RAMROD 104,861 Posted May 14, 2024 Share Posted May 14, 2024 British author J.K. Rowling continued to battle with progressives on social media, asking those who oppose her transphobia whether she could call herself Black if she got into Motown music and wore her hair in cornrows. Rowling, who has devoted most of her social media presence this past year to attacking transgender rights, wrote a post on X this past weekend calling a trans woman soccer manager a “middle-aged bloke.” The trans woman never even interacted with Rowling and did nothing to provoke her response and the ensuing harassment she received from Rowling’s millions of followers. “Women are under no obligation to applaud the people caricaturing us,” she wrote. Trans men and women do not caricature cis men and women; they are men and women, respectively. Jonathan Chait of New York magazine responded to Rowling by telling her it’s “basic decency” to “call people what they want to be called.” “Stop telling women what they’re allowed to say, Jonathan. It’s basic decency,” Rowling responded. Another X user named Landon Best told Rowling that she is the one telling trans women “that they’re not allowed to call themselves women, even though they are,” and then threw Rowling’s argument back at her. That’s when Rowling decided to compare being trans to blackface – an argument common to white anti-trans activists – and brought in some stereotypes of what it means to be Black. “Does this apply to any other demographic, Landon?” Rowling asked. “Do I get to be black if I like Motown and fancy myself in cornrows? What if I claim the authentic me has always been black and that you’re being racist to me? Would that be OK, or would you find it ludicrous and deeply offensive?” https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2024/05/jk-rowling-slammed-for-asking-if-she-can-be-black-if-she-likes-motown-fancy-myself-in-cornrows/ (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ✧*:・゚ 𝒮𝓀𝒾𝓅𝓅𝒾𝓃𝑔 𝒻𝒶𝓈𝓉 𝓇𝒾𝑔𝒽𝓉 𝒶𝓇𝑜𝓊𝓃𝒹 𝓉𝒽𝑒 𝓂𝑜𝑜𝓃 (*´艸`*) ♡♡♡ 4 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

River 106,308 Posted May 14, 2024 Share Posted May 14, 2024 I think baiting her to say things like these is actually a good strategy, the more you bait her and make her angry, she starts to say even shittier things. She's racist, when u dig deep down HP and the POC characters, you see how she treated them with a lot of prejudice. His fart felt like a kiss 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SharGaga 2,906 Posted May 14, 2024 Share Posted May 14, 2024 This transphobe needs to get banned from GGD just like ATRL. It's clear at this point that she feeds off the attention. The best thing would be not to give a transphobe a platform on this website. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Illuminati 15,808 Posted May 14, 2024 Share Posted May 14, 2024 8 hours ago, Westerosi said: So she believes trans men are men and trans women are women, but hates it when they say it out loud? Or only hates it when they put the word 'trans' in front of it? No the bit you respond to isn't in quotations, that's an editors description of what being trans means to trans people. Joanne doesn't even pretend to support any form of transness anymore, she's calling all of it a blackface Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
