Why did you give the person you just reblogged a greater platform without debunking any of their points? All you've done is make it so that more people will see that misinformation, and you don't look any better. Why not just ignore and block someone like that?

I’m not interested in making myself “look better” - I have confidence in my views on this issue and how I appear to strangers on the internet doesn’t shake that confidence or otherwise worry me. I also, as a nonbinary person, don’t have any obligation to “debunk” theories which deny my existence or rights. Finally, I prefer to point out when people are being unnecessarily unkind than to block or ignore them. I think unkindness speaks volumes and a person’s decision to call me a “dimwit” is far more telling than any of their carefully worded arguments against the rights of trans people. I believe engaging in debate with such people gives validity to their views and gives them far more of a “platform” than pointing out their propensity for senseless rudeness. You can deal with things like this on your page however you like - this is how I choose to deal with it on mine.

Not gonna read your essay after you started it by calling me a dimwit lol sorry.

JKR is now calling trans women “trans identified men” - while still somehow preaching about the ways that men police “femaleness.” JKR and her allies are the only ones who are allowed to gatekeep who and what counts as a woman, apparently. The hypocrisy here is multilayered - she rebukes someone who has a particular idea of what a woman is, and yet she herself has constructed a similarly limited idea of what a woman is - one that excludes trans women. But also - it’s not an accident that all the targets of this kind of transphobia (“protect women’s sport,” “protect women-only spaces,” “some trans women are abusers”) are trans women - not trans men. Under the guise of feminism, she denies the identities and rights of some of the most vulnerable and systemically oppressed women alive today. Trans women are women. To deny that because it doesn’t conform to your “sex-based” definition of womanhood - THAT is the very definition of misogyny.

Regulus: James uses that line as a skipping rope.
