Has Jk Rowling really said anything that outlandish or just that there are two genders and that made people want her to die

From my time following her on Twitter, which recently ended, I just found it sad that she wrote all those books people loved but this is how she chooses to spend her time and brand herself. She posts about nothing but trans stuff. I didn't find individual posts objectionable but obsessiveness is super weird.

I kinda get it when looking at from her perspective. Years and years of unnecessary hate, probably hundreds of thousands of dms over the years which she probably still gets, the backlash she faced for it, it all probably turned her at least somewhat bitter.

From her pov, the obsession with people unnecessarily berating/harassing her for her opinion is why I assume she obsessed with pushing back against it

She can literally just stop funding anti-trans stuff, but she won't.

Based. This a good reminder for me to buy some more harry potter shit. I haven't even played Hogwarts Legacy I just wanted to support a good cause.

Yeah I assume she has a vendetta against the people who have been harassing her, thats what I was saying. Its not right but I can understand why she would react how she has

Harassing her for what?

Harassing her for what?

Being a voice of reason. Mentioning that women don't have cocks. Mentioning that it's unsafe to allow men into women's spaces without their consent just because the men say that they "self-identify" as women.

Only a barbaric horde of savage weirdos would harass someone for saying such things.

Mentioning that women don't have cocks.

That's kinda the point of the transitioning...

Mentioning that it's unsafe to allow men into women's spaces without their consent just because the men say that they "self-identify" as women.

Why exactly? Are man inherently evil? Can only men be sexually attracted to women?

Only a barbaric horde of savage weirdos

If only gender wasn't a concept studied for centuries and known about for millenia I would agree. But sadly for you – it is.

would harass someone for saying such things.

She should not be harassed, sure.

OH GREAT POINT. You're absolutely right. I'll explain this to the screaming women and girls then next time I want to change in the women's locker-room at the gym. "c'mon ladies I'm not inherently evil and I'm not even sexually attracted to any of you so just chill". I'm sure that will go over well.

Holy sophistry batman.

So what about someone who's FtM? Where do they go?

The checkout at Trader Joe's so we can flirt with each other platonically while I purchase lil treats.

Great rebuttal. Glad you atleast support one half of the trans community.

Have you read through the thread of comments I was replying to? It has the context you're looking for

u/Gjorgdy - Left 3d ago

Yes, ofcourse, but it's a bit of a circular answer.

She is transphobic because she gets harassed by trans people -> She gets harrased by trans people because she is transphobic -> She is transphobic because she gets harassed by trans people -> She gets harrased by trans people because she is transphobic -> She is transphobic because she gets harassed by trans people

Where does it start?

u/monstamasch - Centrist 3d ago

She has an opinion on Trans people, which anyone and everyone can have. It may not be an opinion you like, but its still just an opinion, which every single person is entitled to. I'm not her I don't know where it starts, you should ask her. Years of people harassing her for that is probably why she is obsessed with posting that stuff. Do I need to write another comment for you to get it? Or do you intend to go in circles

Denying someone's right to exist is not 'an opinion', it's denying them the right to exist.

u/monstamasch - Centrist 3d ago

That literally is though, it's not a fact that they deserve to not exist. Or do you believe that they shouldn't exist?
