I dont understand why they cant just leave us alone. Who even are you people? What are you to me, to my trans neighbors? Nobody. Nothing. Our lives have never affected them past the stories they fabricate to persecute us for existing. Vile human beings who will look to their respective gods for forgiveness when they pass

Nothing corrupts a soul more than an irrational hatred or prejudice. It takes over these people's lives. Cruelty becomes their food and drink and it is a thin and bitter meal. Look no further than Rowling to witness the darkness they create around themselves. They are to be pitied, even as we recognize that the harm they do must be stopped and countered.

The best answer I have seen to this perplexing question was given by the German comedian Jan Böhmermann on his ZDF Magazin Royale show three years ago:

Why does [an anti-trans journalist] stand with TERFs, AfD-fascists and Nazis with respect to trans people? Because trans people through their very existence fracture their tiny world. .. Only when trans people are false can the von Storchs and Schwarzers be right.” https://jaynasheats.substack.com/p/of-transgender-mice-and-transmogrified

Every single one of them is a victim of debilitating neurosis, the main symptom of which is transformation of its cause into aggression against whatever target is least threatening. Having a neurosis is nothing to be ashamed of as long as one seeks treatment. When that doesn't happen, the result is inexcusable evil behavior.

I speculate that they were hacked and shut down to contain damage and doxxing.

I continue to stress that the more we try to be stealth, the more we enable them to spin lies about us. Let’s all get out and live our lives, as loving parents, children, siblings, employers, coworkers and leaders! Living your authentic truth is the best resistance.

JK Rowling, sitting drinking whiskey, wearing a heavy ring, and smoking a cigar.... secretly wishing she had the courage to transition. Voldemort must be her name of her fear of her true self. Evil and darkness take over the magical world where children are happy and meanness sets in. She's less imaginative than she was given credit for.

Random thoughts circling in my stroke brain:

It seems to me that when people can’t grasp the concept of feeling and being different results in them being rooted in hate and fear.

Straight, cisgender people don’t question their identity or sexuality. Things are just how they are without question. Those who cannot being to grasp how someone can be gay or trans or whatever live sheltered lives. Being different is harder than being the status quo. Those who step out of line to wonder anything are persecuted from the get go.

Idk how being different automatically flips into: you must like to touch children inappropriately and you’re a pedophile. The two arguments are not equal and dont align. Different doesn’t mean criminal.

Why are we propagating the smug picture of JK any more than it already is? I already didn't want to see it when I saw it and now its here again in a newsletter I read. Please stop sharing villains to our community.

Personally, I think these photos are fine. I just take issue with that fact that he wasn't properly addressed as Robert Galbraith. And since no 'real woman' I know enjoys smoking cigars, swilling whiskey, or quoting a catchphrase from a man in a show about a much of vigilante military men, I wonder if maybe he should be careful going into the women's room now? Just asking...?
