In Britain the tranny lobby is far more powerful than here. Realizing the enormity of Rowling's comment, they gave her the opportunity to recant them. She declined. So, yes, she's in the process of being "cancelled".

There is no such condition as Transgender. The word Transgender is a political construct

Any one claiming to be transgender is in fact a sexual deviant and mentally defective

Rowling helped create the worldview that's turned on her. Will that enter her mind? Nah.

Transgenders are a sorry lot. How sad to dislike oneself SO much that one "feels" like the opposite sex.

DNA, however, trumps everything. Transgenders will AGE like their born-into gender.
Men-to-women will bald like the male they were born.
Women-to-men will have menopause like the female they were born.

They need a SERIOUS encounter with our good Lord.

At least she is pro-trans species with having characters that can turn from human into animals. (semi-sarcastic)

1. SO TRUE!

2. Also true. Those deviants have been sold a bill of goods by the Loony Left.

That is a wild thought, her books being burned by secular anti-Christians because she believe that there are only 2 sexes that are unchangeable.

In the past some were burned at the stake for what they believed. Today, they fire you and prevent you from earning your living. Which is worse?

Is it fair to condemn the church for what it did in the past and not to condemn liberal fascists for destroying people today?

That is interesting. She has so much money she can do what she likes.

I don’t think she did help create the worldview. She’s just a “post-Christian” humanist - whose books always relied on the basic Judeo-Christian division between good and evil, even though she denied its source - who was too naive to realize that cutting loose from the moorings meant that anything could grab your little boat and smash it.

Like most of the British intellectual class, she’s ravingly anti-American and particularly anti-Trump, but the left has gone full-bore anti-reality ideologically bonkers, so even her past wasn’t enough to save her. I hope some of her fellows at least pause to give thought to the implications of this.

It amazes me that the tranny lobby is winning every battle that it fights despite the fact that it represents probably less than one percent of the population. Just as the sodomite lobby has been able to impose its will on the 96 percent of the population which is not sodomite.

Yes. When Less than 1% of the population seems to be calling the shots, something weird is going on.

The transgender lobby does not consist of transgenders, it consists of people who want to advance this nonsense for ulterior motives, always political. Most of the people in it are far less interested in the interests of transgenders than they are in the ability to force the general public to accept their dictates, the more outrageous the better. If they can pass laws and ruin people's lives for that, they can for anything, and they intend to.

I sometimes wonder had Jeffrey Dahmer or Richard Speck lived long enough to self-identify, what form might they have chosen and who might be threatened with punishment for not accepting them for what they were?

We’ve allowed the socially maladjusted to bully the rest of by threat of fines or imprisonment into living by their rules. This is insanity.

To all the alphabet people:

1) If I need more than three seconds to determine what gender you are, consider me triggered. Prepare to seek a safe space if I have to think about you longer than that.

2) I am not going to learn your pronouns. They are between you and you Creator. Deal with it.

3) None of this means I am “phobic” or a “hater”. It means I’m a thinking, rational human being aware that 99.9% of the people on this earth have genetic markers that define which gender they are and what hormones are naturally allocated to prolong that condition. So sorry you don’t agree but it’s, as liberals say, “settled science”.

4) No amount of public or legal bullying is going to move me off those positions. So sorry. I will come fully equipped with the Holy Bible and Gray’s Anatomy to support my side of the argument. Who you got?

Get humans out of this, and imagine studies of female and male animals. Suddenly one believes in biological sex differences.
