And Then They Came For JK

It’s curious how those who cry out against censorship when their own views are being marginalized will then cry for censorship to silence any voice that dares to disagree with them.

This kind of growing fragmentation between centre-left neoliberals like Rowling and the Hard-Left has been building for a while, I’m just surprised at how quickly it’s deteriorated so suddenly. Thought it would take at least a few more years.

Anyway, while I see this as a kind of comeuppance for allowing the Hard-Left to piggyback onto their movements and conceding so much ground to them, and I don’t really agree with Rowling’s politics at all, I still can’t help but take her side on this. Because she’s just basically correct. The transgender activism has gone too far and a stand needs to be taken against them.

There’s nothing “transphobic” about Rowling’s stances. She’s been very cosmopolitan on this issue – But this insistence on erasing the distinction between male and female, to say there’s no difference between the two genders besides your body parts… It just demeans the very concepts of masculinity and femininity, and seems to undermine the whole desire to live the lifestyle of the opposite sex to begin with. Transgenderism, as a political movement, basically eats itself. It’s no wonder so many of its advocates seem so confused and keep making up more and more ridiculous terms in an effort to accommodate everyone. It’s going to collapse under its own weight before long.

I personally find the advocates, transgender or not, very sad people. For all their screaming about “pride,” they sure as hell don’t seem to have any. Just megalomania on full display.

Oh, yeah Radcliffe and other young actors should’ve just kept their mouths shut. No-one would’ve known who they were if it wasn’t for Rowling, so this comes off as throwing her under the bus for political clout.
