anger over 'Harry Potter' author: Why are J. K. Rowling's Tweets TRANS-hostile?
The Statements of the author were in the comments quickly as TRANS-hostile referred to. The reason: In your Tweets> J. K. Rowling made criticism Rowling with an argument that is based on a supposedly unchanging biological sex responded. Without biological gender, writes Rowling , there is no same-sex attraction. Homosexuality is a proof of the exclusivity of the biological sexes. Thus, the author implies a kind of competition between the existence of trans and gay people. However, trans be gay to be close not to each other. modern feminism trans people includes both biological sex and social gender, between those in English-speaking countries as "sex" and "gender", a distinction is made, as fluid, so changeable is seen. The sexual and gender identity of the people is not made, therefore, forced to the sex organs, with which they are born. The construct of the strict binary gender, i.e. male and female, is also in science there is no consensus any more. JK Rowling continues to align herself with an ideology which willfully distorts facts about gender identity and people who are trans. In 2020, there is no excuse for targeting trans people. J. K. Rowling stressed that, in spite of their biological tables of argument, that you yourself trans people know and love and that there is no "hate" to tell the truth. However, it is not the first Time that the " Harry Potter "-a writer is accused to be TRANS-hostile . Number of times fell, that you knew on Twitter TRANS-enemy posts of other Accounts with "Likes".

As author Linus Giese Blog explains in "queer mirror", this is a way of Thinking, the trans people denying their identity or existence. The so-called TERFS , like Rowling, of an unchangeable biological sex. In this sense, you see trans men as victims of misogynist structures. Different Biological women, who are trying to escape the oppressive Patriarchy in a male body, said:. In this line of thought, in particular, trans women to images of the enemy are. Namely, as biological men who dress up, allegedly, as women, to other women in protected areas to attack. In the United States the enemy TRANS-hostile Tweets of "Harry Potter"author J. K. Rowling
TRANS-hostile Tweets from J. K. Rowling: What TERF means?
I can t believe that in this moment @jk_rowling has decided the most useful thing to tweet to her 14.5 million followers is wilfully pedantic, gender critical TERF nonsense. The world is full of threats worth fighting against. Trans people are not a threat. #TRANS womenare women
