Current Affairs What is Woke ?

[trueblue84]

JK Rowling has done more for women in Scotland than anybody.

And by women, I mean women.

Why would the complexities of sex/gender and the psychology of those with gender dysphoria be best understood and fought for by a Scottish woman who wrote about a wizard living under the stairs?

Did this go to court?

He got off with a caution, along with the others - she only remembered it 6 months after it happened so couldn't be proven that it was consensual due to her frequenting a swingers club with him (non-consentually, he threatened to divorce her if she didn't)

You think everyone who is trans has gender dysphoria? Serious question

Perhaps it doesn't come across in my posts, but I personally think she is an obsessed toerag of a woman with too much time on her hands.

I used to walk past her massive house in Edinburgh often when going to uni. Must have a fair bit time on her hands these days as well. Think she could do something worthwhile instead of getting angry at clouds.

"Woke" is the idea that above all else, we should give a primacy of concern in society, media, business, and government policy to issues exclusively concerning race, gender and sexuality.

You might want to have a look at the statistics of transgender women and sexual assault, then say with a straight face whether they should be allowed in women's only spaces.

I'm, on average - and I'm not average, 157% stronger, upper body and 60% lower body stronger than a biological woman. If I was a sexual predator I'd have absolutely no problem committing assaults. This is what you advocate for when you allow trans women into biological womens spaces.

What's the source, I want to look at the statistics, genuinely.

You might want to look at the statistics about how much more likely transgender people are to be victims of sexual or aggravated assault and worse (4 times more than cisgender, for the info), and we go nowhere.

Maybe not using her platform to be a knob and attack people and instead trying to educate would be better, but who am I to say, right?

No. I'd imagine there's a whole host of psychological and biological triggers that I am nowhere near qualified enough to generalise an entire segment of society.

Them being trans has no effect on me, so not sure why people get so angry about it.

She should write another one of those wizard books people seem to like

My old boss is 'transexual'/'transvestite'/ whatever it's perceived to be these days, he had 5 of his 'transsexual' friends raping his drugged wife, while he sat in the corner of the hotel room while he watched eating cake.

Forgive me if I fail to believe a word that 'community' says.

What cake was it ?

I see where you lean as you've referred to 'biological' as 'cis' - which is widely regarded as a slur.

Have a quick look at the perpetrators of said abuse while you're at it, them get back to me... I know the answer so I'll wait.

Probably a massive slice knowing him/her/whatever 'mode' he was in according to fabguys.

Rowling and the bloke who created Father Ted have destroyed their own careers.

As a multimillionaire I doubt she loses too much sleep. I imagine if she writes another book she'll get a publishing deal and if it's half decent it'll sell well.

What?! It's only claimed a slur by Elon Musk AFAIK, which says more about you here to be honest mate.

You can wait all you want, I'm not providing anything as you have not either - a quick google search didn't turn anything up so I assume you have some proper academic sources.

I can't see who you're talking to, but I'm assuming he doesn't
