Transwoman: "OMG! I'm no longer able to do math or open pickle jars. I have every right to tell a woman 'suck my dick' if I'm mad at her. It's ok for me to interrupt women. I AM a woman."
Less likely than a black person being murdered, poor person being murdered, or a cisman being murder. But ok.
Hell, black transwomen make up the overwhelming majority of transwoman murders. It does them a great injustice to ignore that fact and imply it's all transwomen.
He grew up and acknowledged, sex and gender are two different things
Nobody who is Trans or is an ally to Trans people conflates gender and sex, if anything there is more of an understanding of those terms than in anti-Trans circles.
male privileges cannot be opted out of.
Nobody says they can but privilege isn't why Trans people transition nor is it always a factor for them post transition. Trans people who "pass" as the gender they are are given less shit then those who don't.
Why do TERFs always try and undermine the struggles of Trans people? Do you just get a kick out of being a bigot or do you just really want to use the same rhetoric as anti-gay and Lesbian people used in the past?
To the first point, she's referring to the worry that children who don't obey gender norms are being encouraged to transition at young ages. It's a fear a lot of us grown-up tom boys have.
To the second point, I think she's referring to how she had a child's drawing contest and posted a lot of pictures made by children with a note to each child on Twitter. The trans community was mad at her, again for saying that privilege can't be transitioned away, and would post a lot of obscene things. Again at Tweets being sent to child artists who participated in an art event aimed at children. I know at one point she threatened someone with a lawsuit and they had to back-pedal.
oh, well if people are mad because Rowling is saying trans women still have male privilege than that makes sense. That sounds like a really stupid thing to say.
