How exactly should "The left" treat those who advocate for a group to become second class citizens? Does this extend to Klan members or other white supremacists? Cause as a Black man, I really enjoy having rights in society and I'd hate to lose them in the name of misplaced politeness.

Yeah I don’t get how she wrote THAT speech and then went on a crusade to further isolate a tiny minority of people rather than find humane solutions to extremely niche situations.

you want my honest opinion about joanne? she’s mad she found about being transgender late in life. I’ve read the things she’s said about her own gender and she’s either trans herself or incredibly jealous of men.

the amount of people here who don’t understand that the use of “insane asylum” here is actually part of the joke as it relates to how Rowling talks is both hilarious and sad. Inb4 “but mental health” because I’m a psych patient who has been hospitalized twice and lived with the stigma. calm down.

I’ve been in an asylum, and I don’t really think it’s funny to equate someone being a hateful malicious piece of shit to someone being in a temporary or permanent position of mental vulnerability and unwellness. The Onion usually is better than this and I hope you take it down and post an apology.

Another thought to chew on: when a trans kid attempts suicide because of the kind of rhetoric and practices that Rowling is pushing, if they survive they are going to be in a mental health ward for a bit. Seems like a double betrayal to compare them to a transphobe because of that situation.
