Trans kids are not a “recent” thing. I came out as trans and was diagnosed with gender dysphoria 20 years ago, and I know plenty of people who came out as kids before that. And the use of the word “invention” is once again dismissing and delegitimizing trans people. Inventions have to be invented by someone. Whose “invention” are we exactly?

With the way trans people live rent free in jadis' head he's either an egg or a chaser. If there's one new post on this forum, guaranteed it's him terf-posting.

According to the followers of the most influential feminist thinker of the 20th century, who famously wrote in 1949 that "One is not born, but rather becomes, a woman" (she didn't use the word "gender", it was coined a bit later). Caused a huge furror at the time, though today it's seen as rather tame, I think. Anyway "the big idea" of mid 20th century feminism was to reject stereotypes of "femininity." Whereas the trans movement of today appears to take them arguably more seriously than they've ever been taken before.

It's not "simply an observation" lol it's a momentous philosophical revolution.

I have to know, why "hundreds of years"?

Police drop guidance allowing trans officers to strip search people of the opposite biological sex

The National Police Chiefs’ Council said it was conducting a ‘thorough’ review of its guidance on searches after concerns for women's safety

So many great headlines from the British gender wars, so little time

Police arrest British singer, 36, and quiz her over comments she made on GB News about 'being threatened by trans-rights extremists'

Also, this has gotten the usual suspects (I'm talking about the the terf contingent) hot under the colar on Twitter today so much so they deleted the tweet and amended the headline.

"Female is real, and it's sex, and femininity is unreal, and it's gender. For that to become the given identity of women is a profoundly disabling notion."

She lost her author priveleges it appears! Billed as just some random transphobe who will get to be involved in the decision-making process of a TV show...

"Known transphobe J.K. Rowling is now reported to be an active exec producer on the ‘HARRY POTTER’ series where she will be involved in the show’s decision-making."
