Everyone in the goose-stepping line is watching to see a single jackboot that isn't in complete syncronicity...

JK Rowling has come out in support of a researcher who was sacked after tweeting that transgender people cannot change their biological sex. Maya Forstater lost her job in March after she posted tweets opposing government proposals to reform the Gender Recognition Act to allow people to identify as the opposite sex. Forstater, who worked as a tax expert at the Centre for Global Development, an international think tank that campaigns against poverty and inequality, took her case to an employment tribunal on the grounds that her dismissal constituted discrimination against her beliefs. Employment judge James Tayler dismissed her claim on Wednesday, saying her views are "absolutist in her view of sex".

Call yourself whatever you like. Sleep with any consenting adult who'll have you. "Live your best life in peace and security. But force women out of their jobs for stating that sex is real?"
The author, who also donated £1 million to the No campaign, added the hashtags #IStandWithMaya and #ThisIsNotADrill. Following her tweet, Rowling's name trended on Twitter as she prompted a divided reaction from fans. Many people claimed Rowling is a "transphobe", and the phrase "JK Rowling is a Terf" – referring to the term trans-exclusionary radical feminist - also trended on the platform. A Terf is often used to describe feminists who express ideas that other feminists consider to be transphobic, including the belief that trans women are not women. However, others welcomed the author's comment, with many joining her in using the hashtag #IStandWithMaya. Forstater was accused of publishing "offensive" tweets questioning government proposals to allow people to self-identify their own gender. Judge Tayler ruled against Forstater in a 26-page judgment, in which he said her views did "not have the protected characteristic of philosophical belief".
He concluded Forstater was not entitled to ignore the legal rights of a transgender person and the "enormous pain that can be caused by misgendering a person". The dispute was seen as a test case on whether a "gender critical" view - a belief that there are only two biological sexes – is a protected "philosophical belief" under the 2010 Equality Act. Forstater had argued "framing the question of transgender inclusion as an argument that male people should be allowed into women's spaces discounts women's rights to privacy and is fundamentally illiberal (it is like forcing Jewish people to eat pork)". Representatives for Rowling have been contacted for comment.
SJWs only feel fulfilled when they are tearing someone else down. And nobody can withstand the purity tests in their modern inquisition, even their own acolytes. I love to see one of them get consumed by the monster they helped to create.
The question is, when all those witches drank pollyjuice potion to look like Harry Potter, did she refer to them as “he” or “she”?

After Joseph Stalin gave a speech, the clapping would start. And that clapping would go on and on. That’s because everyone in the audience was afraid to be the first one to stop clapping.
That’s the kind of behavior today’s fascist left demands of us. Clap for every last one of their beliefs. And don’t you dare stop clapping.
“Placate The Deluded Act”
Fixed it.
#MeToo
God did the gendering.
