Publishing Staff Threaten To Quit Unless JK Rowling's New Book Is Canceled
The Sentry Bugle ^ | 6/18/2020 | The Bold Conservative

Staff at Publishing house Hachette have threatened to quit unless the company cancels its association with JK Rowling and scraps plans to publish her new book because they argue the author is ‘transphobic’.

The Daily Mail reported that “Staff in the children’s department at Hachette announced they were no longer prepared to work on the book” over Rowling’s recent assertions that biological sex is real and that there are only two genders.

Rowling is illustrating that even a busted clock is right once or twice a day.

They’re stacking the dominoes pretty high.

Just a matter of time before it all collapses.

OK Bye.... or, we’ll change our position if you can show empirical scientific proof you’re right, there are 64,000+ genders.

Romans 1:18-32 ... while not everyone who supports or is homosexual will have been turned over to a reprobate mind EVERY depraved person will rabidly support homosexuality and you can just about divide those those who are depraved from those who aren’t by this one issue.

Liberals can eat their own can’t say?

I’ve heard that JK Rowling is actually quite liberal and Progressive on many issues.

But to say something that doesn’t adhere to the current thinking on all this transsexual business, is apparently a crime against humanity.

These radicals don’t care that she’s actually on their side on many many issues. You have to be on the side of the radicals on EVERY issue, otherwise you will be condemned and shunned.

So on one side an author who has sold millions and millions of books, and on the other staffers who no one knows. Well good for the staffers for standing up for their principles, but too bad their principles are nonsense - as if God did not make us male and female.

One cannot be “quite liberal and Progressive on many issues.”

One MUST BE “quite liberal and Progressive on ALL issues.”.............

Ho hum...

Another threat from Nazi-aping bullies...

IMHO, Hachette should let them quit. Those brown-shirt wannabees are too ignorant to be associated with “publishing”.

Publishing is what’s called a “vanity” profession as the pay is low for the most part but there is a certain cache to saying you’re in publishing so most people who work at publishers are a dime a dozen. Also, if Rowling wants, she can self publish and will make exponentially more to Hatchett will end up losing millions of dollars in a business that relies on a couple of successes in order to keep the doors open.

She’s likely a billionaire or very close to it. She can easily go around them. Laughable incompetence of the protesters. Hell, she could set up shop and print them herself.

I imagine that there’s going to be some axes falling over at Hatchette.

I’m sure they can find more than enough people to perform this work - heck, some of them might not even have to leave India to perform their job.
