I made a comment in a dead thread, but it could probably deserve a post, because I find my thoughts more interesting than they are.
Honestly, my personal opinion on JK Rowling is I don't fricking care. She has the right to her beliefs and nothing she says is that fricking offensive. I'm sick of hearing about her, I'm sick of people overreacting to some pretty mundane views, I can disagree with someone's views and still read Harry Potter and play some silly wizard game and still like it. I pirate fricking everything anyway, she isn't getting a fricking dime.
She is getting off on attention and her whole game is people over fricking react and look fricking r-slurred and as a , It affects me because it causes people to act uncomfortable upon meeting me thinking I'm going to scream their head off for the slightest offense. I just want to mind my own business and I'm not interested in whatever fricking gender politics people are focusing on. I want access to Health Care, be free from discrimination in employment and housing and be free from violence or harassment in my day to day life and that is it. Your personal opinions about my gender identity, as long as you respect me somewhat, and I don't even enforce or care about gender pronouns, are whatever, you can believe whatever you want.
It doesn't cause me harm if someone calls me "he" because they have deeply held experiences or beliefs based on religious views, eventually, that is something I've realized I need to accommodate a bit to society and I can't expect society to accommodate perfectly to me. It's just a fricking one syllable word. I'm not saying someone should misgender intentionally to be a peepee, but frick. It's worse if a professor is on edge for example, thinking I'm going to be sensitive at the tiniest little mistake. I have to talk to every professor on the first day of class after class and tell them straight up "Don't believe I'm sensitive or anything." I do put forth effort, but I'm never going to pass, that is the reality. I have a deep voice, people accidentally misgender me without realizing when I speak. It's fricking okay. I didn't transition for other people, I did it for myself.
I'm not saying I agree with JK Rowling or her views, but the best way to handle her is to just fricking ignore her and let her fade into obscurity.
Her fanbase also known as TERFs is composed of people who should view walking up a set of stairs as more threatening than a transgender person. They're loud, but they don't fricking go outside that often, and they're just going to grow the more attention you give her. s and TERFs also have something in common, none of them are breeding.

Well gee I wonder why those people over react and make themselves out to be fricking r-slurs
Where could the problem possibly be
Well I'm sure now that you've said your piece they'll act much more sensibly and we can all just move on
But seriously tho: if the trans community had gate kept then it wouldn't be in this situation right now, it's way too little too late for any one to say "I'm one of the sensible ones", this is just what the trans community is now

Not really, there are still lots of sane s, just more focus on the insane minority by right wing religious groups, and other countries pushing propaganda to destabilize the country and because most people don't actually know a transgender person. I will agree that transgender people didn't police their own community and instead were ousted but real transgender people just kind of want to keep their heads down and aren't getting into the political activism. Most people will go their whole lives without running into a transgender person, so they kind of believe what they hear after hearing it over and over.
I'm not claiming that I am one of the sensible ones now, I was before you even knew transgender people even existed.

At worse, they'll scream at you if they are batshit insane. Most just want to keep their head down and mind their own business. If you honestly believe that a loud vocal minority of wingnuts that most transgender people view as insane, you spend too much time online, and need to develop some critical thinking. There's just more focus when a transgender identified person acts insane because it's convenient. I'm not saying that there aren't batshit insane people adopting the transgender label and co-opting it, but most of them aren't even trans. They are cisgender people who wanted persecution points.

There is a lot of propaganda from right wing media, making it look like there is.
Some of my views are controversial among the transgender community as a whole, which takes this whole "Every identity is correct", but I can tell you that there are a large handful of s that are going to be thinking that someone who comes to a transgender support group with neo-pronouns is kind of insane, they can't say anything and because they can't, then they stop participating because they don't feel comfortable, leaving only those who are for lack of a better word, cisgender people adopting the transgender label in the transgender support group. People are too polite to say anything.
If you really think that there is a level of group think adherence among transgender people, you haven't met too many.

You sound okay tbh, but I think you'll hear less from terfs and JK when the PIPs (people in power) don't try to brainwash or put kids on medication, or allow m2fs in women's sports, prisons, or pottys, and also stop pushing laws to censor or even imprison people for misgendering or calling trains mentally ill etc.

Maybe I'll hear less from TERFs when people stop believing right wing conspiracy blogspots as an actual news source and develop some critical thinking skills, both the right and the left need to learn this skill.
I don't think too many people that identify as Truscum that don't buy into the queer theory that it's completely a social identity believe that m2fs should be in womens sports, I think some kids do need treatment for HRT but caution should be used, and who fricking cares what bathroom I use? I try to go out of my way to use the gender neutral but there really should be more single stall gender neutral restrooms. I'm not trying to make people uncomfortable, but I'm not acting creepy in the restroom. I want to be in and out.

Like I said, there are kids that need HRT, they're rare, but there are children that do have severe distress over their gender and attributes.

WPATH standards like that eunuch is a gender, and we should have input from literal child-castration fetishists about when we should castrate children?
By the way, you're talking a lot about right-wing propaganda, but the insanity is just as visible in left-wing propaganda.
You've described purity spirals in trans spaces very accurately, without terming them as such, or reflecting what it means when that happens in every trans and leftist space en masse.
You say the crazies don't represent you. Almost nobody stands up to them publicly to say that they don't. Their views get sway when making actual, important policies. Yours don't. They DO represent you. Your comments here, however well-intentioned, are in effect just running cover for them. You are a human motte to their bailey, to use the ultimate cute twink metaphor

Their standards for how to handle kids under 18. Not a minor segment on future topics in need of further research and discussion taken out of context.
They aren't discussing castrating children, they don't give SRS to children.
If you don't want me using the women's restroom, advocate for more gender neutral restrooms.
In terms of left wing propaganda, while MSNBC is biased, it's not on the same level as a conspiracy blogspot and not completely inaccurate to the point where it makes up crazy conspiracies. There isn't as big of an issue with "Left-Wing" propaganda. People know MSNBC is biased, but while it's biased in the news it presents, it doesn't completely invent news.

Puberty blockers are given to children. At that point, you might as well be giving them SRS, because that's what it leads to, and even if you don't, the changes are not reversible. Besides, stretching the definition of ‘child' only a little bit gives you cases of double mastectomies for children (13-16) and cases like Jazz Jennings, whose mother flew him to Thailand for illegally early SRS. The eunuchs they're taking input from are exactly discussing castrating children, for sexual kicks, in their private fetish fiction section. And while eunuch fetish surgeries aren't currently being given to children, where are WPATH going to stop? The answer is that there isn't a line, because ideology and grift will push them further and further. I don't believe they will stop at any point without outside input. I'm sure that WPATH's guidelines have been rejected by many of the most progressive nations, like The Netherlands, for being too aggressive. If they aren't genuinely the best possible standard of care at the current moment, what good are they, really? If they would err on the side of doing less, chuds like me wouldn't have a stick to beat them with, but they don't do that. That would lead to a trillion immediate trans suicides, except it wouldn't, that's just a left-wing lie.
I will get on board with advocating for gender neutral bathrooms, but I'm not going to initiate that, because it's not my problem. Trans people should be advocating for that, but they're not, they want affirmation, not convenience or realism. Also, gendered shared bathrooms are much cheaper, it's very privileged to try to make individual bathrooms any sort of requirement, and it doesn't apply well to developing nations or any large venue.
Left-wing news sources are more in the habit of leaving out what's inconvenient, even when it's obvious and they DO know the truth, and spinning the remaining facts to fit their narrative. They do less often completely make things up, but that does happen (one billion policemen were murdered during Jan 6th! and so on). And often, they take convenient science work done by biased groups, and report on that as though it's not flawed. To me, that's still lying, it's just a more insidious kind of lie.

You are too dumb to give a serious reply to, but I will do so anyway.
I want teens with the guidance of medical professionals and their care team, with their parent's consent, that have a history of severe distress due to a evidence based treatable neurological condition which make them suicidal, with appropriate caution, to be able to receive appropriate treatment to relieve that distress, and I think there should possibly be more nuance in the discussion from the medical side and the diagnostic criteria should be improved to make sure only teens with that medical condition, can receive that treatment.
When they are 18, they can do what they want.

JKR is against this
This is actually the primary cause of people walking on eggshells around s. They are worried they will be accused of creating a hostile work environment and lose their jobs or be sued. Huge disaster of a policy, s are too few in number for disparate impact/loose quotas to come into play, so not only is it anti-freedom but it doesn't even help the people it intends to help since it makes people not want to hire s.
Discrimination bans are like the one 'pro-trans' policy 70% of cis people support because they are r-slurred, they will say employers shouldn't be allowed to fire someone for being trans and then turn around and support healthcare or bathroom bans because the s are trying to cancel them and they want revenge

JK Rowling has the right to be against it. I don't care about her.
People walk on eggshells because they see right wing propaganda videos of people over reacting or treating gender identity disorder as a sort of fictional headcannon where you can play dress up with pronouns. Identify as whatever you want, it's not the same as having Gender Identity Disorder. The issue is, especially in college environments where people are immature and exposed to new ideas, people do over react, teens and young adults do explore around with their social identity.
I see nothing wrong with having a different social identity, but can we please take Queer theory out of Gender Identity Disorder and come to a consensus and fricking treat it as the medical condition it is.
I tell people that things were a lot easier to be trans in 2013, a decade ago than today. I passed worse, but people genuinely didn't care. Somehow self-identified Queers who didn't transition until recently are trying to tell me, who did that my experience is wrong and it's a lot easier to be trans today.

You do know about the calendar and that Easter falls on a different day every year, correct? It corresponds to the cycle of the sun or something.

Next year, they will fall on different days.

I still have a diagnosis of gender identity disorder, it's based on my appearance. It may not be the typical presentation, but I have a diagnosis for a treatable medical condition from a doctor and there should be some gatekeeping.

Someone who views Gender Identity Disorder as a treatable medical condition, instead of adopting queer theory that it is a social identity. Old school s, tend to be more down to earth and reasonable.

Maybe I'm tarded but I'm none the wiser. Treating the condition could involve surgery or psychology to affirm their gender, or instead to affirm their original gender. Or either.
A social identity sounds less extreme, like being happy with your body, and doesn't sound like it involves surgery.
You're going to have to be WAY more concise and non ambiguous than that.

It a treatable neurological condition, there is evidence stating this fact, enough for a medical consensus among every major health organization.
I do differ from a lot of truscum that if you can resolve the distress with social transitioning alone, then you don't need HRT or surgery and there is nothing wrong with it, so I think we agree with that fact. I don't need surgery to relieve my distress, I can do it with HRT and social transitioning alone.
The main issue is there is a lack of nuance in the whole discussion and it's people on two extremes coming off as completely batshit insane.

I have a trans friend and I remember the day when she happily told me "I found a trans groomercord with normal people". The trans community has a huge issue with screeching online r-slurs. It's similar to the pride movement in lgbtq. I have friends who are gay, but they hate all that is pride..
Those friends are all largely accepted in society - because they are more than their identity/sexuality. They are what they are, but don't push it into the face of others and don't want to push unreasonable laws.
I think the whole JKR thing got blown out of proportion by the online trans community, due to breaking that exact rule. Rowling wanted a safe space for abused cis women, and I can understand that those are needed. Yes, the trans woman might not be a danger, but - depending on how much she passes (and that should honestly not be a criteria) - she might still trigger a cis woman's trauma. So I think some exclusive shelters should exist. But the trans community cannot see that they are different than cis women after all. Even though they describe each other that way. And thus they tried to push their shit into the face of others - that's why they get pushback by Rowling and others.

I would love a transgender groomercord with normal people.
The thing with JK Rowling is that didn't start off a TERF, she was attacked for questioning transgender ideology and it drove her into TERFism, she then catered to the TERF fanbase.
Because I grew up with a progressive upringing (Traditional progressive, not "progressive") then I really believe that people should have the right to question narratives and am really big on civil liberties. I didn't feel comfortable in the transgender community because I believe in a worldview based on rationality, and I believe that people should have the right to question views and be willing to change them when subjected to evidence that goes against their views. Questioning gender ideology is okay. Being neurodivergent and not fitting into a box, I don't believe in forcing people into a box, including a political box.
I criticize those on the right a lot, not because I don't believe that they have the right to question, but because they aren't questioning. Their views are often based on ignorance and they refuse to be willing to change them, even creating a hugbox by filtering out information that makes them question and makes them uncomfortable. I hate hugboxes, discourse should make people uncomfortable, and I'm not a fan of ignorance on either the right or left. There is a difference between discourse and spamming "You will never be a woman" over and over and over again. One involves a back and forth, the other is neurodivergent screeching to filter out discourse that makes you question your own views. There is very little difference between the chuds and wokies, both are easily triggered, need safe spaces, and try to censor views which make them question. I fricking hate censorship.
I now tell people I'm "more center", but honestly, I still identify as progressive to myself in terms of it's historical connotation, because I believe in a worldview based on rationality and evidence.
I definitely respect Daryl Davis, the black man who converted members of the KKK by befriending them and showing them tolerance, it's hard but I try to follow him as an example, because the best way to handle hatred is by viewing it as a result of ignorance, and with tolerance, which is my view about the paradox of intolerance. A lot of anti-transgender views and perspectives are from people who have never met a transgender person, and will never likely meet one in their life. Their experience of transgender people is from the internet. It's based on ignorance. If someone handles ignorance by screaming at someone instead of having a respectful discourse, then you're just going to shape their world view and alienate them entirely. I know I'm often sarcastic online, but I do get kind of annoyed by the political discourse and ignorance. In real life I'm respectful, polite and not argumentative, I think I just like debating. I like being exposed to new perspectives different than my own if they aren't completely r-slurred, and they have thought about them instead of following the herd and I look for my views to be changed, but the thing is that he challenged their views, but it did it with tolerance. He didn't adopt their world view, he befriended them and made them question.
Censorship of thought and trying to prevent people from the freedom to question, drives people into extremism, because we all have an unconditional drive to be free.

You stand alone in not only being extremely online and hateful to cope, but also in being thoughtless, insecure of yourself, and devoid of any higher political ideals. The lowest of the low. You will congratulate yourself because i wrote a sincere long post (something you are incapable of), but at the end of the day you have to live with your pitiful self and i will remind you every time i see you that you will never have s*x or purpose in this life unless you change your ways.
