Got it, you think showing basic human decency is a chore. What a piece of ****.

Why should their depression and insecurities be our problem?
Please articulate how simply using a person's preferred pronouns is somehow them making you saddle yourself with their problems.
What does it cost you to do it? Nothing. Absolutely nothing.

No one should be so insecure about themselves to demand respect when they did nothing to earn it.
I don't see basic respect about something so central to a person's identity as something that needs to be first earned. And in an environment where open disrespect for trans people is so common, insecurity is guaranteed to be a factor. Why do you think suicide and depression are so much more common among them?

"Trans and cisgender are not the same" is a reasonable statement. But Rowling doesn't respect that trans gender identities are real and need to be respected. She has gone as far as to actively oppose legislation granting civil rights to trans people. She's a jerk.
None of this should come as a surprise given how shockingly conservative the politics of her Potter books are, as extensively discussed and documented by the wonderful YouTuber, Shaun:

Trans people identify as the gender they transitioned to, not as what they were identified as by a doctor when born, which involves only superficial visual identifiers to make the classification, when in fact what is going on in their brains is more meaningful and important (remember that sex is biological and gender is only partly so).
So to refuse to call them what they ultimately are is indeed disrespectful and genuinely causes unnecessary pain and discomfort.
It costs the rest of us nothing to use their preferred pronouns and such, why not just do it?

She didn’t say anything factually incorrect or disrespectful. So dumb
People who are trans gender would beg to differ with you, but according to the majority of posters in this thread, their opinions about what does and doesn't disrespect them don't get to count.
And surely, the reason their own opinions don't count absolutely has nothing to do with transphobia or trans bigotry. Not at all. We mustn't even consider that possibility.

I think she made the distinction "people who bleed" and that offended everyone.

That's because she didn't.

Did she touch a nerve there, snowflake?
MAGA! FAFO! Schrodinger's Cat walks into a bar, and doesn't. Dumbocraps: evil people who celebrate murder.

Tread lightly, they are on a rampage again. Any thought that resembles any of mine is under fire.

Her comments are perfectly normal. You've unfortunately been indoctrinated by the lunatic left, and now logic doesn't compute with you anymore.
Thank you for talking to me

Makes perfect sense. There's even a big deal made over what to call pads and tampons since apparently "female hygiene products" is too triggering and exclusive a term.

As for sport, it's probably time to bring in strength and weight classes for everything.
Oh and I'm certainly not against people identifying with being whatever the **** they want to be. If they identify as beautiful mares and stallions they should absolutely compete in the races and dressage!

Except for genetic women, apparently.
You literally are making no sense there given the context. Try again.
Are you even aware of the fact that someone could have the chromosomes of a "woman" yet be born with a penis and identify as male?
These issues are not as simple as people pretend.

Oppressed groups get to decide when they are being disrespected and what counts as prejudice and discrimination against them.
Except for genetic women, apparently.

Weird how you keep describing them as "trans" women and not simply women.

Trans women are women, **** for brains. Get used to it.
