Fun fact: the Pride Rainbow is also a symbol of the LGBTQ community's promise to never destroy the earth with floods.

You'll note that there has not been even a single worldwide inundation since the first gay pride march.
I DID it!! Happy Hubris Month !

Feminists teaming up with right wing maniacs on specific issues doesn't exactly have the greatest of track records, having given us, inter alia, some genuinely horrific anti-sex worker legislation, porn wars, Tipper Gore and Parents Music Resource Center, and the satanic panic.

This, however, will surely work out just fine. A white nationalist Nazi troll named Matt Walsh produced himself video (with Daily Wire money) called What is a Woman? It is not at all difficult to guess what ol' Matt thinks a woman is. A weird Twitter exchange involving Walsh and Macy Gray has led to JK Rowling voicing support for Walsh's movie. Cuz, of course.

Of course she did.
Ya know, how comfortable she is with white nationalists and right wing hate really makes me start to side eye other aspects of her books, like how there’s a whole slave race in the wizard world, and our heros aren’t really against slavery just against the abuse of such loyal non-humans.

Additionally heavily Catholic Walsh tricked trans folk into being in his doc, claiming to be from a a fake pro-trans organization. Apparently at the end his wife gives the dictionary definition of “An adult human female.” So if you hear people suddenly quoting the dictionary to ‘end’ gender debates, that’s where they got it from.

That's true, but we can take comfort in knowing that there's probably no ghastly implication involved with those greedy, hook-nosed goblins who run the Wizarding Bank.

None of that is a fair representation of Rowling's position, stated or inferred, I think.

None that can fairly be imputed to Rowling herself, at least.

Happy to discuss.

Going by what she has said, I believe Rowling is completely opposed to teaming up with right wing maniacs on any issue and she is not at all comfortable with white nationalists and right wing hate.

Hope that helps.

Ok… From the DailyDot article, Here is a right wing believer in replacement theory who had just called another woman a coward being complimented by Rowling before helpfully suggesting he call institutions cowards and not individuals.


ETA: I should be clear, I don’t actually think JK is a Nazi, but I do think that while she likes to claim lots of things, her books follow a lot of sheltered common straight, white, tropes and are more conservative than she herself claims to be and whatever issue she has with transfolk is steadily making her allies with conservatives who do hold those racist views.

I agree with all of that. Nasty, and even Nazi, right-wingers are allying themselves with Rowland. That isn't the same thing as her seeking it, nor does it mean she's comfortable with them, which is what was being said upthread.

This statement seems to be in contradiction to the fact that she watched Matt Walsh’s video and voluntarily communicated with him publicly. It’s not like he’s hiding his affiliations.

Frankly her response to Walsh is fascinating in how she addresses him.

How she acts when she feels trans people are attacking women:
“We’re living through the most misogynistic period I’ve experienced.”
…”which will in effect mean that all a man needs to ‘become a woman’ is to say he’s one [editor note, this is false]. To use a very contemporary word, I was ‘triggered’. Ground down by the relentless attacks from trans activists on social media,” - JK on trans activism.

Compare that to Walsh, a known regressive conservative troll who is actually verbally attacking a woman on twitter. In that case she watches his video and kindly suggests he doesn’t call women names.

Where’s the essay about how a man tricked women into being in his video where he defines women and then screams at them on twitter? There better be an essay!

Because I’ve been googling this, just yesterday Rowling pointed out that

JKRespectfully, I've been facing down the Punch-and-Kill-TERFs brigade for a while now and not once have I thought, 'what I really want is to hand this over to a man who thinks feminism is one of the worst things to happen to western civilisation.'

Like many women on the left, I despair that so many self-proclaimed liberals turn a blind eye to the naked misogyny of the gender identity movement and the threat it poses to the rights of women and girls. Walsh's film undeniably exposed what many leftists are too scared to, 2/4

but a shared belief that women exist as a biological class (and water's wet and the moon's not made of cheese) does not an ally make. I believe women are susceptible to certain harms and have specific needs and that feminism is necessary to secure and protect our rights.

Walsh believes feminism is 'rotten' and his default appears to be denigrating women with whom he disagrees. He's no more on my side than the 'shut up or we'll bomb you' charmers who cloak their misogyny in a pretty pink and blue flag.

https://twitter.com/jk_rowling/statu...-matt-walsh%2F


‘If it wasn’t for all those evil trans attacks, I wouldn’t have supported an anti-feminist who is not my ally but also his film makes good points you gotta give him that! Now that I’ve made it clear we aren’t ally’s let’s end reminding everyone transfolk are terrorists.’

My opinion remains as always, JK Rowling has some issues that she should be seeing a therapists about and not instead choosing to have twitter fights with people to the extent that she can’t think straight and has doubled down on recommending a film by someone she says she hates.

Rowling uses the term "gender identity movement". I can't say what she means by that, but there is no reason to suppose it's just a synonym for trans people. She talks elsewhere about trans activists. I don't think all trans people are trans activists nor that tans activists all sing from the same hymn sheet, and I don't think Rowling does either.
