Harry Potter author JK Rowling has said she would prefer two years in jail over using a trans person’s correct pronouns.
That’s his choice to make.
This is such a stupid hill to die on.
I would prefer to not live in a place that would put someone in jail for something as asinine as pronoun usage.
How often are you correctly gendered as a percentage as you go about your life?
Im not even sure what your asking. But again who the F cares if your living in some facist state putting you in prison. See what im trying to say is the fantasy land she is talking about is worse than the subject she is talking about.
Nah, how often does the kind of dehumanization she’s gleefully defending hit you?
This thing you’re so confident you want to defend to the death her right or whatever…
…how often does the thing you are opining on harm you?How am I in any way defending her. Because I say living in a police state would be worse. If I say having radiation sickness would be worse is it to much. Nothing is worse than the gender thing? I think I get what your asking. Not in a long time but plenty when I was young. You have to remember though that in those days it was totally common for gym teachers to refer to boys in girl terms I think because they thought it would motivate them or some shit. So not just jerk kids.
And you feel that qualifies you to speak about what should and should not be done in response to transphobia, does it?
Look. When you start jailing people for being rude as fuck, it’s a problem.
There is zero requirement to be a target for trans hate to know that. Don’t be a jackass
You’re so kind to defend the racist billionaire’s right to dehumanize people. Where would she be without you looking after her interests?
So, since I’m trans, am I allowed to say that instituting a law where we jail people over saying something rude seems awful to me.
Maybe it’s just because I’m an American, used to our constitutionally protected freedom of speech. But I think the ramifications for an average person misgendering someone should probably be limited to social ramifications rather than government ordained punitive ones.
Now if it’s a doctor or government employee or something there’s a discussion to be had.
You’re allowed to be wrong, but at least your nose and partially your business. She isn’t going to pick you, though.
There is a high probability that’s a snootier reply than you perhaps deserve. Not in the best place today. I don’t retract it by I turn the volume down.Not that I think anyone should be in jail for anything ever, but intentional rebuke of a trans person’s gender should result in a severe assbeating and social censure.
Is there even a law requiring the proper pronoun be used for a person? Seems like you could be a dick and call everyone by the wrong pronoun and still not go to jail.
There isn’t one nor is there a proposal for one, she is misrepresenting the situation.
Bigots love claiming victimhood where there is none…
