J.K. Rowling calls out HBO host John Oliver's 'bullsh*t' on trans athletes in women's sports
Breitbart.com ^ | 11/18/2024 | Paul Bois

Author J.K. Rowling publicly called out HBO host John Oliver for arguing that transgenders participating in women’s sports pose no threat to women and that the Democratic Party should continue advocating in its favor.

In the wake of President-elect Donald Trump’s stunning victory over Vice President Kamala Harris, in which he secured the popular vote on top of an Electoral College landslide, Democrats have been hosting tough conversations about the future of the party in its relations to transgender issues, specifically transgenders operating in women’s spaces, including bathrooms, locker rooms, and athletics. While Democrats like Bill Maher, Ben Dreyfuss, and others have called for Democrats to move away from transgender advocacy, others like John Oliver have argued they should move even further left.

“The Harris campaign failed to formulate a response, especially when it’s pretty easy to do,” Oliver said in a recent segment on his show. “There are vanishingly few trans girls competing in high schools anywhere, even if there were more, trans kids like all kids vary in terms of athletic ability, and there is no evidence they pose any threat to safety or fairness.”

Author J.K. Rowling (the Harry Potter series) publicly called the comedian’s arguments “bullshit” and cited a plethora of anecdotes to support her case. She also made clear that her criticism of John Oliver stemmed from nothing personal...

There is no such thing as “trans”. If anyone makes the claim that they are, then they need treatment, not confirmation. One would think this would be obvious, but somehow…..

How many defensive linemen in the NFL are female or trans to male? ZERO! Nada, not one and there is a good reason. That offensive lineman would break them badly.

The democrats totally missed banking on the trans athlete issue most women under 40 were highly involved in competitive sports in their life and not dealing with men was a huge plus. I think based on the women and men I spoke to it ranked higher than abortion.Democrats think they know what people care about but they only talk among themselves.

"There are vanishingly few trans girls competing in high schools anywhere"

Oh, good! So it won't matter very much if we insure the number is zero.

[transgender issues]

No such thing as "a transgender" exists on the face of this Earth. There are only freaks who have been harmed by inappropriate and unnecessary surgery.

Anything else is a delusional fantasy.

-------

(transgender)

WE WILL NOT be part of their delusions. Almighty God is preparing to send Strong Delusion upon this planet in association with the rise of Satan's Antichrist. No thank you.

-------

As I've said for a long time now: No such thing exists on the face of this Earth. ANYWHERE.

Surgery creates freaks that are not biologically-correct by XX / XY chromosomes.

Genesis 19:13-14 King James Version

13 For we will destroy this place, because the cry of them is waxen great before the face of the Lord; and the Lord hath sent us to destroy it.

14 And Lot went out, and spake unto his sons in law, which married his daughters, and said, Up, get you out of this place; for the Lord will destroy this city. But he seemed as one that mocked unto his sons in law.

JK is right. There many examples of males taking medals from women. One is actually too many. The left has it’s head in the sand or somewhere.

Good, John Oliver, double down on that Godless agenda. Brilliant! What could possibly go wrong?

The men pretending to be female athletes are all inadequate males totally unable to compete. “Trans” athletes are by definition inadequate losers

How quick before John Oliver’s third-rate show gets the boot? I’ve never understood how it remains on the air.

They should give it a try.

Prove that “equality in everything” and stuff.

(we all know that won’t happen)

I am guessing he has never spoken to the female college volleyball player whose entire future was destroyed by a MAN spiking the ball into her head.
