Literally the data shows trans women are several orders of magnitude more likely to be raped than to perform it. This is just the most offensive and disgusting kind of victim blaming. Rowling is such a disgusting human being like I don't have the words to describe how ugly she is as a person.
It could mean the individual has a penis or that the individual has been subjected to a penis
No one cares more about transfemme's dicks than TERFs, not even the transfemmes they are attached to.
Trans women are 4x more likely to be raped than cis women. Stop making us the villains and it’d help all of us
Getting some real Emmett Till energy off that twitter post. Bonus points for doing a :1984: homage in the midst of a double-speak.
The 1984 bit is especially weird because she couldn't even stick to the format. Like, short, 3-word sentences, "X is Y," and she follows that with this unwieldy construction about a "penised individual." She's supposed to be a professional writer!
If I were raped, I think the gender identity of my rapist would be less of a concern than the fact that, you know, THEY WERE A FUCKING RAPIST.
TERFs will often try to weaponize the pain, trauma, and rage a victim of SA justifiably feel and then point it towards communities they hate. Typically this is trans women, but I've also seen them do it towards POC as well.
On that note, what is the preferred term now for someone who was the target of SA? Victim, survivor, or something else? Legitimate question as I want to make sure I'm expressing solidarity correctly.
It's probably personal and anything you say will upset someone tbh.
Personally irl I've heard survivor being liked more.
I would probably avoid comparing these two things, fyi.
Not trying to drag you, just give you feedback.
CHUDs love to play with the language of sexual assault because they've seen how powerful it is after the whole #MeToo thing came and went. There is nothing they will not commodify.
they've been doing this for centuries. remember Emmitt Till? it's a repackaged tactic for justifying a pogram.
It's an extremely common tactic by rightwingers for character assassination. That is beyond fucked because it adds noise to actual SA accusations, which are the vast majority.
chud men use it because they can stir up fear about their breeding stock being contaminated. that's it, that's all they care about. chud women use it because woman are scared of being raped and they want to point that fear in the wrong direction.
I get what you were going for here (gold star! good for you, baby brain! it's scratch-n-sniff!), but "gold star and a bullet" might be read uncharitably in other circles. Keep on your toes, comrade.
Imagine being a billionaire and wasting your time being bigoted and obviously unhappy on Twitter. Absolutely pathetic. She could do basically anything she wants and yet chooses to spend her time making other peoples' lives worse because she is consumed by her brainworms. Could you be a bigger loser?
The UK has a major problem with boomer second wave feminists taking up most of the positions of power in old media.
Does anyone know why that is? I don't see that in other countries - not to the level of TERF island.
Essentially, second-wave feminism didn't get the prolonged and necessary beating from third-wave feminism. This is what happens when you have pure, bourgeois white feminism without any pushback from queer, indigenous and POC thinkers.
So basically the english have too many white people? I agree with this.
It's not just a media phenomenon. UK liberals are far more transphobic than US ones
A lot of civil rights movements such as the LGBT movement found allies within the unions. Academic feminists made up the majority of folks writing feminist theory. Said academics were mostly upper class and thus wouldn't be seen dead with the proles. Therefore feminist theory in the UK largely developed sans intersectionality.
Everyone here should report this tweet. It's not much effort and there's a slim chance she'll get banned.

I love bepenised folks, let me tell you, just much as I love vagina-ed people
Bepenised folks with bespoke junk. We're real, we're queer, we fill TERFs with irrational fear.
Bepenised folks with bespoke junk, rocking tight fits and mastering funk
She's following the path of Glinner and other British Terfs, where eventually trans people will be literally all she talks about. There's something about that specific strain of transphobia, that it takes over your life completely, even if it means destroying your career and marriage.
Its my headcanon that all those kind of people are usually repressed transes and are just taking it out on everyone else.
This is not a good trope to repeat. I can understand the inclination, but it's offensive to a lot of trans people.
I could see that. I'm trans myself and it's a bit that I've thrown around with my friends for a while, but I could definately see that take.
Same. I think that's one of those jokes that I understand being thrown around in trans circles when people are frustrated.
Internalized transphobia is very much a thing and suppression can cause people to lash out and be extremely bigoted to trans people.
Anyway, solidarity sister.
:trans-heart:
maybe she could support access to HRT since that effectively gives trans women ED
Dude what the fuck, come on.
