As noted by me elsewhere, a lot of people are NOT good at saying "Yes, they are famous, but they are sourcing that info from their ass. Their opinions on THIS subject aren't important." If people were good at that, JK Rowling could not be trolling planet Earth with talking smack about trans issues merely because she's famous.
It's been some months since I stated a very mild opinion about JK Rowling's transphobic trolling of planet Earth. My understanding is her shit continues unabated and I'm not okay with that fact.
1. I have a serious medical condition and used to really start shit online without meaning to do so. If she's not merely a thoroughly hateful, evil person, the most charitable guess is she's got a serious medical condition and is trolling planet Earth from her sick bed for entertainment.
I was not intentionally shit stirring, was not famous nor influential and I put enormous effort into figuring out how to not be so problematic. I cannot respect what she's doing and I feel if you are famous you have a moral obligation to consider the broad impact of your behavior.
2. I am hearing that UK laws have recently become more transphobic. I believe this is a direct consequence of JK Rowling's transphobic trolling.
If you are in the UK and allowing JK Rowling's transphobic trolling to shape your opinions of the topic, you are being morally irresponsible and need to find another path for yourself on such subjects. Doubly so if you have any power to shape law and policy and are involved in doing so.
3. I'm so, so sick of the bathroom bullshit. How about if you pull your heads out your asses and pass a law stating that all public restrooms need to be private, individual bathrooms that don't designate what gender they are for?
