RantDefending JK Rowling in front of my friends
Posted September 20, 2024 by Reliquia in Women

Yesterday I was having a discussion over text with two friends about the ethics of being a billionaire (which was a fucking mess and left me feeling like shit tbh) and I mentioned that the only ethical thing to do as a billionaire would be donating tons of money until you no longer are. My friend told me that it would never happen and I said that I only know one person who did, and it was JKR.

The other friend instantly jumped to say that she is transphobic and all that, and said that she must have donated that money in order to clean her image. I played a bit dumb and said that she probably doesn't care that much about her image (if she did she wouldn't be defending women's rights like she is, but I didn't say that out loud).

They insisted that it had to be because of the transphobic tweets, so told them that I had just looked it up and she lost her status as a billionaire in 2012, but she only started saying transphobic stuff in 2018. The group chat went very quiet after that lol

Regarding the previous conversation, the one about billionaires... It was exhausting. My friend thinks that it wouldn't be selfish to hoard money that she will never uses because "she earned it" (we are talking billions), and she said that even if she saw someone dying of hunger next to her it wouldn't be unethical not to feed that person with her hypothetical billions of dollars. She felt insulted because I called billionaires selfish assholes. She said that 80K dollars per month wouldn't be enough for some people to live comfortably. I can't srsly 😭

If you comment, please avoid the usual "wHy ArE yOu StIlL fRiEnDs" please. I have a total of, like, 3 close people in my life. I have to make compromises

The writer of that play thinks transwomen are women so she can go pound sand.

I wonder if she really does?

Not that we can know

We finally got a chance to talk about ourselves and it's already gone

Talk of Vaginas made people uncomfortable because they were so dirty & gross. They should be hidden, not be talked about

….and then suddenly

Talk of Vaginas make people uncomfortable because they are so exclusionary & oppressive. They should be hidden, not be talked about

Except in porn. Then vaginas are fine, always was, always will be. Just they have to be called something degrading. And lesbians must have one. Sorry bedicked women. Men don’t have to see dicks they don’t want to see
