JK Rowling is a TERF

[SevenEleven]

If JK Rowling is a Radical Feminist she wouldn't have written a book series where the only slightly interesting female characters are a. dead girl living in a toilet and b. perhaps the most evil character in the books.

Who cares about a restroom anyway?

Get in, do your thing, wash your hands, get out.

What a stupid issue to focus on, and if someone does want to focus on it they should encourage persons with penises to use urinals for environmental reasons. A restroom is not a place for community or a badge of identity. It's a convenient place to do inconvenient things.

I just read JK Rowling's entire essay and the entire Scotland gender recognition bill and all I can say is that the world would be a much better place if people would actually read up on what they're discussing before deciding to have an opinion on it.

Indeed. To wit:

Obtaining a Gender Recognition Certificate will remain a serious and lifelong commitment. Trans people will still make a statutory declaration to this effect and people will still be subject to criminal proceedings for lying or making false applications.

Section 8S also provides a structure for dealing with individuals found to have obtained a GRC fraudulently. For example, if you have a male coworker that uses the ladies' room because he obtained a GRC, and you have proof that this individual is not living life "as a woman", the GRC can be rescinded.

All this bill really does is simplify the process for people who can't afford or aren't fully ready to commit to significant medical procedures but are transgender nonetheless.

Given how numerically insignificant the transgender population is, and how even more numerically insignificant the malicious transgender imposter population is, this is quite the wrong hill to die on.

I'd also like to note the irony of an international best-selling author not bothering to read, and boasting of "conducting research" via Twitter, perhaps one of the most illiterate forms of discourse available.
