Hitting out at the trio, Rowling accused them of 'doxxing' her and trying to intimade her for 'speaking up for women's sex-based rights'. She named them as Holly Stars, Georgia Frost and Richard Energy.
She also revealed that she has received so many death threats over the trans row that she could 'paper the house with them'.
Holly Stars later posted a statement on social media saying they had removed the photo after being inundated with abuse. Stars is a popular drag queen with her own Amazon Prime series. She is also a stand-up comedian, comedy writer, cabaret host and seen as one of the UK's most popular drag talents.
She is the writer and star of west end show Death Drop, currently embarking on its first UK tour and also produces and presents a monthly Soho cabaret.
Richard Energy, one of the other activists, is a drag king and comedian who performs across London. He has appeared in several contests and is considered a growing star in the scene. Georgia Frost, the third activist, is an actress who has appeared in BBC productions including Casualty and sitcom The Other One.
All three activists have now taken down their Twitter accounts in light of the row.

Doxxing isn't good, but anyone who lives in Edinburgh could tell you where she lives, cause it's a big house with massive hedges. I remember when she was having the hedges cut, the cutter vehicles were in the road, causing traffic pissing people off.
Also, one of those Edinburgh bus tours include JK's house as one of their destinations - a bit like how London tour buses go by Buckingham Palace.
So yeah, not a nice thing to do, but Rowling is only pretending to give a shit because it gives her an excuse to post her repetitive Twitter threads and get patted on the back by the same people who kiss her arse all the time anyway.

"anyone who lives in Edinburgh" is not the same as tweeting her address for the whole world to see, r33, or harassing her outside her house.
Does she really "piss off" the locals by getting her hedges clipped? I thought people were complaining that she wasn't having them pruned! I'm sure people could walk around for the couple of hours or whatever there were vehicles outside her place - that's what I have to do every day with the commuters who park on my street. Don't the neighbours also get their bushes trimmed?
She must think she's just like royalty if tour buses go past her house and Buckingham Palace!
I'm not sure about "repetitive" Twitter threads, because she doesn't actually post much. If you want to see what a real insane cult following looks like, take a look at the trans cult.

R4 that would be zero of them. They are actually the safest demographic in European countries and pretty much most places except Brazil, and there they are killed because they are all prostitutes and drug addicts. Zero trans have been murdered in the UK for years.
There is no trans genocide, no trans are being murdered regularly any more than other groups, and especially not women, whose rights they are trying to usurp. It's all a lie. Rather than using the statistics to call attention to the problems in Brazil, they are using them to get sympathy for themselves everywhere else.

Instead of trying to get more funding to find solutions to gender dysphoria (which is not even required to be trans anymore, according to trans activists) they have settled on drugs and surgery as the ONLY solution. Any other research is squelched for "transphobia".

Twitter support did not remove their accounts. If they had, it would say "Account suspended".
First they locked their accounts, then (I assume) renamed them. They are likely still locked and existing under different usernames. On the plus side that means the one drag queen who had the verified account may lose her verified status.
It's also likely that they have been approached by the police by now, and informed that they are in legal trouble. If a woman in Scotland can get prosecuted for posting a photo of a bow pin on her Twitter and a trans activist claiming it looks like a tiny noose and they felt afraid, they can damn well sure get prosecuted for this.

As an aside, some of the articles they're posting saying that her house was already photographed are funny. First there's the article about the city ordering her to cut the (already existing) 30 foot tall cypress hedge running along the street because it was too tall and unruly.
Then there's another article from another paper interviewing her neighbors who are complaining that the street has been partially blocked off so the landscape crews can safely from these hedges that are facing the street. Like, it's not her fault that the city forced her to trim them.
In any case none of these articles divulge her actual address and the photos they show of the house have the address obscured. It's not that it was unknown or couldn't be discovered; it was the trans activists photographing themselves in front of her house with the address plainly visible, while they were holding trans protest signs. They were sending a message and a threat - see, we can get to you anywhere you are. And by the way, everyone, if you didn't know her address, here you go! Don't do anything crazy, now! *wink*

Like really, the only thing she's received publicity for in the last decade is her spat with trans rights activists. Can anyone name a single non-Harry Potter book that she's ever written? When you start becoming more known for your spats with people on Twitter than your actual literary work, you've lost the fucking plot and it's time to shut off the phone and get back to work.
Like with the endless spam threads on Meghan Markle and the royals, I really do feel that a subsection of British Daily Mail readers found their way here to post shit anonymously against Black people and other minorities.

And... the Cormoran Strike series of novels has already been adapted into a well-received detective show playing on UK televisions, for four seasons now, and going into the fifth soon! It's called C.B. Strike. The trans issue didn't get the show cancelled, because people like it and don't care about TRA whining on social media.

So you have posters like the one above who simultaneously claim she's a has-been as well as claiming she's a transphobe when she is nothing of the sort. They WANT it to be true, but just like men can't become women and vice versa, they can't disappear her with tantrums, threats, and other bullying.
That's why whenever she posts anything, there's so many of them that post little nasty comments and just SEETHE, whereas the majority of comments are positive and supportive, so theirs really stand out as the childish tantrums they are. They aren't used to not getting their way.
That's also why when one of these threads appears there's always a few white knights who think they're going to shut them down by calling everyone transphobes or "anti-trans", whatever that means, usually posting "so exhausted y'all" exasperated sounding comments and simultaneously accusing the entire DL of transphobia as well as saying it's just one or two right wing trolls.

R71 she wrote an adult novel called The Casual Vacancy, some Harry Potter spinoffs (that were turned into huge movies within the last seven or eight years), and some adult mystery novels.
All of which sell more than most writers could ever dream.
She's the most famous author in the world (with Stephen King).
So... there's that. And probably a lot more a quick Wiki search could help you with.
It's cool if you dislike her. But acting like she's somehow not relevant is poor logic given the glaringly obvious facts that prove otherwise.

The Trans Murder Countdown thing is fucking ridiculous. We had a murder in our city recently...a young woman killed in rather nice neighborhood (that she didn't live in) when she confronted some dude who had "ripped" her off. Well, the dude killed her and then a few weeks later, it comes out she's trans and now it's a Trans Hate Crime even though there doesn't seem to be any indication at all that her trans identity had anything to do with her murder.
But, if you dare suggest that she wasn't murdered because of her identity, you'd get shouted down for being transphobic.....even though insisting her death MUST be related to her identity is actually even more transphobic.

Some of the responses from the trans/trans activists are "they shouldn't have done this BUT she had it coming for existing", some are "omg why won't she shut uppppppp", some are "well technically her house can be found via Google anyway so she's just grandstanding and people taking a photo holding trans signs in front of her address is in no way an obvious threat and invitation to others to harass her in real life", some are "fuck JK Rowling!" with no context (performative only).
And a very tiny, tiny few of them are like "this is never okay, full stop" without qualifications or reminding everyone how much they hate her and how she's somehow literally killing trans people by existing.
So very MALE reactions all around. Similar to how if a woman says she's been raped, you have a lot of the "yes but she was dressed like a slut" types coming out of the woodwork.

[quote]hire some security, put up some fencing, something
She already has hedges/fencing and security, the address has been publicly known for years because it's her business address plus it's a tourist stop. It's been photographed in the news multiple times over the course of a decade because of neighbors complaining about the hedge and some treehouses she had put in. It's got its own Wikipedia page, plus it's an advertised stop on multiple local tours including one mentioned on the city of Edinburgh's official webpage.
When she moved from her previous home to this one, the Daily Mail had a lengthy article about both homes, giving locations of both.
None of that was doxxing but this is, supposedly.

R126 there's a huge difference between them and making a photo directly in front of her house where she lives with her kids, with the address clearly visible and unblurred (and the photo taken so it is clearly visible), with three trans activists holding signs decrying her opinions, then posting said photo to social media in order to make sure as many people as possible see it, including Rowling herself.
That is them sending a clear message of intimidation, saying "see - we know where you live, and we can find you in real life. If you didn't know her address, you do now! Don't do anything crazy *wink*".
It is not activism, it is harassment and dangerous, because even though she may have security, all it takes is one nutjob to slip past it and cause her serious harm. And because she is being pilloried as subhuman, a woman that needs to be told to shut up and put in her place by a movement that is mainly led by aggressive males, it takes upon an even darker turn.
You are blind or lying if you can't see that. And in the UK, this sort of behavior is actually against the law, so yes, the police will be involved and those who attempted this act of clear physical, real life threatening intimidation will hopefully see justice served to them.
But please. Bleat more about how "trans are so oppressed" and clearly the victims in all this, and it's Rowling who is to blame for the crime of being a woman with a (correct) opinion that happens to piss off a lot of aggressive men.

Maybe J.K. Rowling should do a sit down special with members of the Trans community where she can say what she means right in front of them on camera for a television audience.
Therefore, Trans people will see she's not an enemy. But someone whose just stating her view point as a woman etc. I bet something like that would get big ratings. Almost kinda like a "red table talk" type of format.
She has the power to set something up like that and bbc or channel 4 could air it. I'm sure she has enough pull to get something like that on the air in the UK. And whatever money is generated from that special. J.K. Rowling could just give it to some Trans organization etc.

I can completely understand why this doxing forced Rowling to comment. She has other homes, including one with 24 hour street security in London, but Edinburgh has been her home for decades. It’s where she has lived most of her adult life, before and after her great success.
She has brought up her children there. Her husband works locally as a doctor. And until now, even though she is richer than God, she has led as normal a life as possible. She lives in an extremely affluent area, with great public schools for her young son if she chose not to educate him in a state school. But Edinburgh (especially the wealthier parts) is a city with a very old-fashioned, middle-class sensibility: her neighbours would rather die than treat her differently because of her cash or her fame. Even though everyone knows who she is, I imagine it is one of the few places where she feels relatively normal. She is not going to get the same illusion of normality if she lives in a gated community in LA, or in a London townhouse.
It must be frightening to have a lifestyle you have come to love be jeopardised by three lunatic attention-seekers.

Hence the deception, lies, misdirection, and discredited scientific journals.
Also, they have the ability to read everything she has said now, and they don't. None of them will watch an entire special except maybe a handful, and it will be cut down to clips that eliminate nuance so she will be made to look as bad as possible. It will never work.

This is her response to the Rowling post. Notice how she doesn't even pretend to care about the obvious threat and intimidation. She just frames it as Rowling using her huge platform to attack the forever weak, pitiful, fragile, sensitive trans. The 4th rate drag queens that prompted all of it? Totally ignored.
And of course she frames it around "the children" as if her goal was purely helping and saving them. Medical transitioning provides NO mental health benefit and trans people still need therapy to deal with their myriad issues.

I totally agree, r165, and I believe this about a lot of the trans activists. They still hate themselves, and even more than if they hadn't transitioned, but believe that the only way they can feel better about themselves now is if there are as many trans as possible, especially kids, so that they won't feel like such suckers for being the only idiot who did this to themselves. They need to convince themselves that it's essential for for people to transition otherwise they'll have to admit to themselves that they made a mistake.

Stephen Fry recently posted, then deleted, a ridiculous video that "explained" intersex as a construct and why biological sex is a spectrum.
He's a typical posh British man who has serious misogyny problems.
A video (I think from QI) of Emma Thompson talking about how she terrorised him by showing him her breasts or taking her clothes off in front of him was recently shared widely on Twitter. Fry is the kind of gay misogynist who loathes the female body and is repulsed but it, but considers lesbians bigots for not being attracted to penises.

R207 he is of the age where he probably thinks that the nonbinaries are just like the cross dressing gender benders of his time.
The whole thing with the trans movement is that if you stop to think it through, you will come to an uncomfortable truth and realize you can't support the gender dogma. That's why "no debate!" and the mantras like "trans women are women, trans men are men" are a thing. It's a religion, and people react the same way they would if their religion was questioned.
They can't believe that people are actually concerned about children going on puberty blockers, they think we are disengenuous or lying and just using them as an excuse because we are "anti-trans". The reason for that is because if they start to think we are genuine in our concerns, they might have to consider why, and then their whole religion would be undermined.
That's why you have trolls like the handful haunting this thread and posting spiteful, pointless comments here and there. The only way they can hold onto their religion is by assuming we are arguing in bad faith, and thus they never really have to look into what is being done in their name, because then they might have to think it through themselves.
Far easier and safer for their own worldciew to just call us all "anti-trans" and other ad hominems.

And there isn't a plague of transphobia that needs to be "cured". Trans people are actually some of the safest demographics in the UK and in a lot of places. There is no epidemic of trans deaths, there's no need for "trans day of rememberance", unless you want to count the Brazilian transvestite hookers that get murdered frequently because they are drug addicts and prostitutes in a very dangerous part of the world, and they aren't killed any more than other minority groups there, either.
But I don't see any trans activist trying to save these Brazilian prostitutes. They just use the deaths to get to manipulate people in their own countries, where deaths due to transphobia are almost non-existent.

R143 I don't get this. I understand being dead against men who say they're trans but don't go on hormones or even think about gender reassignment surgery - so essentially they're men - in order to try to get into female prisons, for example. Fully understand that stance and support it.
However, in this case a tweet was posted by the Police that was intended to commemorate trans people who've died as a result of anti-transgender violence. Which seems fair enough to me, given commemorating anyone who's died from hate crimes is a noble thing to do.
So this woman then thinks it's appropriate to make a vexatious complaint to the Police because they haven't done the same for disabled people. Normally she targets the people in my first paragraph but now she's targeting the police for a tweet about trans people who've died. And people cheer her on for it?

R241 because the whole "transgender day of remembrance" is just another way they manipulate the public by keeping alive this false idea that trans people are being persecuted, wiped out, and deserve special protection. It's a grift on the public and is not validated by actual fact. Trans people are one of the safest demographics in the UK.
The people complaining did so because they think the government agencies should not be taking sides in the gender debate, especially because of the way hate crimes are reported in the UK, which is it's based on if anyone FEELS that a hate crime was committed against them. That's all it takes to get a record on the books at the police department is for someone to say that you made them feel unsafe. In person, on Twitter, wherevrer.
The police posting things like this tells the people on the gender critical side that their voices don't matter and also shows that the police department has been won over by the gender cult. Since the trans activists have been using the police as a weapon by filing vexatious complaints against people based on tweets they don't like, it is an actual concern as it shows the police are not impartial.
There is an additional layer here where trans are trying to get police departments from recording crimes with the sex of the offender, which is a valuable statistic. A bunch of police departments have been following that lead (led by organizations like Stonewall UK) and that is also something the gender critical are pushing back on, this far unsuccessfully.
Hope that clears up any confusion.

R143, who exactly has died from "anti-trans violence". Very few trans people are killed, in the US or globally and practically none ever in the UK.

You don't hear any of the trans organizations calling for specific reform in Brazil, where the problem is occurring. The statistics are used to globally boost the numbers so that trans can continue the myth (started by themselves) that they are the most persecuted victims ever. They even have made the claim that they are the true victims of the Holocaust because they were allegedly the first ones Hitler targeted. They mourn the shutting down of the German Sex Institute (by Hitler) where they were performing gender change surgeries on gay men in order to turn them "straight", and performing experiments on gay men such as transplanting testicles from more "masculine" people (and animals, I think) to try to turn them straight. And they think that was progressive.

r250 I realize this isn't exactly your point, but there actually isn't a large need for the BLM movement in the UK, the UK does not have the history that the US does as far as having black slaves (at least locally). They actually have a lot more public visibility of different races through their public networks and newspapers. There's general racism but it's moreso for Islamic types and Eastern Europeans. You can't film anything in the UK without having to have a diverse cast, either.
BLM makes more sense in the US where we have a specific problem with police targeting black people as well as a general network of laws and restrictions that were originally designed with subjugating black people in mind.

r250 it's not the same thing as straight people whining about gay pride at all, though. Gay people are persecuted everywhere in the world with a few exceptions in Western countries. Trans people are actually ENCOURAGED in places like Iran, so that if the person has gender change surgery the person is no longer considered gay and therefore isn't an abomination. That is because trans encourages and reinforces gender stereotypes. Even the nonbinary trans express their specialness by utilizing gender stereotypes.
Again, trans are under no specific threat, and what they really mean when they are "fighting for trans rights" is that they want to take rights away from another protected group - women. There's anti-persecution laws already on the books in most Western countries, specifically for trans.
They also want things like free gender change surgeries (essentially all plastic surgery) and they want gender change surgeries prioritized at the same level as having a tumor removed because of the threat that if they don't get what they want, they will kill themselves. Yet they actively fight against mental health initiatives to learn more about treating gender dysphoria (gender change surgery has been shown NOT to have any specific mental health benefit) on the claim that this is "conversion therapy".
It just is not the same thing.

I'd be fascinated to know where in South Wales you are because the Welsh Ambulance Service Trust is one of the poorest performing ambulance trusts in the UK.
As for free medicine, yes prescriptions are free but barely 10% of people in England pay for theirs.

R260 welcome to the thread. Perhaps you should read some of it, any of it, before dumping yet another ad hominem attack in lieu of discussing any of the issues raised by "this woman" or the posters here. It's tiresome and boring.
I will comment on the "people who are against gay marriage" remark though - I think I know what you are referring to (even if you don't and are just parroting something you saw elsewhere on social media). It may surprise you to learn that there is a subset of gay people, and in this specific case a radical feminist, who don't think gay marriage is the solution to gay equality. The reason behind that is not any sort of religious or right-wing stance, though - it is because they don't think we, as gay people, should be copying the norms and customs of straight people. They look back at the entire reason marriage was invented and think - no. We do not want this for ourselves. They want something new for gay people that is wholly ours, and they don't want to call it what they see is the tired and misogynistic "marriage", when women were property.
Keep in mind women are still property in a lot of the world, and in the US for example they've only had the ability to vote for the past hundred years. So I can understand her logic and reasoning even if I don't agree with it myself.
If you just read the headline, you would never know or understand the reasoning behind that sort of thinking. I've not even done it the justice it deserves, just sharing what I have read of WHY they think that, because I was curious, too. Like most things, the devil is in the details.

r268 that wasn't what he was referring to. I think it's Julie Bindel who has said in the past she didn't agree with the idea of gay marriage, for the reasons I mentioned in r265.
Incidentally I was living in Ireland when the gay marriage referendum passed. I remember getting knocks on my door multiple times for people wanting to get out the vote. It was a real win and young people like them made it happen.

r269 it's unlikely that would ever happen in a childrens' movie, which Harry Potter is marketed to. Based on what Rowling has said I expect she wishes it were otherwise. Hopefully we will at least get more than thinly-implied romance though.

Oh also to add to r265 - the whole "x is against conversion therapy!" claim (another claim I've seen people making in regards to Rowling) comes from something like that, too. The issue is that trans activists are trying to get saying "what if you're just gay and not actually the opposite sex?" and helping children work through their gender dysphoria with talk therapy, outlawed, and they are attaching it (like they have most other things) to legislation that is intended to outlaw gay conversion therapy. Gender critical people are trying to stop that attachment from happening.

R265 If they don't want to get married, because they don't like the concept of marriage, then they're free not to get married.
The idea of a group of gay people wanting to deny all gay people the choice of getting married just because they themselves don't want it is pretty shitty.

R273 Sounds like Julie Bindel was. The poster above said she was against gay marriage because she didn't think "we, as gay people, should be copying the norms and customs of straight people".
I'm a single gay guy and I may never want to get married - but I want any gay couple who do to have the option. Not ban it because it's a thing straight people do (which is naff reasoning and creates an us vs them mentality).

They never made that claim, you're misinterpreting them as saying that Bindel opposed same-sex marriage for others, when what that poster is saying (albeit not entirely clearly) is that Bindel has a position against marriage as an institution for all. She never tried to stop same-sex marriage or said the government should abandon its plans, she simply gave her overall opinion on marriage. Which is her right. But the anti-gay liars of Stonewall and similar trans lobby groups, who are trying to destroy the LGB Alliance - which Julie Bindel isn't part of - keep coming out with this bullshit that LGB Alliance opposes gay marriage. They also come out with similar bullshit about JK Rowling, claiming she uses the pseudonym Robert Galbraith because she supports gay conversion therapy. It's all bullshit.

r273 There's a difference between having an opinion and actively campaigning against it, soliciting for money to stop gay marriage, etc. - she did none of those things. You seem to be assuming that just because she is known for having that view that somehow she had influence on policy. Clearly she didn't. And that isn't a unique view among certain feminists and gay people. So frown upon the view all you like, but it's silly to blame Rowling for retweeting someone who has a fairly classic feminist view about marriage, gay or straight, that was totally unrelated to the issue at hand and had no impact on anything.
It is just YET ANOTHER ad hominem attack, because it is apparently much easier to do that and set up all of these weird purity tests than it is to actually engage in debate or arguments over the issues being raised. And it's beyond tiresome!

r278 You're totally misreading what I wrote, then. I never said that Bindel ~campaigned~ against gay marriage, merely that she had an opinion on it, and the entire reason I mentioned her at all was because I was trying to explain the vague reference an earlier poster made to "Rowling retweeting someone who opposed same sex marriage". By itself, that claim makes one think of some religious right nutjob, and that is not Bindel at all. But to understand that, you'd have to know what you were talking about and not just be reposting someone else's content and context-free tweet-length comment.

r283 the fact that anyone willfully misread that and then used it to attack Bindel is beyond parody. It shows you the dishonesty inherent in these sorts of activists, and/or the level of autism in people who can't detect humor (the trans community on the whole has a much higher amount of autistic members than other communities). The fact that people uncritically repeat what these people then claim is a big part of the problem.
Whenever I have seen people try to show Rowling's actual words - what she wrote about gender theory and trans - there's almost always someone who posts a YouTube link or a link to someone else's 84 part Twitter thread that ostensibly "debunks" what Rowling has said in its entirety. But the chances of them having read either what Rowling said, or what the activist wrote to try to defuse her arguments, are slim to none.
I've read those threads, and watched those YouTubes, and they don't do what the people claim. Instead they are just the same techniques used elsewhere, which is a hodgepodge of logical fallacies, debunked or misinterpreted scientific studies, unscientific Twitter polls, and emotionally manipulative specious claims, among others.

r287 I agree with your concern for child safeguarding. I also think there needs to be more research into gender dysphoria and treatment options. If nothing else, getting mental health treatment for gender dysphoria slows down the process, because the statistics show that the overwhelming majority of children and teens with dysphoria grow out of it. I do not understand the mentality among trans activists that they have to RUSH to get these gender dysphoric kids into lifelong medical treatment before they have a chance to grow out of it - which again, is much more likely than the other way around - and I can only come to the conclusion that there is malicious intent behind it.
Of course, if these kids are pumped full of messages saying they are at high risk of committing suicide without what is billed as the only method for treating gender dysphoria (medical intervention), then they may not even grow out of it because they're led to think that this solution is the quick-fix for all of their problems. It may even lead them to try to commit suicide, because if they are refused medical intervention, then they have the message that suicide or horrific suffering is the only alternative.
The current environment is that it's transphobic and "conversion therapy" to try to find a method other than lifelong medical intervention, because "if a person says they are trans, they are, and have always been trans, no debate." which just reinforces all of the above.

[quote]In a report seen by The Telegraph, 197 prisoners serving sentences in England and Wales identified as transgender in 2021, a 21 per cent jump from 163 in 2019.
[quote]In a separate category are offenders who hold a gender recognition certificate (GRC), a document that legally recognises their change in gender. This year’s Offender Equalities Annual Report is expected to confirm for the first time that the number of prisoners who hold a GRC is 23, although it is understood that the figure is still being investigated.
[quote]Of the 197 prisoners who are living as the opposite gender in prison, but not legally recognised as such, the overwhelming majority were men identifying as women, the figures show.
[quote]“When asked about the gender with which the prisoner identified from the following categories, 146 identified as female, 39 as male, 11 as non-binary and one did not provide a response," the Offender Equalities Annual Report states.
[quote]The report, which found that more than half of prisons (56 per cent) in the country had one or more transgender inmate, acknowledges that the figures are “likely to underestimate” the true number of prisoners who identify as the opposite gender.
[quote]In 2016, 70 prisoners identified as transgender. This increased to 125 in 2017, 139 in 2018 and 163 in 2019. No data was collected in 2020 due to the pandemic.
[quote]Of the 163 prisoners who identified as the opposite gender in the 2019 report, 130 identified as female, 20 as male and 13 did not provide a response.
[quote]Campaigners said the figures show a “significant yearly increase in the number of male prisoners identifying as transgender”.
[quote]“As the numbers increase, so does the risk to women in prison due to MoJ policies that permit some of these prisoners to be housed in the female estate,” Kate Coleman, from Keep Prisons Single Sex, said.
[quote]The latest figures come after a landmark ruling in the High Court this summer in which senior judges concluded that it was lawful to house transgender women, who were born men, in the female prison estate.

[quote]The Fairness For All Act (FFAA), an all-Republican bill that would make SOGI a federally protected class in return for certain “right to discriminate” carve-outs for dissenting religious institutions, was originally introduced in 2019 by Representative Chris Stewart of Utah. Stewart, whose district went for Donald Trump by 16 points in 2020 — up two from 14 points in 2016 — reintroduced the bill at the outset of the 2021 congressional session with the backing of such well-known Republicans as Elise Stefanik, Nancy Mace, and Burgess Owens.
[…]
[quote]And even on their own terms, those religious exceptions are questionable. FFAA protects the conscience rights of defined religious institutions — churches, religious charities, and so on. It does not protect most individuals, even if those individuals object to something like gender ideology on an authentically religious basis. Most businesses with more than 15 employees are subject to the legislation’s definition of “public accommodations,” meaning that they would run afoul of civil-rights law for objecting to the progressive line on gender and sexuality.
[quote]But FFAA’s threats to the American constitutional order go above and beyond the rights of religious individuals and business owners. So-called “trans-exclusionary radical feminists” who reject gender ideology on the grounds that it erases women, physicians who do not want to mutilate children’s bodies by prescribing puberty blockers or performing irreversible sex-change surgeries, coaches who want to protect their female athletes from biologically male competitors, and any number of other secular dissenters from gender ideology are not afforded rights under FFAA’s framework. Rather, acting on the belief that men and women exist as distinct biological categories — let alone the belief that men and women exist for one another, both in terms of sexual ethics and the definition of marriage — would be viewed as legitimate only on religious grounds, and relatively narrow ones at that.
[quote]This is perhaps the most fundamental problem with the law, from a traditionalist perspective: By making SOGI a protected class in the eyes of the federal government, FFAA encodes into American law the fundamental lie that men can become women.
[quote]It’s also why the majority of the House GOP has not bought into the arguments made by FFAA’s Republican backers. “What this bill will do is use the hammer of the law to bludgeon people into submission who have dissenting views,” says Vicky Hartzler (Mo.), a strong opponent of the bill who is running for Senate in Missouri in 2022.
Homophobic Republicans would rather have "straight" trans kids than gay ones.

Ray Blanchard on transgender women:
[quote]categorizes trans women (that is, natal males who identify as women) into two discrete groups.
[quote]The first group is composed of ‘androphilic’ (sometimes termed ‘homosexual’) trans women, who are exclusively sexually attracted to men and are markedly feminine in behaviour and appearance from a young age. They typically begin the process of medical transition before the age of 30.
[quote]The second group are motivated to transition as a result of what Blanchard termed ‘autogynephilia’: a sexual orientation defined by sexual arousal at the thought or image of oneself as a woman. Autogynephiles are typically sexually attracted to women, although they may also identify as asexual or bisexual. They are more likely to transition later in life and to have been conventionally masculine in presentation up until that point.
[quote]Although Blanchard’s typology is supported by a wide range of sexologists and other researchers, it is strongly rejected by most trans activists who dispute the existence of autogynephilia.

Some schools will fire you for that, R355; absolute submission is often required, partial compliance and compromise are not acceptable.
[quote]In the summer of 2018, a transgender student at West Point High School in West Point, Va., had transitioned, asking his French teacher to refer to him with masculine pronouns: he, him, his.
[quote]But the instructor, Peter Vlaming, did not comply, he said in a lawsuit. Citing his religious beliefs, he promised to use only the student’s name and avoid pronouns entirely. Administrators, he said, eventually gave the teacher an ultimatum: use the student’s correct pronouns or face disciplinary action.
[quote]Then, on Oct. 31, 2018, his second-year French students wore virtual-reality goggles and walked around the classroom. The transgender student seemed about to crash when the teacher told another student to help.
[quote]“Don’t let her hit the wall,” Vlaming shouted.
[quote]That was the last straw for the student, who withdrew from Vlaming’s class. But it was also the last straw for school officials, who suspended the teacher for insubordination, and from the school board, which later fired him, citing how Vlaming had repeatedly ignored orders from his bosses.

Do you know what fascism is, R394?
Here are three definitions:
[quote]1) “Fascism is the pursuit of a transcendent and cleansing nation-statism through paramilitarism.”
[quote]Definition of terms:
[quote]· Transcendence: Belief that the state can transcend social conflict and blend all social classes into a harmonious whole. Belief in the power of political ideology to transcend human nature and produce a better world.
[quote]· Cleansing (ethnic): Favoring one or more ethnic or racial groups over others, either by granting special privileges or imposing disabilities; deportation of ethnic minorities, or worse.
[quote]· Cleansing (political): Silencing the political opposition so that the transcendent aims of fascism can be realized. Restricting the freedom of speech, outlawing opposition parties, imprisoning political opponents (or worse) and indoctrinating youth in fascist principles.
[quote]· Statism: Promoting a high degree of state intervention in personal, social, or economic matters. Belief that the state can accomplish anything.
[quote]· Nationalism: Traditional nationalism holds that the common good can best be realized through the inherent unity of a population with distinct linguistic, physical, or cultural characteristics, and its identification with a nation-state. This form of nationalism is benign, as the Swiss and Danes illustrate. Malignant nationalism holds that the nation possesses special attributes that make it superior to other nations in most or all ways. This form is potentially dangerous, and became so in fascist states.
[quote]· Paramilitarism: "Grass roots", populist squadrism aimed at coercing opponents and obtaining popular approbation by acting as a supplementary police force.
[quote]2) “Fascism may be defined as a form of political behavior marked by obsessive preoccupation with community decline, humiliation or victimhood and by compensatory cults of unity, energy and purity, in which a massed-based party of committed nationalist militants, working in uneasy but effective collaboration with traditional elites, abandons democratic liberties and pursues with redemptive violence and without ethical or legal restraints goals of internal cleansing and external explansion.”
[quote]3) “Fascism is a form of political and social behavior that arises when the middle class, finding its hopes frustrated by economic instability coupled with political polarization and deadlock, abandons traditional ideologies and turns, with the approbation of police and military forces, to a poorly-defined but emotionally appealing soteriology of national unity, immediate and direct resolution of problems, and intolerance for dissent.”
To summarize all three definitions: A fascist ideology is a poorly defined but emotionally appealing ideology that is enforced by elites and grass roots militants intolerant of dissent. It is obsessed with victimhood, abandons democratic liberties and established truths, favors one group over another and grants that group special privileges while silencing any opposition, restricting freedom of speech, enacting a state mandated unifying language and indoctrinating youth. Fascists use coercion, intimidation and violence to systematically eliminate non-believers without legal repercussions.
This describes right wing ideology and transgender ideology but it does not describe so-called terfdom.

The article at R406 explains that Selena Reyes-Hernandez, a 37 year old who picked up a teenage high school student or sex, had had her vital records changed.
[quote]I reached out to the medical examiner’s office about the most recent deadnaming incident and was told they are required to report what is known in vital records. The medical examiner personnel indicated that if someone wishes to have their vital records changed to reflect authentic name and gender marker, resources are available. This is true, but Black and Latinx transgender people have disproportionately more difficulty accessing these resources, with financial and legal barriers preventing them from updating their own records. These barriers must be removed.
So despite provisions being in place for self ID, this trans person didn't change their legal records.

I clicked on that news without realising it was Penis News.
Then saw another story about Freddie McConnell, the trans man who is angry that he is recorded as the legal mother of the baby who grew in his womb and was delivered by being pushed out of Freddie's vagina.
Apparently there are THOUSANDS of LGBTQIA+ people affected by the birthing parents being recorded as the mother, and Freddie is being FORCED to travel to Sweden to give birth to his second child, again using his vagina, to be recorded as the child's father.
These are two quotes from the article
[quote]his situation is particularly acute for families where one or more parents are trans or non-binary: as PinkNews reported last month, thousands of British children are being disadvantaged from the moment they’re born by an archaic UK law from the 1950s that insists whoever gives birth to a baby can only be recorded as the mother on the birth certificate.
[quote]“As an almost-comically rough guide, a bit of data from the Australian government (captured unintentionally) showed that 22 trans men gave birth there in 2018 alone,” Freddy McConnell adds. “Australia has a relatively small population of about 25 million. “Anecdotally, I estimate there to be thousands of families with birthing dads in the world and certainly many thousands with a trans parent of any kind.”

How do these people not understand that a birth certificate is not FOR the parents, and is not OWNED by the parents? It is the infant's, period-- and that infant has every right to know who gave birth to him/her. These people who whine constantly about "deadnaming" and "wrong pronouns" are perfectly fine with confiscating and altering someone else's first medical and legal document, all while using deceptively folksy language such as "birthing dads."
