So there.
Of course the nonsense follows swiftly.
MY hormones, mine mine mine, me me me. It’s personal.
Once more, with feeling: it’s not about existing. It’s about truth-claims. Truth-claims about the self are not the same thing as existence. If you say you’re forty feet tall and I say you’re not, you don’t abruptly pop out of existence. That’s not how it works.
What SurvivalSavvy said:
Oh John. Please say this isn’t so. Are you really abandoning inclusion and diversity for narrow minded anti-trans bigotry? So very disappointed.
Compelling stuff, for sure.
How is it any of a woman’s business that men want to take the word “women” away from women? The question answers itself.
Again with mixing that racism in with “transphobia”… it seems it’s the latest gambit, appropriating the unrest over George Floyd’s murder to advance their religion.
Just today I saw a picture of a pride flag that had a series of arrows added on the left side that was white->pink->blue->brown-black. Amongst the other sins committed was it being bloody hideous, but what the hell does race have to do with LGB or even T? Fuck all…
They already appropriated LGB successfully, even though they don’t really have a lot in common. Why not try to appropriate racism? And they’re doing everything they can to appropriate feminism; way too many “feminists” are letting them. It’s really disgusting, I think. They don’t want to do the hard work of proving their case, or get jailed for picketing or asking nicely, like both women and LGB have done, or risk being killed like Civil Rights workers risked. They just want to shove their T into every movement, and center themselves, taking advantage of work already done by those who they displace.
So John Cleese gets to keep TERFing away with impunity. Why is nobody inviting him to choke on their lady-dick, I wonder.
(I don’t really wonder.)
They are remonstrating with him, but…oddly enough that’s all. Not threatening or shouting or demanding everyone shun or anything like that. So puzzling, isn’t it.
“…bodies that weren’t in alignment with who they were.” Sounds dangerously close to “born in the wrong body”, which I thought was verboten as of a few days ago when Mermaids realised saying that would remove their gravy train of Government funding.
I’m rediscovering how much I like John Cleese.
Well, would you attack this guy?

Some of the tweets that Cleese is responding to have disappeared.
Blood Knight in Sour Armour,
I know that one. I saw it with the following text on it (From right to left, on the colours):
White Straight Guys
Who believe in sexist gender roles
Hiding behind People of Color
<—————- F***king over lesbians, gay men and bisexuals
Warner Brothers Interactive’s president has made a statement on Rowling:
https://www.ign.com/articles/wb-interactive-president-responds-to-ongoing-debate-over-supporting-jk-rowling
Which sounds like a very corporate way of telling the Twitterstasi to fuck off. Not exactly IGN’s take, reading between the lines on the article, but the comments section seems to be siding with Rowling too.
