How sure are we that JK Rowling hasn't just been trolling literally everyone all this time?
She's written the same book literally ten times, of course she's trolling.
Fuck Israel
She's actually becoming Dolores Umbridge, going on about subhumans and stuff. Is this how she envisioned her life when Philosopher's Stone came out? When Christian moralists were slamming her novels for Satanism, or her characters using mean methods to achieve their goals?
I'm rather glad that the new video game coming out next year doesn't really have Rowling's involvement. I'm ready for Red Dead but with 1800s wizards. Would beat paying for Skyrim again.

Rowling on the twitter with her weird decrees whenever she gets a bee up her butt about trans people like 
e: It probably does not help fight rape to push the notion that rape is exclusively a thing done by men to women. Inserting *ahem* anti-trans politics into the mix, disingenuous.

Also, should women receive a lesser punishment than men for rape and molestation?“The sex/gender identification of individuals who come into contact with the police will be based on how they present or how they self-declare, which is consistent with the values of the organization,” he told the paper. “Police Scotland requires no evidence or certification as proof of biological sex or gender identity other than a person’s self-declaration, unless it is pertinent to any investigation with which they are linked.”
It should be noted that the rapes highlighted in these debates are theoretical and only represent arguments in line with Scotland’s proposed transgender laws, as mentioned above.

I was raped by a woman
She also robbed me
Three times in one week

I would believe about anything of that franchise at this point. But apparently a lot of fans are kind of ignoring her adjustments to canon anyway. Not that there's anything wrong with Dumbledore being gay, but it's kind of an empty, token addition to lore.SuperJail Warden wrote:

Did you ever see this meme?
Sure keeps it being talked about, though.
Jokes like that seem kind of dated, but I'll give you an Australia pass for Australian retardation.Dilbert_X wrote:

Heard the one about the trans swimmer beating the women by 40 seconds? Set a women's swimming record.
No, because culture war bs is a smoke screen used to obfuscate the concentration of capital by the elite and resulting diminished material conditions of the American public.
But please, keep in "national review commentator" mode and continue.

But aren't you afraid of the extreme theoreticals of tranny linebackers dominating women's sports and oggling your grandmother in the ladies' room?
From 2017 (forever ago, I know)
I wonder what 2021 research says? Probably something similar.
Surprising? 'Common sense' would seem to suggest that surely our theoretical, grandma-oggling, very-athletic-prior-to-transition, transwoman linebacker may have a certain bulk and density advantage even though HRT can deplete muscle mass. It's interesting when science doesn't agree with something that would make sense at-a-glance.
Either way, people would still be heckling transgenders even during recreational sport.

Currently, there is no direct or consistent research suggesting transgender female individuals (or male individuals) have an athletic advantage at any stage of their transition (e.g. cross-sex hormones, gender-confirming surgery) and, therefore, competitive sport policies that place restrictions on transgender people need to be considered and potentially revised.

Breitbart & co. crying foul at trans sports issues in contravention to modern medical thinking, where have I seen something like that before? Oh, right! Breitbart & co. crying foul at vaccinations in contravention to modern medical thinking.

Brietbart, at least the editorial staff, is pro-vaccine now that they have read the Twitter post celebrating dead Republicans. Of course they dare not mention their stance again.
the far-right has always had a very interesting relationship to the freudian death drive. it's a giant necro-ideology. this was very well understood about the 20th century's main fascisms.

They call Islam a death cult meanwhile many members have a Roman execution tool around their necks or on their walls.
Also, crucifixes on girls are chef's kiss which again is strange for a symbol of death.

it's less useful to think about this in terms of comparative religion ('islam bad! christianity peaceful!'), which is based on shaky and selective historical memory at best, and to think of it at the level of depth psychology, methinks. the religious or political ideologies that these people are attracted to are just higher-level abstractions from their fundamentally authoritarian personality type.
which brings me, of course, to the seminal work of those postmodern cultural marxist lesbian revolutionaries at the franklin school, D.C.
theodor adorno's main characteristics of 'the authoritarian personality':
actually, doesn't a lot of that above list sound like dilbert?

of course, some thinkers like marcuse went one further in 'freudianizing' this personality type and pinned a lot of it on absent father figures in one's early development, a lack of strong or clear role models, etc, which you can easily see, anecdotally, in any number of cases about political terrorists or religious extremists.
- Blind allegiance to conventional beliefs about right and wrong
- Respect for submission to acknowledged authority
- Belief in aggression toward those who do not subscribe to conventional thinking, or who are different
- A negative view of people in general - i.e. the belief that people would all lie, cheat or steal if given the opportunity
- A need for strong leadership which displays uncompromising power
- A belief in simple answers and polemics - i.e. The media controls us all or The source of all our problems is the loss of morals these days.
- Resistance to creative, dangerous ideas. A black and white worldview.
- A tendency to project one's own feelings of inadequacy, rage and fear onto a scapegoated group
- A preoccupation with violence and sex

The preoccupation with sex and violence is little bit too close to home.
the popular culture has a preoccupation with sex and violence. those criteria were drawn up ca. the 1950s. the intervening decades of counter-culture and liberalizing attitudes sure did open the floodgates to a lot of toxic nastiness, also, particularly when driven by strong market forces. which is probably why the student movements, beatniks/hippies, etc, pushed the european marxist thinkers like adorno to one side. they seemed prudish in comparison. well, our gain, i guess.

lmao this gender reveal shit. didn’t one already burn down half of california?

Quoted tweet is blocked lol.
in america maybe.
it's now been deleted. anyway, it was a couple dressed up in formal-wear, whilst a giant chinook-style helicopter, i assume for fire-fighting or some sort of emergency service, did an extremely low fly-by over their heads. it trailed a water-vapour style smoke which switched to blue as it flew past them, signifying that the incipient ball of cells in her womb had a penis. hooray!
can think of few things more wasteful than these gender-reveal parties, on almost every level. it was enough when people just wanted to throw baby-showers and waste their disposable income on future-landfill tat. now it needs this big spectacle 'reveal', normally involving fireworks or explosions or something.

I think for the most part they're alright. It's something people can do for fun. A party popper with blue confetti followed by lunch probably isn't going to hurt anyone. However, the really bombastic stuff has kind of gotten a sour reputation *ahem* forest fires. Now we need one of those space billionaires to have a rocket shoot pink or blue smoke for the next capitalist prince/princess.

I am indifferent to GRPs. If a lady has to carry around a baby for 9 months then society can give them two parties as a reward.
by 'these' gender reveal parties i obviously mean the social-media-fuelled arms race whereby people need ever more spectacular forms of gender reveal.
nobody needs to burn down half a state to celebrate the fact that their child has, amazingly, assumed a gender in the womb.
