one very practical reason to avoid transphobia is it seems to turn its adherents into deranged, obsessive fuckin freaks

“Depraved” seems accurate. Can we just talk about the demise of democracy?

As a 'straight lefty man' my first question would be "penised what?" and why assume that transgender women are automatically lesbian, and if so, why does it matter, fucking get over yourself.

Bizarre to watch her trying to shore up the belief in a silent majority of terf women with the assertion that most straight men are trans allies. Like, plenty of them are, but it also doesn't make the first thing true?

I just cannot imagine going from a person of modest means to being fabulously wealthy and spending all my time being mad at people that want to change their lot in life.

When you’re having lunch with a “friend” and discover they are an absolute fucking lunatic, and you just mumble replies until you can extract yourself from the entire situation.

WTF. I saw this on my timeline earlier but it was only the second paragraph. Seeing it in fuller context makes it somehow so much worse and also even more incoherent.

This sounds like sexual harassment. She goes into great detail about how the other person did not want to talk about sexual kinks and practices, how uncomfortable it made them, but she kept going, relishing it.

I cannot overstate how little I would want to talk with JK Rowling, in particular, about sexual kink in particular, so that man has my sympathy. (If I ever talk with a famous person IRL about sexual kink, please let it be Susie Bright and not JKR.)

When conservatives pick up transphobia as a hobby, the words are maybe a little different here and there but it's the same old song and dance. This seems like the kind of thing that would come up if Rowling were to be put in some kind of conservatorship.

This is way funnier when you account for how obsessed with sissification academic TERFs are. Like, that's would be what she was talking about, if this happened.

"he didn't want to talk about it." Yes ma'am, perhaps consider that forcing sexual conversations on unwitting acquaintances actually makes you the weirdo.

There's something about the traumatizing aspect--which is what often makes folks involved in certain arms of supporting survivors/the survivors who encounter terfs (and I think JKR is one of them?)--that makes them literally insane. Like they are so hypervigilant, it's like probably clinical
