Also gaslighting jk is a bit of a ‘power move’ oop ‘Nobody is saying sex isn’t real’ yeah sure guess all those people and articles saying ‘sex is a spectrum like gender’ just didn’t exist then. And no sex isn’t a binary. Gametes are not on a spectrum. This does not erase the lived experience and validity of intersex people. (I don’t think he did this on purpose but it just exemplifies how misinformation is rampant in every corner of the internet, whether we like it or not)

@@m0tm0t2 ok sorry but saying that sex is a spectrum does not mean sex isn't real. You can't deny that there are physiological features on the human body which are caused by your constelation of chromosomes, your sex-specific hormones and so on. Sex is real. But this does not mean it has to be binary. Because it isn't. Intersex people exist and imo saying sex is binary DOES erase them. And not just intersex people: many of these physiological differences wich define sex are clearly on a spectrum. For example body hair: where would you draw the line between male and female in regard to body hair? It is obvious that a lot of body hair is rather a male feature. But women have body hair, some women may even have more body hair than some men. You could say the same thing about broad hips, a more prominent jawline, the position of your hairline, the voice, some parts of your brain and many more things. Male and female are just the two extremes of this spectrum. This is not an opinion, this is the scientific reality. Deal with it

@@naryainc well this is in fact a question you should ask yourself. What does the word woman mean? Many people thought about it, including scientists, and they came to the conclusion that defining the word woman as a person who has XX chromosomes is not a good idea. Because it ignores the lived reality of trans people and intersex people. Trans women face in many aspects the same problems caused by sexism like cis women. Of course it depends a little bit on how well they pass, but trans people just live as their genders, are treated like cis people of their gender and so on. Why is it absurd then to define the word woman based on gender and not sex? I think it is not absurd at all, I think it is quite reasonable, but it seems like you disagree with me and the largest part of the scientific community, people who think about these topics as a part of their job.

One of the unfortunate realities of marginalization and oppression is that those who are oppressed may not be up to advocating for themselves, let alone advocating for a whole group with their identity, they are going through their own trauma,and frankly, those who need to hear them aren't likely to, not in any substantial way. I can barely deal with my own trauma, so taking up the mantle for others going through the same often feels like too much, I want to help, but I have to share the load with others that have inroads to people who aren't buried in their own trauma. The dominant group that oppresses others, even if they don't realize it, need to take this seriously, need to be responsible for changing the structures that keep the oppressions going, but for the most part they won't listen to or hear anyone but themselves, especially not without making inroads, without being woken up to the oppression they are sheltered from. Sometimes the marginalized need bridges with members of the dominant group to even be heard or taken seriously.The biggest problem there is that those trying to build bridges need to do so in a way that allows marginalized voices and perspectives to be heard, to be taken seriously, and to begin to build some clout, so the marginalized can begin to lead the discussions and the advocacy from their own perspectives and for their purposes. Not everyone agrees with that, but many feel like that is needed, and some of those in dominant oppressor groups are beginning to be woken up and feel the need to try to help, they just need to remember to help build those bridges, but then get out of the way, so it's not only their voices and their stories being heard.

So none of you in this thread think there are any conflicts between trans rights and women's rights? Say in the 2018 proposals in policy and legislation for the Equality Act and the Gender Recognition Act in the UK? And none of you are bothered by the undefined linguistic concepts used in the slogan; "transwomen are women"? What are your definitions of 'transwomen'; 'are'; and 'women' when used in this way? Are we talking literally or figuratively? How do we talk about women who are biologically female if the word woman includes males? Do you support the concept of self-ID instead of medical diagnosis for GD and for legal sex change? Do you not see that the implication of enshrining both gender identity and sex in law as it is currently proposed makes the law unclear and the two protected characteristics cancel each other out? Are you willing to sacrifice the protected characteristic of sex (female and male) over the protected characteristic of gender identity? How do you even define gender identity (and do not use the word gender to explain what gender identity is because then I'll just ask you to define gender again because I don't know what you mean when you say gender)?

Not all females menstruate but those who do are all females. And woman is a word that has always been used to refer to them in a more humanizing way since it literally means "human female". And accepting trans people doesnt mean that suddenly everyone has to ignore facts and reject biology just because some people's feelings might get hurt or "triggered" by the truth.

@@fimbulvetr8738 exactly! Well explained. Like I do agree with some of Matt's points; but it's getting to the point where the lines are become to blurry and we cannot seem to define or distinguish what a woman is anymore. Even Matt said it himself: defining a woman nowadays is "complicated" and for what? It gotten to the point where any dude can just put a wig on and claim to be a woman which is ridiculous because as a woman I have noe shared experience with that dude. Yes women's experiences are different but there are fundamental aspects of womanhood all women can relate to.

Also, I just noticed that in her essay, which is the epitome of terf narratives, she mentions that the issues she raises about gender identity are "professional, because I’m writing a crime series, set in the present day, and my fictional female detective is of an age to be interested in, and affected by, these issues herself". People are saying that there is no reason to think this book has nothing to do with her opinions on transgender people, but this is literally admitting that her book is a way to fictionalise this narrative she is perpetuating about predatory trans people.

I admire every woman that decides to have a baby, I admire every woman that decides to focus on their career and i also admire every woman that decides to do both! What I don't admire in women is when they start fighting and shaming each other because they don't share the same point of view, we can discuss but why are you saying every woman you know would laugh at me? don't you have better things to do than pick fights on the internet?

Transphobes never think about our internal experience. They focus entirely on external factors like clothes or hobbies or surgeries.

Joanna really said, "They goin hate me regardless, that's why I do what I do"

The entitlement of successful people to insert themselves in conversations that they're wholly unequipped to participate in is truly infuriating. To put the topic at hand aside and forgive this bigot her resistance to thought evolution, what simply grinds my gears are the logical fallacies in her writing. She introduces terms in her arguments willy-nilly, before properly defining them, jumping from one unsubstantiated conclusion to another. I'd expect an accomplished writer to be aware of the fact that she has to finish her thoughts on paper in order for a reader to understand her point, ESPECIALLY when writing an essay. She'd fail a first year philosophy course in a heartbeat. One last thing, can we please find another term for TERFs? These people are not feminists, because feminism in modern age is intersectional. We try to include everyone that suffers under patriarchy and that includes cis men too. Feminism doesn't exist without trans people or cis people fighting against the system that oppresses us all. Everyone needs feminism. Calling someone a TERF is too kind and giving them some credit which is unwarranted taking in account their position. *drops dead from a long-winded rant*

I myself have been uncomfortable in my womanhood. I still am sometimes. But I know for a fact I am not trans. I thought for a short time maybe I was nonbinary but that wasn't true for me either. While I am sometimes uncomfortable in my womanhood, I've listened to many trans people's experiences and understand that what I feel is absolutely not the same. Trans people have a different experience with gender and sex than I do. Although, obviously I can still relate to trans women because they are women just like me. I have been misgendered too, due to my androgyny and tomboy-like way of dressing. But that's really only a tiny snippet of the actual trans experience. You can't possibly understand what a trans person feels and goes through unless you LISTEN TO THEM. Crazy, I know. The transgender experience matters so much. Their stories matter. All you have to do is listen. They are the backbone of the community so many of us are a part of.

to use the fact that women are called hateful slurs as an excuse for transphobia is not only glossing over the hate and bigotry that trans people, especially trans women, face just for being themselves, it also makes absolutely no sense. if your whole rationale for excluding trans people is that their existence invalidates cis women's experiences and struggles, backing that up by invalidating trans women's struggles essentially nullifies your entire argument.

I’m cis but I do and will always stand up for and protect trans people and their rights. I’m literally 16 and I understand why it’s important to stand up for trans rights better than my parents. It’s not hard to use someone’s proper pronouns. It really isn’t. It’s not hard to respect others who are different from us.

people need to realise that she is an author. not only that but she wrote one of the biggest franchises in the world. the woman knows how to word and phrase things and she is choosing to word it in a way that seems innocent but truly isn’t.

Maybe it's JK Rowling bc this woman is a joke- 😳

Another major problem I have with some of her tweets as an AFAB non-binary person is that she is implying that people who are assigned female and then transition don't have to deal with the struggles of women. I am underage and can't transition yet, and while I present myself as androgynous, a lot of the time I still end up looking like a woman and am treated as such. Obviously, AFAB non-binary people and trans men are raised as women based on our sex, and because of this we know how dangerous the world is for women. While I'll never know what it feels like to be a woman - because I am not one - I will always know what it's like to be treated as a woman, to be catcalled, to not walk alone at night. I am a feminist, and most feminists I align myself with argue that feminism is a statement of equality. I believe that women and men should be equal, and this includes trans people as well. No one is denying sex is real, but there is more to my identity than sex.

I totally agree with everything you said but I think we shouldn't blame her for the lack of representation in the HP books. I grew up loving the books (as many people did) and we have to recognize that they weren't written in 2020. The world really changed in the last 20 years. We should still talk about how some of the characters are strongly based on stereotypes because it's important to recognize that, but we shouldn't hate her for that. Instead we totally can hate her actions now.

When I first read her twitter thread, I really didn’t understand what was wrong with anything she said. The essay that is highlighted in this video however, actually explains what she was trying to say. I agree that the terms “menstruators” and “people with vulvas” are awkward and not really necessary, but the whole “I’m worried that scary men will come into the women’s bathroom because trans is now accepted” makes no sense to me. If predators want to prey on women in bathrooms, they would do it anyway.

Another great vid abt why JK's comments were transphobic is "responding to JK Rowling's essay" by Jammidodger (hes a trans man & its him & his fiance. They go through her 'essay' and pretty much disprove the shit she said & explain why its harmful- they do leave sources & never try to push their opinions on ppl and encourage making your mind up)
