger overall issue. None of this is meant to imply I thought JK was ignorant, or this community in stanning her too much, or anything like that.
E: I know that this article is old, but this is the first time I heard her mention anything about it, so it's new to me.
I love this. TRAs poked the sleeping feminist bear too many times. Now she has run out of fucks to give and is going full scorched earth! I love to see it! 🔥
Also, as someone who has worked in leftie non-profits, EVERYTHING she says about hypocritical male "liberals" is fucking true! I leaned very right wing for a while in my 20s because none of the men I encountered on the right were half as violently misogynistic as the "male feminists" i worked with. And this trans issue has served to illuminate that problem even further
I love her so much. I wish there was a way I could let her feel all the love and pride I feel for her.
You're not kidding this is epic. Clearly she has no patience left for assholes, and what a wonderful bit of light to have at this time of year, let alone all the other crazy going on!
It's from 2017
I couldn’t see that originally, but it’s still okay. In fact, that’s even better, it’s so rare for real life heroes to be truly consistent over time. I am delighted to revise my estimation of JKR’s character to an even higher level. : )
I think she's just had enough of all of their bullshit. It's truly wonderful and I really wish I enjoyed her writing. lol.
This is great.
I have to say, as someone who just saw a childhood hero of mine aka Wonder Woman herself Lynda Carter tweet that she passionately stands with the people who think I'm a bad person for not only committing the crime of thinking that rape victims are more important than the feelings of their assaulter, but also for being a lesbian who is attracted only to women, I'm so thankful for Rowling being pretty much the only childhood hero left that hasn't condemned me.
Carter might have gotten the opportunity to play the iconic character, but Rowling's support for me and my sisters makes her the Wonder Woman to me.
If it makes you feel better, many celebrities--especially older ones who wouldn't be on social media otherwise--have someone else managing their accounts. And they make deals to be paid to tweet certain things.
Interesting! Now that you say it, I do actually remember it was revealed that George Takai's Twitter account is actually run by some faux-woke group whose specific job it is to maintain politically correct and progressive online presences for their clients in order to keep them relevant.
I found it so baffling. George has to be in his 80s now and I just can't fathom why he cares so much about what kids think about him.
presumably it earns them some kind of income, I don't understand exactly how, but they have agents who handle all of that. He's got a big web presence and maybe it impacts some of the popularity of work he's done before, if he's not still doing occasional gigs.
His account is paint by numbers politically correct but it has a lot of followers, kind of like "upworthy" or some of those 'we're here to agree' type outlets...
Considering the homophobia that most wokesters and TRAs possess, they probably think he's actually a transwoman "in denial".
This is ridiculous.
This. Most older celebrities don't do their own Twitter. Its either their PR company, some intern, or a grandchild
Lynda Carter was one of my first female crushes :(
