I find it hypocritical. You sound like one of those freaks that thinks gay rights mean less rights for straights. We know what sex means but we also know that sex is different than gender, because we’re smart. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PoetsTryinWrite 1,262 Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 Look, I agree that gender dysphoria is complex and that not everybody who reports symptoms should automatically be placed on hormones and scheduled for reassignment surgery, but come on, Jo. Because it is so complex I truly believe that it is a discussion that should only occur between a healthcare professional and someone who is transgender. It is not a public debate. Of course society needs to make considerable adjustments to ensure the equality, dignity, privacy and civil rights are protected for transgender people, but their participation, activities and daily needs in society should not be up for individual discussion. This is downright discrimination. Jo is massively misguided on this subject. She seems to keep confusing the experience of transgender people with the culture of gender nonconformity. This is entirely different from dysphoria. Wikipedia says; According to the American Psychiatric Association, the critical element of gender dysphoria is "clinically significant distress". People of GGD, I urge you to stand up and protect your fellow transgender users, even if you don’t personally agree with their decisions. I think many of us know how it feels to be marginalised and discriminated against for things that are beyond our control. The evil is not J.K. Rowling. The true evil is staying silent when powerful people attack vulnerable groups. Speak up. Defend your humanity. Defend Your Humanity. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is it because when she spoke about sex the trans community felt excluded and painted her a transphobic? So much for being “smart”. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

She said nothing about gender because she choses to ignore it, because it doesn't fit her narrative. Literally no one said sex is not a thing. She keeps saying trans activists are trying to erase sex, which is not true. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That should be common sense. She literally said this in the same series of tweets just so her intention wouldn’t be taken out of context: “I respect every trans person’s right to live any way that feels authentic and comfortable to them. I’d march with you if you were discriminated against on the basis of being trans.” I’m not one to tolerate bs and I’ll call a spade a spade, whoever found this offensive wanted to feel offended. The victim-mentality isn’t a healthy mindset to experience the world in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

She supports trans people, she defeinitely doesn't hate them - she just thinks she's arguing a technically point. You don't have to agree with everything a groups wants in order to be an ally. She doesn't have hate in her heart - she just will not listen, or at very least shut up. This is TRUE. The comments are horrifying - that's when I saw there was a real problem with what she's doing. I’ve never seen a more fitting username attached to a comment on this site. Yikes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The victim-mentality isn’t a healthy mindset to experience the world in. She wrote an essay describing transgender-ism as a youth PANDEMIC that’s fueled by autism and internalized homophobia (ie gay people rather have gender reassignment surgery so they can pass as “straight”). JK Rowling and anyone who defends her are transphobic garbage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The victim-mentality isn’t a healthy mindset to experience the world in. Those with gender dysphoria are already mentally distressed. What she is saying from her position of power is irresponsible and dangerous as it incites the targeting of vulnerable individuals which yes, inevitably creates a victim-mentality. Victims tend to feel that way. Defend Your Humanity. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
