Forcing other people to participate in lunacy as to pronouns, banning “dead naming”, allowing men to use female bathrooms, allowing men to participate in female sports, allowing men to use female showers, placing male inmates into female prisons, these and dozens of other examples of government mandated madness, were bound to end in murder. The trans who believe they are really the other sex at least have the excuse that they are clearly barking mad. The true villains are the politicians, educators, clerics and everyone else, who have fostered this insanity on stilts for their own purposes. Transgenderism as a malignant political movement which must be crushed root and branch. Mentally ill people who are non-violent should be treated with kindness but never the fostering for a second of their delusions. Prisons or insane asylums await the mentally ill violent.
Again. Truth can not be silenced. Truth is not compartmentalized and used as a person uses a broom then puts it aside when done sweeping up some dirt. The Truth is alive and permeates the very air we breathe. Rowling indeed nails it. The true fascist are projecting their hate whether they acknowledge it or not. The “Nazi” claims that they make against truth keepers and seekers says volumes about themselves. Blinded by hate they claim to be something that they are not and are what they accuse others to be.
Projectionist at best…
murderers of body and spirit at worst.
Not a good look for a citizen of America.
They’re not ‘mentally ill’ in the sense that their range of thoughts and behavior are analogous to those of the denizens of asylums ca. 1955 or even those you find in memory care units, group homes, and skid row today. Audrey Elizabeth Hale, for all that she was a dismaying failure-to-launch issue for her family, had a workaday job. The tranny wackadoodle in our social circle (still in touch via Fakebook though we haven’t seen her in meatspace in eight years) isn’t hearing voices and (during the years I knew her) hadn’t stopped bathing. She is a woman who has always (as far as I can discern) had trouble managing her emotions and has an inclination to play challenge-and-response games with the people around her. Absolutely the wrong way to respond to this is to accommodate her in any way. Why we are suffering this issue now can be attributed (I’ll wager) to three phenomena: (1) affluenza, (2) the loss of freedom of contract and association among those not inclined to mollycoddle progtrash mascot groups, and (3) the ruin of the medical profession and the mental health trade.

About the latter, you remember Marshall Herff Applewhite and his Heaven’s Gate cult? One episode in the last years of the cult was that Applewhite wanted to be surgically castrated (and, thus, so did a number of his followers). They couldn’t find a surgeon of any kind to do the work where they were then living (in Southern California, IIRC). So, Applewhite and his crew had to find a sketchy practitioner in Mexico. You can see how far the medical profession has fallen in 30 years.
She’s correct insofar as what she said. I could wish she would also recognize other difficulties with language. Women and minorities went nuts about “inclusive” language back in the 90s. Thus, we must say “human” or “person”, we can’t say “man”. We also must reference an organization as “they”, though it’s one organization, so should be “it”. ..and “Black” persons are prone to demanding “African-American” be used instead.
*snorts* Multiculturalism, pluralism, diversity, I could wish we routinely acted upon these terms the way their roots and prefixes suggest.

I’m old enough to remember the ’60s when “negro” was fine, but “colored person” was out. Then the fashion went to “black”, then “African-American”, then “person of color” (figure that), and now “Black”. This is academic lounge-lizards pulling our chain, and we should ignore them. As a teacher for many years, I just went with what the kids in front of me used for themselves. In my part of California BTW three of the most recent four black students of my acquaintance are mixed-race, like a third to half of my last class (’22), which I should have expected from all the mixed-race dating I saw in the ’90s. 🙂
“This is academic lounge-lizards pulling our chain, and we should ignore them.’
If only we could. If only it were only they. *sigh* In military or corporate circles, we all must answer to “sensitivity” criteria. They reluctantly admit that all categories of people may be guilty, true. Examples still make abundantly clear that white, male, heterosexual, or Christian perspectives…will be the first to be summarily rejected.
Worse than that though, during my first year of college, I learned about difference between connotative and denotative meanings of words. I never heard it stated directly, yet the general gist was to undermine the dictionary. ..Never mind what you think you mean by a word, the person to whom you speak or write may declare that you meant something else, …and you’re almost always wrong. If I might even hint at pointing this out, I will always hear, “Well, language changes over time, you know”, or the like. While that’s true to an extent, change of meaning doesn’t occur nearly as quickly as claimed.
I do think we need to return to using dictionaries a great deal more. ..I also think publishers of dictionaries have need to cool down a great deal about publishing a different meaning to a word. Especially where the new meaning almost directly contradicts the old.
In general, we do need objective standards, not merely changing verbiage to suit the academic fad of the day.

I remember when “African Americans” replaced “blacks”. It was when Jesse Jackson declared it during his 1984 Presidental run. After that everyone changed, except of course for the NAACP.
Rowling is pretty impressive when it comes to fighting gender ideology. She won’t back down. Much respect.
