Yes to the first, not quite to the second.
There are, in fact, plenty of lesbian and non-white TERFs. Though even the lesbians among them can be homophobic at times (against gay men).
Now, as for Rowling’s post…
Trans people already have all the rights everyone else in society has,
Ah, yes. Exactly like the good old “Gay people already have all the rights everyone else in society has”.
We heard it a million times.
“Gay people have exactly the same rights as everyone else… to marry and have sex with an opposite-sex person.”
Yes, they did.
And it was unjust and wrong to not also give them the rights to marry and have sex with a same-sex person, or same-gender, or any damn consenting adult “who would have them,” as you, Joanne Kathleen Rowling, would say.
Some people, as it turns out, need rights that apply differently than is the norm for most people.
And your argument against us trans folks is just as tired and worthless as that of the homophobes.
but some (not all) trans people demand that women give up rights
Aww, how “nice” of you to use that hedge, and not paint all of us with the same brush. How reasonable of you.
Well, fuck that noise. Essentially the only trans people who would be covered by that “not all” of yours are the self-hating ones who outright share your TERF views.
I proudly subscribe to the rest whom you condemn.
but some (not all) trans people demand that women give up rights: the right to single-sex spaces, to fair sport and to freedom of speech.
Oh yes. We do. To the aforementioned ‘rights’ as you, J. K. Rowling, see and understand them.
But not otherwise.
No marginalised group has ever demanded that rights be stripped from other protected group
My sister in Dworkin, have you EVER seen a marginalized group?
PLENTY of people from marginalized groups have been awful to others marginalized or protected groups, even to the point of wanting to strip rights from other such groups.
And I’m not even talking merely about TERFs having done so (though that certainly holds true!).
and no other supposedly marginalised group has ever been indulged by politicians, police and elite institutions to the extent the trans lobby has.
You know what?
Fuck you.
And not just for the “supposedly marginalised” bit.
Yes, we are SOOOOO bloody indulged…
…by the politicians who right now, at this moment, across the Western and non-Western world, use us as one of their favorite punching bags and scapegoats.
…or by the elite institutions who spend an awful lot of time drafting, proposing, pushing and enshrining laws and measures specifically targeting us and marking us as a menace and danger to society.
…or by the cops who also target us, from everyday indignities all the way to v-coding.
Now, Joanne here has probably heard what the last one is… but either doesn’t give a damn or outright denies it’s a thing.
And frankly, in her case, I don’t care to do a search and find out. Exposing myself to her filth is just bad for mental health, and I have WAY better things to do with my time than sift through years and years of this shit-crusader’s drivel.
Edit: Oh, and I only just noticed the ‘trans lobby’ part.
Yeees. “Politicians, police and elite institutions” all bow down to our so-called lobby. The all-powerful lobby of us 1% of the population.
Rowling, do you know who you sound like?
Care to take a guess?
But no, that cannot be! You so love the Jews, and have sympathy for Israel, and all that jazz! Surely you wouldn’t, right?
…Right?
