J.K. Rowling@jk_rowling

The word ‘transphobic’, as used here, does not mean an irrational fear or dislike of trans people. It means refusing to use gender identity ideology’s jargon, refusing to parrot its slogans, refusing to accept that sex doesn't matter when it comes to sport and single-sex spaces, refusing to believe a bearded heterosexual man becomes a lesbian when he declares himself one, and refusing to believe an abusive, misogynistic male is a woman because he likes to wear mini-dresses and pout in selfies. Like every other gender critical person I know, I believe everyone should be free to express themselves however they wish, dress however they please, call themselves whatever they want, sleep with any consenting adult who wishes to sleep with them, and that trans-identified people should have the same protections regarding employment, housing, freedom of speech and personal safety every other citizen is entitled to. But this isn’t nearly enough for the dominant strain of trans activism, which asserts that unless freedom of speech is removed from dissenters, unless trans-identified men are permitted to strip away women’s rights, with particular reference to single sex spaces like rape crisis centres, prison cells, hospital wards, changing rooms and public bathrooms, until we all bow down to their neo-religion, accept their pseudo-scientific claims and embrace their circular reasoning, trans people are more oppressed, and more at risk, than any other group in society. This is nonsense. 99.9% of the world knows it's nonsense. The emperor is naked. He might be wearing lipstick, but his balls are swinging in plain sight.

@MinnOrchia Somebody really should have explained to you that your hurt feelings don't trump other people's rights, nor are women and girls validation props or comfort blankets.

J.K. Rowling@jk_rowling

We don't leave our doors and windows wide open when we go out because 'thieves will find a way in, anyway.' Strangely, I've never heard anyone say 'let's stop background checking teachers, because paedophiles will always find a way to interfere with kids.' When men - all men, however they identify - are banned from women's spaces, those who disregard the ban can be challenged, inside the space and out. They mark themselves out as suspicious by breaking a rule decent men respect. Nobody claims the rule has successfully kept out every single man who wants to commit voyeurism or sexual assault. What we're saying is that allowing males into female only spaces on the basis of their claim to be a women removes an obstacle that has hitherto been *proven* to increase women and girls' safety. 88% of sexual crimes committed in changing/locker rooms happen in those that are unisex. Why? Because malign men don't have to justify their presence near unclothed women and girls. They can't be challenged. They don't stand out. This is obvious to all but the terminally naive. It is too seldom noted that every single man arguing for the removal of single sex spaces is arguing for his *own* right to enter those spaces. I know from experience that they feign outrage when this point is put to them, gibbering that they're just being good, virtuous progressives who're standing up for trans women, that they *personally* won't be availing themselves of the new opportunities afforded them. The fact remains that instead of calling out male violence against trans women, and working to make male spaces safer, these men have thrown their energy into the fight to remove women's and girls' rights to safety, privacy and dignity. And if anyone genuinely believes none of these enthusiastic heterosexual, non-trans-identified male 'allies' aren't personally enthralled by the idea of women and girls losing basic protections, I have several bridges to sell you.

J.K. Rowling@jk_rowling

For years now, women have been saying that self-ID will be exploited by predators and we’ve been told ‘no predator would bother to pretend to be a woman.’ Yet here we are - again. This paedophile didn’t receive the leniency he hoped for because he claimed to be a woman, but plenty have, including Katie Dolotowski, who, in a very similar case, filmed a 12-year-old in a bathroom cubicle and attempted to rape a 10-year-old in a women’s bathroom, and served his sentence in a women’s prison. The wilfully blind continue to insist that what is already happening couldn’t possibly happen. They wriggle like eels trying to find a loophole through which they can escape with their precious ideology intact. ‘He wasn’t really trans, though.’ ‘All groups have bad apples.’ ‘You can’t blame all trans people because some of them are rapists.’ So determined are you to cling to your absolutist slogans and your circular reasoning, you’re indifferent to the proven increased risk to women and girls. I watch you lying, equivocating and contorting yourself into knots trying to justify the unjustifiable, and I wonder when, if ever, shame will finally find you.

J.K. Rowling@jk_rowling

Replying to @tyrunn

@tyrunn @dmf500 @MikeWhitton @GettingEricD So you'd exclude trans women from changing and locker rooms ? Or are you comfortable holding open those doors for fellow men who identify as women, as well?

J.K. Rowling@jk_rowling

Replying to @tyrunn

@tyrunn @dmf500 @MikeWhitton @GettingEricD So what is the test for True Trans, which filter out men who want access to naked women or girls?

J.K. Rowling@jk_rowling

Replying to @tyrunn

@tyrunn @dmf500 @MikeWhitton @GettingEricD So saying 'I identify as a woman' is the mark of a true trans woman, but sometimes a man who isn't trans says 'I identify as a woman', and we can tell which is which by giving them both access to the women's changing rooms, and you see no flaws in this reasoning.

@chris69403377 @1MikeFairclough What you're describing is what happens AFTER institutional capture. People take the path of least resistance - pretend not to see, as you put it - because they don't want to deal with the consequences of dissent. I have enormous sympathy for those who risk their livelihoods in speaking up, but none for those in positions of power who throw the most vulnerable under the bus, because it's easier/more lucrative to go with the flow.

J.K. Rowling@jk_rowling

Replying to @1MikeFairclough

@1MikeFairclough Yes, because this is a top-down movement that relies on institutional capture rather than grassroots mobilisation. Bosses telling employees what to think/say, bullying/no-platforming of dissenters by cultural/academic elites, and the most vulnerable are paying the price.

J.K. Rowling@jk_rowling

J.K. Rowling@jk_rowling

The trans activist outrage that ensues on here whenever I share my belief that jailed women shouldn't be used as validation tools or emotional support props for trans-identified male sex offenders is as revealing as it's predictable. Such activists can't bring themselves to concede that a man who was convicted of harming women/girls ought not to be incarcerated with the demographic to whom he is a proven danger, because if they do, all their stock arguments ('no sexual predator would bother to pretend to be trans', 'no trans woman has ever harmed a woman in a women's only space', 'there is no danger in making all single sex spaces unisex') are exposed as the lies they are. If they admit that even a single man isn't a woman because he says he is, the entire edifice of gender identity ideology crumbles. This leaves activists who rely on bullying and slogans with nowhere to go but 'you hate all trans people', 'so you're saying all trans people are rapists' and, of course, 'you are causing a trans genocide.' I think this particular issue also causes conniptions because it threatens the activists' self image. These are people who preen themselves on their kindness and virtue, so acknowledging the truth - that they're indifferent to vulnerable women being assaulted or traumatised - threatens the idea they have of themselves. They therefore double down. The prisoners complaining aren't really afraid of rape or voyeurism or violence at all, they say. They're 'not exactly delicate flowers', as one self-identified empath put it. If you support putting violent and sexually predatory men into women's prisons, you are knowingly forcing those women to live in fear of, and, in some proven cases, to suffer abuse that many of them will have endured pre-incarceration. You are not kind. You are not righteous. Women have the basic human right not to suffer cruel and unusual punishment. #WomensRightsAreHumanRights

@yourisolde I'm asking why a *Women's Library* has chosen to display a comic which centres the desires of straight men, is focused on shaming lesbians for their sexual orientation and has a cover depicting a protected group dying out.

J.K. Rowling@jk_rowling

@atalanta44 I have read it. All of it. Lesbians are same-sex attracted women. Telling them they're terrible human/bigots/transphobes beings for not wanting sex with the penised is profoundly homophobic.
