JK Rowling falls silent as she could be prosecuted in Imane Khelif lawsuit

Oh no, consequences.

Someone finally got Rowling to shut up! Imane Khelif is my hero!

Anyone with basic critical thinking skills would have known this whole scandal was bullshit in the first place. Did it not occur to any of these TERFs and transphobes that Algeria (a Muslim nation known for persecuting the LGBTQ community as a whole) is one of the least-likely nations to field a trans candidate?

It’s about fucking time someone shut her up

she thought she was Hermione. turns out she was just Malfoy.

She's a bully. It's time she actually faced consequences for her actions.

Heaven forbid she lose money. Literally the only thing that could make her stop briefly pause harassing people on the internet.

And here I thought that she would happily go to jail over her bigotry: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/jk-rowling-willing-jail-misgendering_n_65314d65e4b00565b6234d11

when a man breaks a record he is a super human, when a woman breaks a record she is a man.

I'm a Conservative championing Genital Inspections on Children to make sure ONLY PEOPLE with Vaginas play Girl's Sports but also THIS Women with a Vagina is ACTUALLY A MAN!

"Could any picture sum up our new men's rights movement better?" the writer asked. "The smirk of a male who's knows he's protected by a misogynist sporting establishment enjoying the distress of a woman he's just punched in the head, and whose life's ambition he's just shattered."

This fucking smug cunt.

Transgender people in competitive sports that are already segregated by biological sex is relatively uncharted, and should be carefully navigated. There are ways, and appropriate settings, to bring this topic up respectfully. Twitter is not the place, and these people are not qualified to offer their opinion. JK (and others) aren’t fighting some good cause, they’re just being assholes.

The irony of Rowling getting sued for calling a biological woman trans

It's so weird of Rowling to call her a man, considering they have a similar face structure.

"Just Kidding" Rowling

And let this be a lesson to all internet people, I know y’all hear about the first amendment a lot, but it only applies in America. You have to actually follow the laws of the country you’re in

Is Rowling even subject to French legal proceedings?

Rowling should be in jail for hate crimes. That person need rehabilitation before we can let her back into society.

The Wall Street Journal still has an article online that says:

The Algerian boxer is biologically male but allowed to compete in the female category

Fuck Jeff Bezos

EDIT: Oh dang this isn't WaPo. Fuck him anyway though.

Good, sue her ass off Imane. Take her for every penny. Rowling is an asshole.

It's amazing how fast lawsuits can shut up anybody who still has at least two brain cells left. Doesn't work on Trump or Elon for some reason. I'm sure it's a coincidence.

I hope she pays dearly for her racism and bigotry.

Get her!

Last year boxer was blocked from competing...

What in the Kentucky fried fuck is the editor doing.

she's in stage 2 of fucking around lmaoo

Bahahaha not so careless about throwing your hatred around on your sleeve now, are you bitch?

Rowling has been silent on X since August 7, when she shared a post from researcher Maya Forstater, who was fired from her job after making anti-trans statements.

(my emphases)

I don't know where Newsweek takes its facts from but this is another lie pushed by the TERF propaganda machine. Forstater was a tax expert whose contract was not renewed after she was horrible to her trans and non-binary colleagues. (Yes the 'researcher' wording is put there on purpose, to amplify the perception that her freedom of speech was violated, or as Rowling likes to put it 'her livelihood was threatened for disagreeing with the trans lobby'.)

She then went to a labor tribunal court or sth, to claim that her belief in the "immutability and reality of sex" is a protected belief, and made a fuss about being fired for her beliefs, when in reality she was merely discontinued for being a dick to the people she worked with. Her Twitter feed was full of conflating trans people with rapists and pedophiles.

The first judge took into account her definition that requires working plumbing to name someone a woman, and consulted a biological expert, impartial to gender identity, that precluded any scientific basis to Forstater's childish views on biological sex. The judge deemed her belief is "unworthy of respect in a democratic society", but later, an appeal court said she has a right to believe that but she still cannot misgender people.

Critical legal theorists suggested that the appeal court held a very low bar as for what opinions "worthy of respect" should be, and that its ruling should be better interpreted as "marginally better than an outright nazi".

It is a red flag for both the author and the outlet that they lead with a snippet of propaganda which is as false as unsubstantiated claims that Khelif's trans or DSD. So should we conclude both toxic narratives are pushed by the same epicenters?

How much money did she make with HP, billions not millions, right? How can she be so dumb spending her life like a bored internet Karen instead of enjoying it to the fullest with no worry whatsoever?

Fucking destroy her.

Its always X (formerly twitter) and i bet elon hates that.

Get fucked you stupid cunt.

FAFO

good god, she's still digging

I've started referring to JK as "Jacob Rowling".

I know that they're completely unaware of it, but I get some smug satisfaction out of misgendering them.

I hope Mr Rowling gets some prison time.

They should just let them sort it out in the ring.

That woman knows how to play the games. Serious winner.

(Edit: I meant Imane, in case that was not clear. And not sarcastic.)

No need for lawsuits. Put her in the ring. Let her defend her convictions with her face and fists.

I wish Imane would sue me as well

Please exemplify Stupid!

Use of the internet to in any way facilitate the outsourcing of on-site labour overseas is capitalism's ultimate spatial fix, pass it on.

Horrible people who deserve each other on all sides here.

I think of JK Rowling the same way as Orson Scott Card. They have opinions that differ from mine, but I still like their work. Am I missing something? I get that Rowling's opinions suck, but I don't really understand the extent people go in the disdain for her. She's allowed to have opinions on things we don't agree with. She's not out there stabbing babies.

I managed to never see a photo of rowling until now, and she totally looks like my friend's dad in poorly done drag and probably also on hard drugs.

Hah. No. She has real lawyer money.

Because this a politicized topic no one uses common sense, they come in with preconceived notions and aim to find supporting facts for their predetermined opinions.

This issue is actually quite nuanced. The fighter has an intersex disorder which makes their sex ambiguous to anyone that doesn't have access to their medical record, and she has been disqualified from competing in past events due to failing female tests, Olympics is one of the few places to allow her to compete.

I think calling an intersex person who claims to be a woman a man is wrong, even if they have psychical traits of a male (XY chromosome & higher testosterone).

However -- in terms of competing, we segregate combat sports by sex for a reason, so if you have the physical advantages of a male you should not compete. It's not a matter of just competitive integrity, but safety. Fighting is always dangerous, but men or anyone with the physiology of a male fighting women is extremely dangerous. In grappling maybe not, but in a combat sport with striking yes. We have to table our feelings and see that when determining if someone should compete.

But I think the rhetoric around the issue is gross. I don't think theirs malice persay, rather the individual is intersex, has masculine traits and is really strong so people falsely presumed they were trans. It's a reasonable assumption to make as being intersex is incredibly rare but nonetheless they should've verified this information before making public statements, as I try to do.

Media Bias Fact Check | bot support

Wheres the evidence she 'never failed a gender test' that was the fact that made everyone upset. Jk did nothing hundreds of thousands of other ppl who read the articles about this also said. You gender warriors are nuts, your hate for this woman is hilarious.

I don't get it. They took a test that revealed they have XY chromosomes in 2023.
