“Harry Potter” author J.K. Rowling has emerged into a fresh controversy after she returned the Ripple of Hope Award bestowed upon her by the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights organization in December 2019, following criticism from Kerry Kennedy. Kerry is the daughter of Robert F. Kennedy, and the president of the organization.
“Over the course of June 2020 — LGBTQ Pride Month — and much to my dismay, J.K. Rowling posted deeply troubling transphobic tweets and statements,” Kennedy posted on the organization’s website on Aug. 3. “On June 6, she tweeted an article headlined “Opinion: Creating a more equal post-COVID-19 world for people who menstruate.” She wrote glibly and dismissively about transgender identity: ‘People who menstruate.’ I’m sure there used to be a word for those people. Someone help me out. Wumben? Wimpund? Woomud?”
Kennedy said she had spoken with Rowling “to express my profound disappointment that she has chosen to use her remarkable gifts to create a narrative that diminishes the identity of trans and nonbinary people, undermining the validity and integrity of the entire transgender community — one that disproportionately suffers from violence, discrimination, harassment, and exclusion and, as a result, experiences high rates of suicide, suicide attempts, homelessness, and mental and bodily harm. Black trans women and trans youth in particular are targeted.”

The Kennedys make me think of one of those royal dynasties where generations of inbreeding creates Kings whose only talent is playing with their own poo.

Amen!
The most honest genteel and Gentleman in Congress.
Don’t forget the JFK,jr Aviation Safety Award !
Exactly.
Kennedy was a respected Scotch-Irish surname going back to the 1700s in the U.S., until that bunch of ne’er-do-wells in Massachusetts came over from Ireland and brought shame to our name.
“Black trans women and youth.”
Now there is a constituency you could fit into a Chevy Tahoe.
By he you mean she?
“ By he you mean she?”
No, I mean Kennedy. He seems to be the one whining about how Rowling has been insensitive to trannies.
"I remember my “Ripple days”....well, at least some of them."
I know you are not alone.
Kerry Kennedy is a she.
“ Kerry Kennedy is a she
D’oh! I guess I did mean she after all. My bad.
As long as she self-identifies as a “she”.
I just figured you’d want to know before you told some else about it.
Ripple, Thunderbird, Boone.s Farm, Spanada, ah the good old days of youth.
Can’t ski, can’t drive, can’t fly, can’t canoe, is there anything a Kennedy can’t do?
