| I'd be remiss if I didn't speak up against this sub-thread. I mostly lurk here...but as you can see from my short post history...there was a point in 2019 when I didn't understand what was so wrong -- and SO dehumanizing -- about JK Rowling's actions. I now see them for the attacks that they are. Unfortunately...it took overcoming my repression, a lot of soul searching, and a lot of educating myself about all manner of topics in orbit of trans people. I'm proud to say I'm a trans woman. J.K. Rowling and her hate-mob would like to see a genocide of anyone like me. If you're earnestly interested in learning more, here's a recent-and-relevant video essay on just that topic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQ2s_bjMpZY PLEASE do not be another hate-mob to her, because after all, that's what we're all proclaiming our disgust with in this thread. I truly wish everyone reading this could see it from my perspective...and I wouldn't wish --on anyone-- the suffering that entails. Ignorance may well be bliss, but if things had stayed the same, I'd be hating who I turned into. ♥ Edit: Ooh, and for those earnestly edifying themselves, explore "Falsehoods about Gender 1 + 2", found here: https://github.com/kdeldycke/awesome-falsehood#human-identit... -- I think you'll find out the edge cases are far greater in scope than we (even yours truly, previously) presume. |
