JK Rowling is not transphobic

@Torsten [quote]it has every bearing on the issue and that being JK is against women being referred to as "people who menstruate" when talking about women menstruating because it hurts some peoples feelings because they dont menstruate and want to be included as the exact same as biological women when that is far from the case..[/quote]

That's not the case at all. The "people who menstruate" crowd [i]isn't[/i] lumping transgender women in with cisgender women; in fact, they're explicitly excluding at least the bulk of 'em. Ironically, Rowling would be the one including transgender women in the conversation about periods (unnecessarily) by just using the term as women.

Lemme make this simple for you. I'll use your definition of menstruate just so we don't have to waste time bickering about terminology anymore.

People who menstruate:
-Cisgender women who've hit puberty but haven't yet hit menopause yet and don't skip their periods using the pill
-Transgender men & non-binary folks who've hit puberty but haven't yet hit menopause and don't skip their periods using the pill

Women:
-Cisgender women, broadly
-Transgender women

As you can see, the term Rowling's using [i]would[/i] include transgender folks as the same group as cisgender women (erroneously, I might add), so it's actually the opposite of what you're saying. And IDK why you're talking about it "hurting some people's feelings", it's just factually inaccurate lol

@BlueVeins why the fuck do you keep saying "cisgender"? how bout just saying women. Cisgender is a made up term and most refuse to acknowledge that idiotic label.
funny how you are so off the mark with everything. You are looking to be outraged and make something out of nothing. You have proved my point and again what she said is not transphobic. Nice try though

Also transmen who menstruate are still biological women. They can identify however they please but you can not change your biology or just ignore it

Because that would include transgender women too, and that's not my intent.

All terms are made up, my dear.

Well you [i]can[/i] change your biology; you can go on hormones and stuff, and any biologist will tell ya that your hormones impact your biology. It's true that trans dudes can't change their chromosomes or their genitals, but gender is about much more than that. Gender is rooted in social structures, norms, relationships, femininity and masculinity. What you seem to be referring to is sex, and nobody's arguing against the existence of sex. That's a conservative strawman, plain and simple.

@Jackaloftheazuresand that she is and why i am no fan of hers. she still isnt transphobic though and people should be called out for making false accusations

@Torsten perhaps not for the reasons they say. Be careful

@Chickie they still commit suicide after SRS, so clearly that doesnt help as much as people claim

@Torsten yep, sick people.

Rowling didn't say anything wrong

@Torsten For real kids bully other kids for liking some fantasy books because their author expressed some controversial opinions? Since when do kids actually care about authors at all? I don't remember this happening when I was a kid.

@SW-User @CrazyMusicLover wouldn't say he is being bullied but people have called him transphobic when him and his friends were talking about Harry Potter movies.
Could have been something those kids overheard from others or certain parents these days who try indoctrinating their radical views on children. who knows

@Torsten That's really sad.
