#IStandWithJKRowling


The woman is making some valid and reasonable points in her posts both on twitter and her site. The backlash she is getting is insane and honestly unreasonable.

reply

What do you expect from a bunch of mentally ill people.

reply

The thing is that Rowling hasn't said that she is against transgender people she has even said she support them. She just has a different opinion about some things. But for these people it is all or nothing.

reply

Trans people: "Listen to what the doctors say about transgenderism."

Doctors: "Trans people suffer from gender dysphoria".

JK Rowling: "Transgenderism is a mental illness called gender dysphoria".

Transpeople: "How dare you you ugly TERF dyke bitch! I hope you die in a hole."

reply

I was under the impression that gender dysphoria is no longer classified as a "mental illness" in medical journals?

reply

I haven't heard that. People love changing definitions now, so maybe so.

reply

Well science advances and we gain new knowledge so it is only natural that our perspective on things changes.

reply

You're right; it's no longer a mental illness.

reply

Any mental condition that causes you to cut off your genitals is an illness. And the suicide rate only reinforces this fact.

reply

But does gender dysphoria actually does that? Or is it more that undergoing surgery is the method the trans right activist push for as the only solution even tho there could be others?

reply

It does. No one can push a mentally healthy person to cut off their dick. Nothing you tell me will convince me to do that unless I already have an underlying mental illness.

reply

Very true. This real woman wrote Harry Potter, she understands the ramifications of breaking a wand better than anyone.
