  • J.K. Rowling is standing up for the most important values of our generation - the right to speak the truth and the right to defend women. She is actively facing down the mob looking to silence her.
    In this video, I analyze why we need to learn from J.K. Rowling's example!

    You also need to consider that JK herself had to live in a women's shelter after fleeing from an abusive marriage with her daughter. She's coming at this from the perspective of a woman who once needed a woman-only space and for some reason these women aren't allowed to exist anymore even though we're supposed to "believe all women."

    • @moreau1755
      @moreau1755 Před 7 měsíci

      Exactly. Per the rules the trans-activists are trying to push, her abusive spouse could simply rock up to the shelter, claim he's now a woman with absolutely no evidence nor even effort to present as such, and just walk in.

      How are they not allowed to exist? Did someone stir Joanne Rowling into a witches brew until she disintegrated? Did the Woke Left(tm) use their wizardy magic to make her disappear? Trans people just don't want to be violently raped, mutilated, tortured, and murderer for simply being trans and NOT having a safe shelter to protect themselves within. Trans women and men are just as deserving of those shelters as cis women are. We are all victims of male violence.

    • @elainea7734
      @elainea7734 Před 4 měsíci +7

      To be fair to (some of) the actors, you shouldn't be pressured / borderline forced into stating your opinion on a political subject. No one should be looking to Rupert Grint for an answer about an authors opinions on Trans rights. He's an actor, not a politician, and while he's free to speak his mind if he wants to, he shouldn't be forced to comment on the opinions of anyone with a loose connection to him. That's like asking you to go on local television and make a statement about the racist rant your uncle had at the dinner table last Thanksgiving. It doesn't have anything to do with you, and you shouldn't have to prepare an essay of your thoughts on the matter to appease the masses. Some of these actors jump on every opportunity to languish in the gratitude of the "woke" or whatever the fuck we're calling them these days, but it did seem to me at the time that many of them tried to keep to themselves until the same people that canceled Rowling tried to do the same to them, simply for not stating their condemnation of her. It's disappointing that none of them stood their ground, but it's also disappointing that we demand social rhetoric from entertainers who may have their own reasons to remain uncontrovercial. Not everyone can handle the kind of hatred Rowling has encurred, and not everyone is as financially stable as she is. While some of these actors are very well off, thats not actually the case for all of them, and you can be sure that among them are people with anxitey or depression. A refusal to condemn Rowling could actually end their careers and ruin their lives. All that to say, while I am disappointed that none of the actors supported her, it's indicative of an entirely different problem the woke have created, where we force people to conform under the threat of genuinely harmful retaliation.

      It doesn't make any sense to call it anti-trans to deny that sex is a real thing - the _whole point_ of being trans is wanting to have the body of the biological sex one wasn't born with, due to chromosomes that determine biological or more importantly here, phenotypical (physical) sex.
      There's a number of studies showing neurological structuring in trans people that's more similar to the opposite biological sex, which points to the concept that their brain truly doesn't match the rest of their body, which would of course be a nightmarish and disconcerting feeling and go a long way to explaining what's occurring within trans people. That's because, yes, there's slight structural differences in male and female brains, and trans people have more similarities in their brains to that of the gender they feel they are, despite the rest of their body.

      That's hilarious, what is she standing up for again? The right to spread abhorrent lies about trans people in the form of an essay that which has been utilized in legitimizing harmful and lethal legislation against UK trans citizens that ultimately get's them killed faster? OH! But it's okay because nobody gives a fuck what real trans people actually have to go through or actually feel about a specific topic or actually understand about themselves or the world or cisgender people... No. Everyone in this rancid comment section just thinks it makes complete fucking sense to listen to other cis people (JK Rowling, the person who made this video, etc.) discuss nonexistent issues that they have with trans people based on random shit that they heard other cis people lie about... OH! But it's okay because she's being so kind and polite and respectful, it doesn't matter that her actions have caused immense damage to the health care system in the UK, leaving millions of trans people to suffer. It's okay because she's just so nice and British and lovely.
      If you actually care about the truth, and genuinely want to understand WHY trans people are upset with her. Then watch "The Witch Trials of JK Rowling" By Contrapoints. Until you've watched that, you will continue to live in propaganda-based discontent towards a problem that doesn't actually exist. Good luck!

He asked her if she would be comfortable being in same toilets with him, and she was so exuberant in her ‘yes’ reply it was sickening. Lees has a conviction of armed robbery where he nearly killed an old man - and Emma doesn’t go anywhere without body guards, literally! So she will never have to share a toilet with this violent man.

They want to cry about the 'gender pay gap' and the 'patriarchy' but can't explain why so many trans people are males identifying as female. Why? If being female is so horrible in this world, why would they want to willingly and loudly live in it? If they want to say anyone is a woman who identifies as a woman, then there are no more "women's issues" are there? Abortion? It's not a 'women's health' issue now is it? Because if someone biologically male identifies as a "woman", they'll NEVER have to worry about abortion. Same for all other 'women's' issues (except maybe rape, but the sad part there is that they'll finally have to admit rape isn't just a women's issue, won't they?). But the loonies want to be able to scream in every manner there is - have the 'patriarchy' and 'oppression of women' while denying there is even 'women'.

The funny thing was when I read that I started to laugh because I was thinking to myself these books were written for children first off. But anything that gets children reading is wonderful including comic books. And for somebody like that that men arguing those things about how that he felt that it was that that death of writing itself and I go no it isn't. When people are being snobbish about something then they're going to attack something especially when something is more popular than anything that they could come up with. Just like how people do with George Lucas and the Star Wars franchise that he created. This really fascinating thing was when Christopher Lee brought his children to the set when he was doing the Revenge of the Sith movie which to me is one of the greatest movies I've ever seen in my life. But seeing him Christopher Lee pointed to George Lucas and he said this man here has done something that nobody else in the movie business has ever done as far as being a director that he is is that he told the studios you're not going to mess around with my creation I'm making the movies the way I want them being made and if need be I'll make them I'll pay for them myself which is basically what he did with Empire Strikes Back but he said this man took on the studios and he did something that no other Creator ever could to say no you're not going to mess with my product you're not going to mess with my characters. At one point 20th Century Fox wanted to have Chewbacca and a set of pants cuz they said the idea of him running around naked is insane. And Lucas said do monkeys who are in a zoo are they are they naked well they're not dressed but they don't need to be they're monkeys.

      I never mind about her feminist views because she has never been too extreme as far as I know. It's just her virtue signal back then that I didn't like. Remember the Harry Potter and the Cursed Child stage play in 2016? Hermione was played by a Black British actress. J.K defended it said that Hermione can be of any skin colour because there's no description of her skin colour in the books.
      Turns out, there is. There's a sentence that explicitely described Hermione's white skin. People quickly pointed it out. There's also the official illustrations of Hermione in the books: White skin with long curly brown hair. If Hermione was indeed Black or any other race, why would J.K & her publisher approved the illustration portraying Hermione as a White girl?
      Woke slacktivists rallied behind her that time. Calling out, shaming, & threatening everyone who pointed out Hermione is White & the fact that race-bending her character is ridiculous & overused.

      Well she was. She described Hermione as a white girl in the book and then said she could be a black girl. And she said Dumbledore was gay even though his sexuality was nowhere in the books. That's intersectional feminism. She started off woke. Then when she said her comment about men not being able to be women conservatives supported her. Personally I think that is better. I don't think supporting living in a delusion is good. Men can't be women. No matter how much they try they will always be men.

      All of the memes I've been seeing on social media showing her and equating her as being worse than Voldemort, I thought it was funny that people like that would would say something like that but then again you know like these are people who they don't like the idea of being told that something that they've said is wrong. They don't like that a doctor telling them that if they don't have ovaries they can't have children and when somebody asks there was one where a person was asking a question in the in the one who is being asked they kept saying I can't answer your question cuz I know that anyway I answer it it's going to be wrong and the reason she couldn't couldn't answer it was because she knew she was wrong that was the reality and he wasn't trying to get her for everybody else to moan it her like oh my god did you just ask that question kind of thing no he was doing it to try to help her to understand that she's not using critical thinking which they're not they don't use critical thinking on anything but Christianity and Judaism they sure don't do it against Islam obviously nor do they even understand it really if they did they'd have absolutely nothing to do with it. Especially with them having child Brides and even children dying because of men who claim they're going to wait until they started to ovulate before having sex with him and what they don't tell people is that there are times that a child can begin to ovulate but it's way earlier than normal I know I had a cousin who she began to ovulate when she was 9 years old that didn't mean she became a woman. It meant there was a health problem going on and it was when she I was saying in her mid to late thirties or early forties she went to the doctor's office and they're going to be doing a routine thing she wasn't even going to be having any anesthetic it was just she was just going to be getting a a local and then they were going to do something for her and after her mom dropped her off she was maybe half a mile away from the hospital when they called her to say you have to get over here right away and when she got over there they told her that not 20 minutes after her mom left she started to cough and then she wound up she just stopped breathing and by the time she was dead the doctors had not yet come back in the room to figure out what was going on but it was tied into her her sickness and I'm not really sure what that one was but I just know that she was a wonderful cousin her mom and dad I put high on the list of being Saints as far as anyone that I've ever known in my lifetime they are the greatest.

And I think there was a tagline in there also about the fact that if there wasn't a writer behind an actor the whole idea of stage or the whole idea of them doing a performance would completely and utterly have died. Because like you just said about all these other factors none of them could do the same kind of things as Shakespeare it took Shakespeare to write to do Shakespeare even if it was propaganda for the Tudor kingdom.

One time I asked her what she said exactly that made her a transphobe, and all she could tell me was that "she doesn't think trans people are real or support their rights," even referring to her as a N*Zi at one point. I showed her the tweets she was referring to, and how misrepresented they were being treated, and she still couldn't accept that JK is just standing up for biological women's rights. She told me I wasn't allowed to watch or mention the movies around her and that I couldn't play Hogwarts Legacy because I was "literally supporting the erasure of [her] kind".
    It was beyond parody, like I couldn't believe people like this actually exist in the real world.

    The problem with this movement is that they are pushing to far. As majority of people aren't anti trans, but they are against what the movement is demanding.
    However they could not be more wrong about this. As an majority of people don't wanna see trans athletes face off against biological woman. In my country there was this school where an few girls at an elementary school does not go to gym anymore because they gotta share an dressing room with an transgender who has not transition.
    Or how we are fine with letting kids who aren't old enough to drive or drink can be allowed to transition. Especially since when most kids don't have an clue what they want. As I changed my mind on things 10 times on the same day as an child

      I think what really tipped me over the edge was the whole athletics thing. If someone who is male comes into a space that is strictly female, where women have trained and worked themselves to the bone to compete against other people just like them, and then dominate the entire competition with a male body that has been trained to a male athletic standard, then I cannot in any way even pretend they are women. A real woman will know or at least acknowledge the inherent unfairness of pitting a male and female body against each other in the same sport. Its ridiculous. Its cruel. Its a mockery. Watching all these men so smugly towering literal head and shoulders above women athletes, crushing women who have literally sweated and bled years of their lives away for a chance to compete against their EQUALS is a horrific and brutal example of male domination at its worst. I never once felt rage when seeing or even thinking of trans women, but after seeing that its all I feel. How could they? How could they claim to be women, and yet have no compassion for us? No respect? No willingness to concede they have an unfair biological advantage? Its so, so cruel and entitled and frankly grossly misogynistic. Its betrayal of all the compassion and acceptance that women have extended to them

    Funny how the actors in those movies who *did* speak up for Rowling, were mostly the bad guys in the movies. Almost like playing a bad guy in a movie takes more depth (as an actor) than playing the good guy. Because when push came to shove, the "good guys" just parroted the easy lies and chickened out of making a principled stand. While the "bad guys" understood the moment better, and didn't throw Rowling under the bus.

    • @ingetamm7951
      @ingetamm7951 Před 7 měsíci +15

      It might also have something to do with age since all the “good guys” in question are from the younger generation, while the “bad guys” are considerably older and might not share these relatively new ideas that anyone can be anything lol. And they might also simply have more class than jumping at Rowling’s tweets as if they have nothing better to do because their careers are already well established and they don’t need cheap celebration from the lgbtq community. Harry Potter movies ended more than 10 years ago, and yet Radcliffe, Watson, Grint and Wright just never got over it 😬

      the main problem si not that they disagree. Just because they got a carrer thanks to rowling doesn't mean they always have to agree with her. But it's not a debate. They make statements and make Rowling a pariah based on that, just because she has her own opinion about this subject. Emma Watson - if she understood the concept of free speech - or the concept of the books her character was based on - should know debates start with "I respectfully disagree". but no. she throws around big words and makes Rowling look like some kind of a villain, as if what Rowling said was in any way a harm to anyone. But it's just an opinion. Emma Watson, the self-proclaimed feminist, simply doesn't get why women feel bad about the trans "debate".

    Damn, I never made an obvious analogy between Harry, truth and Umbridge and Rowling and speaking up. This is interesting, bc as a writer she definitely put some of her character in all of her characters in the books, and now she proves she wrote genuinely. Maybe thats why her books had such an impact and are not forgotten. She made a fortune, but ultimately her story was genuine, not made up, not just a money grab at all. Really really interesting how character of Harry resonates with her now. She mentioned she associated herself more with Hermione, but again - a part of her in everybody.
