Live and let live etc. But there are others who like nothing better than to bully and “cancel” from university debates etc those that don’t agree with their views on gender. Take for example the bile meted out to JK Rowling, for her (commonly held) views on this issue. Many others have suffered similarly. The JK Rowling who whines persistently when a hospital decides to use gender-neutral language but is astonishingly silent when her new-found right-wing friends start taking away women's actual sex-based rights such as reproductive healthcare and the right for lesbian parents to be on the birth certificate? Yeah real star that one. Just to clarify, you're suggesting that deplatforming bigots is what makes people hate trans folk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When faced with a difficult choice or a moral dilemma, I often ask myself WWJD? Then, once I've predicted what Josem would do, I can do the exact opposite with a fair degree of confidence. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would this be the same JK Rowling that spews out bile daily on her twitter, calling trans people perverts, pedophiles and sexual deviants. The same JK Rowling that is so utterly cancelled she's still a billionaire, still writing books, has a new Harry Potter series coming out and still has a large audience? Just so we get the basic understanding of what cancelled means down? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: Oh and that book she wrote that's almost entirely comprised of fabricated Tweets. She's lost the plot.

2bees Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Hmmmm trans youth workers?

It’s all a load of bunkem blah blah blah I wanted to be called Charlotte when I was young, no one cared 😲 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Well, some people in the world are born as a boy or girl but for a variety of reasons, feel they are different. Some people who are born as a boy, feel themselves to be a girl and some people who are born as a girl, feel themselves to be a boy. Some people also feel that they are either a girl or a boy. An important lesson here is that, no matter who you meet in the world, no matter who or what they are and providing they aren't hurting anyone. Make sure you don't show them any nastiness and always be friendly, pleasant and polite. The world is full of people who are different and that's a wonderful thing, it would be boring if everybody was the same." My god....that was difficult. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In which case wouldn’t a dignified silence be a better response than all this bitterness. Speaking of which you seem more than a little bitter about her success. Surely labelling trans people paedophiles ( would lead to a downturn in her fortunes? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ADELE Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 If you are referring to The Ink Black Heart it was a good read. I think you have a phobia about JK Rowling but I am sure she ain’t bothered. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a book about a YouTube animator that gets stabbed to death for making racist and transphobic animations and it is 600 pages longer than Dune. And no I'm no JK Rowling phobic, I just think she's a dickhead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADELE Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 A very successful dickhead to boot as opposed to the common and garden dickheads that abound and to quote the old saying It takes one to know one ☝️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair we should've seen it coming when all her characters were racial stereotypes. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
