    Horse. Shit. She's actively arguing to exclude women from women's bathrooms, among other things. Which has jack and shit to do with sex, particularly as biological sex isn't even binary to begin with and cannot be assessed that way.

    Stop confusing disagreement for hate.
    If I were to argue that blacks and whites can't integrate and it would be better for blacks to be kept separate, in their own spaces, where they can't bother the whites, I'd be a racist asshole.

    That's not "disagreement". It is hate. That's what the "disagreement" is; Rowling is hateful, and other people don't support her in that. Literally the issue, here.

    Why do you think separate bathrooms exist exactly if it has nothing to do with sex?

    Prudishness and moral panics.

    Do you have gender-separate bathrooms in your house?


    And this is beside the point. A transgender woman is a woman and trying to exclude her from the woman's bathroom because she's transgender is petty shit that serves no identifiable purpose other than to hurt and abuse transgender women.

    Transgender women just being used as the excuse since nobody seems to be having an issue with transgender men using the men's washroom. And the reason is because this is all a stupid-ass moral panic centered on hateful attitudes.

    How would a woman use a urinal?

    Edit: I’ve been in clubs that not only have unisex bathrooms, but even a DJ in the bathroom...

    It's almost like males commit the vast majority of both violent and sex related crimes. So of course people are going to be more concerned about males gaining access to female spaces than females gaining access to male spaces.

    Yes, there are and women need places away from men.

    Or should we celebrate rape centers being defunded again?

    You're just as hateful. Your posts are all about that tasty hate. You never post about anything else.
    Why not write a book about it? You've certainly become quite exemplary on such a feeling.

    Like... bathrooms? Women go to the bathroom, to get away from men?

    Or should we celebrate rape centers being defunded again?
    Could you provide a link to a “rape center“ and how many urinals they have?

    Uhm... there is literally a dude defending Rowing, arguing that women bathrooms are salvation from being raped by men. But... Ednus...

    So, your solution is to push trans women into the men's room with the demographic that is apparently violent and sexual abusive? How do you think this is good, exactly?

    Oh, yeah, and Rowling is just a dandy person. Her pals are great people.

    Legit the obsession with JK Rowling is unhealthy at times

    I think the mob has not dealt with someone that cannot only not be cancelled but actually bites back sometimes

    JK Rowling is great

    Um, trans women are part of that demographic that is more violent and sexually abusive.

    And they really like to show they are part of that demographic with all the violent threats they throw at any woman who disagrees with them like they did with JK Rowling.

    Yes, exactly. They are having a hard time threatening her into silence like they do other women. It's driving them crazy.

    Fun fact. The first bill to allow trans women to use women's facilities in 1974 in Minneapolis. Authorities have reported no one taking advantage of the law in 46 years.

    More importantly, if there is an epidemic of men assaulting people in bathrooms then wouldn't the logical legal solution be to enhance punishments for assault in bathrooms an, say, bar sex offenders from using public facilities altogether?

    Have you read the article???

    Its literally about de-radicalizing nazis

    https://forward.com/opinion/380510/w...ing-neo-nazis/

    I said this earlier but outrage culture would not be a thing if people actually bothered at least paying attention to what others say

    There's no discernible difference in the crime statistics between trans women and cis women.

    Is this where I get to break out the sheer insanity of TERFs attacking Margaret Atwood recently?

    Trans women maintain male levels of criminality.

    Yup, I read it. It's hyperbolic, which is what Parker was pointing out and I intentionally cut off. That's my entire point. You people (particularly TERFs) are built to exist on pure hyperbole. That's her entire schtick. That's Rowling's entire schtick. Nothing you guys claim is remotely connected to reality -- like claiming the neo-Nazis can be reasoned with or trans people existing making you out to be Nazis.

    I'm looking forward to burying you in data tonight if this doesn't get shut down, btw.

    Evidence? I bet you cite Dhejne. I'm going to directly quote her, just so you know.

    Edit: Let's do it anyway. Here she is, the author of the widely misquoted Swedishs tudy, doing a r/Science AMA a few years ago. Crime statistics:

    For combined transgender females and males and for the whole period 1973-2003 we saw an increased risk of being dead ( in suicide and cardio vascular diseases) and of being hospitalized for any psychiatric morbidity and for suicide attempts. We saw a positive time trend regarding mortality, suicide attempts and any crime and violent crime. For the last period (1989-2003) the transgender group did not have any elevated risk of being dead or being hospitalized for suicide attempts or committing any crime or violent crime. They had the same risk as the controls.

    I’ve been to clubs, where everyone is fucking high, with unisex, open bathrooms... I first went to this club about 3 years after this was filmed... It changed, but the “bath room” was still there... not as crowded... people were fucking, but not raping...
