PartySick 160,375 Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 Can y'all chill with the death wishes please. We can all agree she and people like her are vile and the world would be a better place without them, but let's keep our karma intact Most of us (hopefully all of us) will outlive her. Take comfort in that and use the energy you would have spent spitting on this gross woman to say something supportive about the trans community You're stinky Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They literally fuel themselves on hatred. This is very true My grandmother used to be fairly liberal for her age… then when her health deteriorated and she started using a laptop in bed most of the time and it’s turned her into one of those crazy, right-wing racists.  It’s horrible to see because she was extremely understanding of other races, my sexuality etc but now she’s just a mean, nasty woman. How on earth she’s still alive I don’t know, she’s been practically bed bound for ten years surviving off spite for the world.

whoresup 2,711 Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 My worry is that trans rights and awareness of trans issues were coming on such a long way about 6-7 years ago and I fear that there’s a concerted effort by parts of the media to tear the trans community back down. Trans people were finally being recognised and celebrated on a larger scale and these parts of the media clearly weren’t happy about that. So I feel they are now trying to run this narrative that trans/nb people are a threat to the rights of cis-women in order to generate fear and division. This is incredibly dangerous for the safety of all types of trans people, please protect your LGBTQ+ friends and family. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And implying that it was our fault she’s so hateful? Wonder what he thinks about this? anyway, she’s trash, through-and-through  Twitter should give her the Kanye treatment  That user had a point, though. Although, I don't think it is right to blame a specific community for it. It's more about the results of the current climate on social media and in society. I absolutely believe that Rowling's radicalisation is partly caused by the hate she got when this first started. She was wrong and transphobic from the get go - there is no doubt in that - but I don't believe that her initial comments were intentionally vile, hurtful and downright evil like they are now. I would like to believe she was uneducated. A person, like many conservatives, that would need more time to change their view... I wouldn't listen either if thousands of people started to send me extremely hateful comments and even death threats Anyway, when the hate started to happen, she was quickly pushed deeper and deeper in the dark hole... And found a community in TERF's and the extreme-right. So, yeah, this is not to support nor blame any party, just my insights into how social processes nowadays work on social media imo and what further harm they can cause without people realizing it. But I wonder sometimes if this all could have been prevented if someone had reached out to hear to educate her with a more positive tone..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not 'spoon-feeding', it's guiding someone - step by step - to listen, learn and educate themselves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not just kids who get brainwashed, but yeah she should know better being what I thought was an intelligent person. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
