What she is really really saying is:
"I once wrote outstandingly successful books that were pretty popular before some woke minded peopled dared to attack the narrative because of some of my conservative and outdated attitudes shimmering through an entertaining story.
But now the story is finished and I'm rich, but I really miss the level of attention I once had as an author. So instead of creating relevant books, I try to be relevant by showing engagement in an emotional topic, where I use my former fame and my financial independence to speak so loud and clear, that I can't be ignored. At least I hope so and so far it works.
I see myself as a hero and by getting harsher towards my critics, I can slay the imagined dragon of wokeness day by day before breakfast. Like Harry I don't fear to say what others regard as unspeakable. I'm sooo proud of myself and I rub it into your face, just for reassuring myself."

Tbh she's definitely said some shit that's eggier than a food fight at a vegetarian convention 🐣
"The writings of young trans men reveal a group of notably sensitive and clever people. The more of their accounts of gender dysphoria I’ve read, with their insightful descriptions of anxiety, dissociation, eating disorders, self-harm and self-hatred, the more I’ve wondered whether, if I’d been born 30 years later, I too might have tried to transition. The allure of escaping womanhood would have been huge. I struggled with severe OCD as a teenager. If I’d found community and sympathy online that I couldn’t find in my immediate environment, I believe I could have been persuaded to turn myself into the son my father had openly said he’d have preferred."
As if it's typical for young girls to crave the presence of a beard and penis to fix their OCD.
If only there were other online communities offering just as much friendship and sympathy out there...?

I remember when she released that letter and everyone was screaming transphobia but it was actually pure misogyny with lots of transphobia heaped on top.
I am on mobile so can't quote directly but she basically in her letter reduces male-to-female trans people all to deviants wanting to invade women's space, while at the exact same time she reduces female-to-male trans people into ignorant, naive, brainwashed little girls who didn't know any better.
And in the responses I read to her letter, which rightfully so talked about transphobia, almost no one seemed to be reflecting on how a large amount of her transphobia stems from her hatred of men and her inability to separate the two groups.

Here's something to think about... JKR has some deep seated "not like other girls" thing stuck up her ass and kind of hates women? There's only like 20 named women in all of HP. 7 books and 100+ male characters.
Every girly girl is either portrayed as annoying, inept, or evil. Women are incredibly objectified and stereotyped, the only positive ones are:
-Know it all tomboy -Tomboy sister hopelessly in love with mc -Stern matron -Airheaded manic pixie misfit
-Mother who sacrifices themselves for kids -Mother who was cool then sacrifices themselves for kids -Mother -Kooky loser no one else respects.
Even the short term love interests were all kind of thrown under the bus for doing "girly" stuff like having friends or wanting to go on dates. Ew.
Weird how the only way to be a worthwhile female in her books is to eschew femininity and basically do whatever the boys want or go full mom to take care of them.
How does she write such a male focused pubescent fantasy with so little empathy or interest for female characters...
Its like she hates being a woman or something!

The irony here also is that she hid her female name, Joanne, by using the initials JK so that people wouldn't think she was a woman, in order to potentially increase book sales. K also isn't even her middle iniital it's made up.
So this is someone who changed their identity, including a made up name, in order to appear as a different gender so she could be more successful.

I had the opportunity to hang out with a billionaire couple on their private island in the Bahamas. They were the most miserable people I’ve ever met. Surrounded by beauty, pristine beaches, everything they could need, a private chef, and they were miserable. I am not used to those things, far from it, and could see only how amazing everything was. They complained about an amazing wine, about the quality of the fresh caught fish made by a talented chef, about the house, about the country, about the state of the world.
I think that a really important part of love and of friendship is accountability. We all need people in our lives to keep us grounded. To tell us when we are being an asshole. To question us when we need. These people lack that, surrounded by paid servants, by people who won’t say no, by people who want to exploit them.

Q: Nicholas Lezard has written ‘Rowling can type, but Le Guin can write.’ What do you make of this comment in the light of the phenomenal success of the Potter books? I’d like to hear your opinion of JK Rowling’s writing style
UKL: I have no great opinion of it. When so many adult critics were carrying on about the “incredible originality” of the first Harry Potter book, I read it to find out what the fuss was about, and remained somewhat puzzled; it seemed a lively kid’s fantasy crossed with a “school novel”, good fare for its age group, but stylistically ordinary, imaginatively derivative, and ethically rather mean-spirited.

I would prefer if JK was a normal and nice person, but it's also a good lesson for young adults to not deify people that create the art that they love. Humans are complex, and it's an unfortunate reality that someone who creates something very empathetic and meaningful to you can simultaneously be very morally misaligned with you.

Which is so funny because chromosomes can vary. I myself have Turners Syndrome, which means my chromosomes are X0 instead of XX like most women. Im also in the androgynous side. I often wonder what these bigots would consider me, even though I was AFAB and have always been happy identifying as a woman.

By the standards Rowling has set, it seems fair. She picks on other people for looking too masculine? Well, she has a long face with a square jaw and her shoulders are slightly wider than her hips. People wear makeup to hide their gender? Rowling wears a shit-ton of makeup.

They move the goalposts whenever they please. If you’re trans and on HRT to give you typical hormone levels and secondary sex characteristics, then they say the only thing that matters is assigned gender at birth and your genitalia. But if your assigned gender at birth and genitalia both match your gender, suddenly those mean nothing while hormone levels and secondary sex characteristics are the defining feature of gender.

She comes from a nation that would have executed her if she was trans, so there's no way she would have been able to compete in the Olympics if she was trans.

Conservatives for years: It doesn't matter if you cut off your dick, wear a dress and change your name. If you were born with a penis you're a man.

There's so many ways she could have gone about this without being a hateful, cruel person.
Her stated justification is being a feminist who fights for women's issues. That's cool. Indeed if she had more than a single issue it might be commendable.
But all she evert goes on about is that one single issue.
Even then, you could could come at the issue being one of wanting a debate, or honestly discuss issues.
But she doesn't. She spews hatred. She targets a teeny tiny minority of people and heaps misery on them.
She used to be an aspirational figure. A woman who made a success out of her life. A billionaire. Creating a loved franchise.
Perhaps most people still know her as the Harry Potter writer.
But she's making a good go of ensuring way more people recognise her as an anti-trans hate figure.

For a person who constantly whines about how mean people are to her online, Rowling can't consider for a second that being called ugly and unfeminine by millions of people might have affected Imane Khelif and made her want to be seen as more feminine? And, for a more cynical interpretation, you don't think the incredibly repressive country of Algeria, which operates under Sharia Law, might have some kind of vested stake in forcing who is now one of their most famous citizens to make a show of conforming to those repressive values by feminizing her image? JK Rowling is out here trying to get a woman stoned to death and I bet you she wouldn't give a fuck.

The thing is, JK, this woman has been participating in her sport for years, experiencing wins and losses. Suddenly, the Russian-led IBA, in a decision that benefited a Russian boxer, declares her ineligible for failing ‘unspecified eligibility tests’. Their president then started his own rumours about DNA results, however, a year later, ‘the IBA stated that Khelif and others “did not undergo a testosterone examination but were subject to a separate and recognized test, whereby the specifics remain confidential.”
The IOC made their decision because, as they stated, the IBA’s decision was “sudden and arbitrary” and “without any due process”. IOC further stated:
“According to the IBA minutes available on their website, this decision was initially taken solely by the IBA Secretary General and CEO. The IBA Board only ratified it afterward and only subsequently requested that a procedure to follow in similar cases in the future be established and reflected in the IBA Regulations. The minutes also say that the IBA should “establish a clear procedure on gender testing.”
Further, the IBA had already been suspended by the IOC back in 2019 due to governance issue, and since that time , Olympic boxing has been overseen by task force set up by the IOC.
Since then, we’ve seen some investigative journalism into the matter, with the Washington Post recently writing that “there never has been evidence that [...] Khelif [...] had XY chromosomes or elevated levels of testosterone”, and confirming that the IBA, again who are no longer sanctioned by the IOC, did not reveal the testing methodology, stating the “specifics remain confidential”.
Still, JK, it’s your right to question the IOC and their decisions, and you can certainly complain publicly about how the IOC did their duty. There are many avenues to pursue an outcome to satisfy your outrage. Taking it up directly with the IOC, for example, would be an adult thing to do.
It’s important to highlight that launching into a defamation campaign with no evidence of your victim’s wrongdoing, chowing down on conspiracy theorist’s baseless shit sandwiches of lies and regurgitating them with your own special flavour of hate, intolerance and stupidity requires far more time and effort than being respectful of a person’s rights as a human being, researching the whole of the issue and then making informed decisions about the proper legal, responsible and respectful way to proceed with your pursuit of Olympic justice.

All the things JK Rowling has been saying lately honestly makes me feel embarrassed for being a Harry Potter fan. I bought the books throughout my high school and college years. I have the movies. I have a couple pieces of merchandise. I do not support JK Rowling’s views on the transgender community and how she’s treating this boxer.

u/spaghettieggrolls Aug 24 '24
I can't believe she's still on this bullshit 🤦🏻♀️
For those who don't know, the reason Imane Kehlif was disqualified by the IBA for supposedly failing an unspecified gender test is because she beat a Russian fighter. The IBA, a notoriously corrupt organization run by notoriously corrupt Russian officials disqualified her for supposedly failing a gender test after her victory but never revealed any details about this and won't even say what kind of test it was (because then it will be easy to disprove). The IOC no longer associates with the IBA since their widespread corruption and affiliation with the Russian government came to light, so they did their own tests on Kehlif and found she was eligible. (source)
So basically, She Who Shall Not Be Named is taking the word of a discredited organization that is part of Russia's dystopian propaganda machine over the word of the IOC because she has stage 4 brainrot.
