MODERATORS
I'm a Conservative championing Genital Inspections on Children to make sure ONLY PEOPLE with Vaginas play Girl's Sports but also THIS Women with a Vagina is ACTUALLY A MAN!
It's about PROTECTING WOMEN! And if I have to hurt a bunch of women to protect them from hypothetical scenarios I made up to demonize trans people, so be it!
JKR is so far off base here that even if you are a dyed-in-the-wool TERF this is basically impossible to defend.
Gate-keeping feminity by excluding women born with a vagina who are too butch by your opinion to be considered "women" is going too far... even if you are otherwise onboard with gate-keeping "womanhood" from trans women.
It's just proof that the F in TERF is a lie. Rowling is in no way a feminist, even if you define feminism as only promoting the rights of cis women.
Rowling is not a feminist, she's a bigot who thinks that cis women who don't pass her requirements for femininity and whiteness count as women.
Don't forget the criteria of what makes a women, women constantly changes to fit whatever warped narrative they have.
Conservatives have a real fixation on people's gentials. Not the fun, sexy way more like a weird, pervy way.
Sorry, was I wrong to be a hateful bigot and use my celebrity to spread hate?
