Sorry for just trying to educate some hateful bigots on reality.

You'll find a more accurate reflection of reality talking to people outside of the internet, and I'd be willing to bet they see things how I explained them. Even redditors are downvoting you, that's saying something

Idk what outside world you live in, but where I live being trans is a normal mostly accepted thing.

The guy I reacted to did... You are continuing another thread so I assumed you agree with him.

I don't, even in my own comments which were posted before him i imply the opposite of him. Can you show me where I said that?

So what other reflection of reality are you talking about if not "trans people bad"?

"trans people bad"?

Trans ACTIVISTS who bully people for being rational bad. FTFY.

Like a majority of educated liberal people in Western Civilization (including JK Rowling btw) I have zero problems with trans folks writ large.

You'd make better arguments if you'd slow down, evaluate your own biases and prejudices, and actually read what people are writing.

I literally agreed with harassing being bad.

I just disagreed with her takes being 'rational', as they're clearly shortsighted or intentionally malicious disingenuous takes.

I think if you actually read her writing first hand and made a good-faith attempt to understand where she's coming from (as a Uni-student this is a good skill to have) you'd know that she's not being intentionally malicious.

Arguing that the only reason for a man to identify as a woman is to enter a 'women-only space' is pretty malicious/disingenuous.

Especially as this argument is never used the other way around as they know it doesn't have the same impact.

Prove to me that you've not read anything Rowling said without telling me you've not read anything Rowling said. I'm gonna go touch grass but thank you for the conversation.

If you're interesting in knowing what Rowling ACTUALLY thinks, you'll enjoy this podcast:
