caze Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 JK Rowling might be a TERF, but it's hard to know from what she's tweeted on the issue, she's been careful to not say too much, her statements have been pretty benign and fact based. In order to be a TERF you need to be two things, E and RF. Does she think trans-women should be excluded from women-only spaces? She's not said afaik. Is she a radical feminist? I don't know. It's possible to realise that sex is binary and not want to exclude trans people from bathrooms, etc. For the record, I am neither in favour of excluding trans people from anything, nor am I a radical feminist.

People are getting fired for sticking to the biological facts. This is what JK Rowling originally spoke up about. She‘s absolutely right, FWIW. Gender identity doesn’t change your biological sex, so... case closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mause Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 using youtube for music has one major, unmissable downside..the faux visualiser on the tab (in opera anyways) doesnt actually react to the sound. this is, in my opinion, unacceptable and causes me massive levels of distress everytime i see it.

brian trageskin Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 last night i had a dream where i told a friend this joke i came up with: what's the difference between blacks and whites? Spoiler about 50 shades of grey it's a terrible joke and it probably exists already but i guarantee my brain made it up spontaneously, i'd never heard it before you're welcome 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
