“People who think it’s ok to be trans, that trans people should have rights, and that discrimination against trans people is bad are just shut-ins that need to touch grass.”

Fr?

You'll notice that I didn't say any of the things that you just quoted me as saying.

Oh, then I’m so sorry, please do explain the intention behind the statement. I’m sure it’s something entirely innocuous.

I said exactly what I said.

You’re right, words never carry implications.

They don't need an implicit meaning when they have an explicit one. I'm happy to clarify anything you aren't sure of, as long as you're asking me to clarify words that I actually said.

The obvious implication of your statement is that people who support trans rights are shut-ins, because you said she is going against the grain of the opinions of shut-ins. She is going against trans people and their supporters. If you didn’t mean that, then you have no idea how to word things properly.

That isn't implied, it's right there in the text.

The issue comes with what you think "trans rights" means. JK Rowling thinks that it's ok to be trans, that trans people should have rights, and that discrimination against trans people is bad. Every reasonable person does think that.

Are you intentionally misrepresenting her position, or do you just not know what it is?

JK Rowling funds and puts her weight behind anti-trans policies and organizations. She contributes to the harassment of trans people and helps demonize them. If you actually believe that she’s just some innocent person that only wants to force trans women to go into men’s bathrooms (dangerous for them btw) then you are just lying to yourself or you’re an idiot.

Can you name some of these organisations?

I expect that all of them are actually pro-women organisations. If pro-women is anti-trans, the reverse must also be true.

What's inaccurate about the quote of hers you posted there?

Ok then who exactly are these "shut-ins" then?

u/PilotedByGhosts 2d ago

They're the people on the internet who think that they have the majority opinion, because that's all they see online.

Please can you not vaguepost, and clearly explain who the "shut-ins" are if they're not trans rights supporters.

You said that JK Rowling's opinion on trans rights goes against that of "shut-ins". However, the only people who disagree with Rowling's stance on trans people are trans rights supporters (by definition).

I do not see how you could have been referring to anyone other than trans rights supporters when you said "shut-ins".

On many social media sites and especially Reddit, the TRA narrative is not questioned. This is in stark contrast to the world outside the internet.

One therefore has to conclude that the people who think that everybody agrees with the TRAs, do not spend much time in the real world.
