      idk, I think it’s worth stopping to recognize how incredibly fucking weird it is how there’s this whole segment of the population who spend an inordinate amount of their time and attention just absolutely obsessing over their hatred of trans people. Rowling is the public face of it but she’s hardly alone.

          Just goes to show how one-note she’s gotten, that even the owner of the platform who’s no SJW and desperate to ingratiate himself to celebs is like, “can you give it a rest already?”

          I scrolled through her feed to see how long before that was her last non-trans-related tweet and gave up after two dozen.

            Not just the owner of that platform, but the very vocally anti-trans owner of the platform.

            It would be like David Duke telling Nick Fuentes to stop being so racist all the time.

        If the irrational hatred of gay people is similar at all, these people are closeted trans people inflicting their hatred of themselves and their own feelings on the world. Probably.

      I disagree. I think it’s worth as much time as possible letting people know that they’re reading books written by a bigot to their kids.

    Here’s a thought: let’s collectively not give either of these idiots any more attention 🙄

    Jesus Christ, she wrote a 700-word post about how trans women aren’t women.

    I realize she writes long books and I hate to agree with Elon but find another fucking subject.

    Isn’t one of Elon’s kids transgender? I’m sure even the nazi bar owner is a bit concerned about his kid’s safety at some point.

    Edit after additional thought, my guess is Elon sees having a trans kid as a personal failure so the constant reminder probably tears up his incredibly fragile ego.

      Yes and she disowned him pretty much the moment she turned 18.

      He, having been extremely anti-trans ever since his ex left him for Chelsea Manning, would never defend his daughter or even stop misgendering her.

        And I’ve said for a while now that you have to be an exceptionally shitty father for your daughter to disown you despite you being one of the richest people on the planet.

          Absolutely! She gave up SO much material comfort and luxury to get away from him! He must be just as awful as a dad as he seems to be as a person online.

          Good on her for getting away from that toxic man-child, though! Can’t have been easy but is probably worth it!

    Just LEAVE PEOPLE THE FUCK ALONE ABOUT THEIR CHOICES, ITS NOT THAT HARD.

    I don’t see why people have to do this. Just leave people alone.

    Surprising, given the vitriol, misinformation Space Karen spews whenever possible on the X platform. It’s amazing her toxic rhetoric is the one which makes that makes Space Karen uneasy. 🫢

    I guess even bigots have a line in the sand. 🙃
