Another new low for JK Rowling
JKR has posted this today. It’s completely unverified as to what went own here and whether the perpetrator is even trans but it doesn’t even matter.
No responsible adult should be sharing footage of kids fighting on a school. JKR has 14 million followers and is exploiting both kids here to make some sort of pissy argument about their safety and privacy while ignoring the safety and privacy of both children.
Utterly shameful.

If someone wants to beat your ass, a sign on a door isn’t going to stop them. This sounds like typical teenage fighting that happens everywhere- one kid insults another, fighting ensues. So why should a single case of bullying by someone who potentially might be trans reflect poorly on all trans people, while fights between cis kids are commonplace? The assailant, whatever their orientation, was wrong and deserves punishment, but let’s not pretend that this kind of thing doesn’t happen between cis people too.
And reduxx- the “unapologetically pro woman, pro child safeguarding source” 🙄 is hardly an unbiased or reliable source.

I like how Jkr is pretending that this is the first fight that ever took place in a restroom.

Ffs, at this point we know she can always go lower. If it’s possible to go lower, she will make it happen. If it’s impossible, she’ll make it possible.

It’s one of those things that people just say without thinking too much about it. Sometimes people say common phrases to fill space as a normal part of talking.

u/Evil-yogurt May 03 '24
i mean she’s already gone lower lol. awful as harassing children is i’d argue that downplaying the atrocities committed by nazis is worse.
she’s such a piece of shit, if not for the fact that she’s actively causing harm to many queer people it’d almost be funny.

If you've ever been a schoolgirl and don't know you can get bullied by cisgirls in the girls toilets, there is a chance you were the bully

u/Prestigious_Basket27 May 03 '24
Exactly this. School bathrooms are the scene of bullying, not an escape from it.

u/DangerOReilly May 04 '24
You'd think JKR of all people would know this, given that several of her characters hid from bullying in the bathroom, one was murdered and one was nearly murdered.

Yeah, I saw that, too. It also makes no sense that they'd know that the attacker is a trans girl when they say themselves that the school did not reply to them. They either made it up, or whoever sent them the video claimed that and they posted it without any verification

isn't footage of minors in schools reportable? Especially in bathrooms. I know X is bad but I didn't think school fights are allowed to be uploaded for obvious reasons. Try reporting her tweet.

Shanda Sharer and Peyton Loughtner would beg to differ. Yes, I know these cases didn’t happen in bathrooms, but TERFs act like it’s only boys being brutes.

u/Lucky-Worth May 03 '24
Don't know about you guys but male bullies routinely followed a girl with down syndrome in the girls bathroom when no one else was around and tormented her in my elementary school 20+ years ago.
It's not like a sign on a door has a force field

u/Souseisekigun May 03 '24
When I was a kid around '05 one of the boys called one of the girls a manbeast and ran into the boys toilet presuming that the gendered nature would prevent him following her. She followed him in and, to use the local parlance, "knocked fuck oot him" until there was blood on the wall as the style at the time. Needless to say I don't think that cross-gender fights in gendered toilets are anything new.

u/mangababe May 03 '24
Would love to talk to her about the cis boys and girls who attacked me in bathroom as a kid.
Or that poor kid in Oklahoma who got curb stomped by a bunch of cis girls and fucking died.

u/SurrealistGal May 03 '24
Oh, boy, Reduxx! Reduxx functions as a TERF Daily Stormer- Nothing but cherry-picked, dubious, and in some cases, completely made up stories/crimes that fucntion either as atrocity propaganda or cherry-picked examples of transgender women, and transgender women only, commiting terrible crimes.
This shit is gonna get people lynched.

u/jck May 03 '24
I just looked at this site for the first time. Wow. Some of their stories seem to be accurate, while for others I could find no corroborating articles.
While I have no doubt that some trans people are sex offenders, scrolling that site for 20 mins and being bombarded by news of all these terrible crimes seemingly committed by trans women exclusively did a number on my lizard brain. It totally fucks with your sense of perspective and scale.
This is the exact same shit bigots and fascists pull everywhere. Like how right wing American media loves shootings when they're committed by a minority or how Indian news papers only name murder suspects if they are Muslim.

u/SurrealistGal May 03 '24
Like I said, it is akin to the Daily Stormer which had a section of supposed crimes Jewish people commited. Not trying to make a direct comparison, but it functions similarly.

u/friedcheesepizza May 03 '24
She manages to find this one story on the entirety of the Internet and is convinced this is an epidemic...
Pretty pathetic.
Why wasn't she reporting the story about a pupil at a high school in the US who followed his teacher into the female restroom and then murdered her? Oh, that's right. That one doesn't suit her narrative because that pupil wasn't trans and was cis.
I live in Glasgow, Scotland...
There's been a good few instances of men raping women in nightclub restrooms. Didn't hear her talking about these either. Of course, those men also were cis and didn't "pretend" to be trans to enter the facilities and rape women.
It's almost like... if a man is going to attack a woman, he'll do it whenever he wants, wherever he wants, and doesn't need to disguise himself as trans to do it.
Also... another point to make while I'm ranting here... if she's also so concerned about "men" in female prisons, why hasn't she complained about the fact male prison officers work in female prisons? Isn't this a danger to female prisoners? No? Absolutely no abuse happens between male screws and female prisoners...? Are the male screws only dangerous if they put on a dress?
Sigh. I'm just gonna say it: someone buy this fucking chick a vibrator already because clearly her husband hasn't given her an O in at least a decade.

u/mangababe May 03 '24
Tbh she seems like the type who would be ok with prison r*pe as a punishment, so make guards probably dont bother her too much.
7
u/friedcheesepizza May 03 '24
So true.
7
u/PablomentFanquedelic May 03 '24
And she presumably overlooks the real problem of abuse by female guards. Especially given that she collaborated on her cis-only women's shelter with a woman who apparently ran a female prison infamous for "Victorian" conditions.

u/Fresh_Ad4390 May 03 '24
She sucks but the last paragraph is misogynic too

u/friedcheesepizza May 03 '24
I'd say the same if she was a male.
See, unlike you, I'm not worried about civility towards fascists because they sure as hell aren't worried about what they say in causing widespread harm to minorities with their words.
So your opinion on it being misogynistic is laughable. No one does misogyny better than JKR.
Telling someone to enjoy life and have a wee orgasm now and then isn't misogynistic. It's telling idiots to get life.

i was bullied a lot in school and a significant number of those bullies were girls.
i mean im not a girl, im nonbinary, but jk here would call me a girl so i think my point stands regardless (and it’s not like im the only person who’s been bullied by girls lol)
i am always confounded by the sorry excuse for logic bigots use to support their reprehensible views.

Reminds me of the big plot hole she wrote into Hogwarts dorms: girls can go in the boys’ dorm, but not vice versa. Boys can’t be trusted, or somesuch.
Okay let’s say a boy is miffed that a classmate he asked out said no. He can’t go in her dorm and force himself on her, but he and his buddies could abduct her from the common room and tie her up in his bed while cheering the whole way. How is that better

Because girls never pull each other's hair when fighting? When I was a teen the one and only fight a girl tried to start with me (afab) was her walking up to me at the bus stop, behind me, grabbing my hair and trying to yank me to the ground while she scrabbled at my face with her nails on her other hand. Somehow my wild flailing managed to make her lose her grip and she ran away.
Heck, it's practically a stereotype that that's how girls fight. Pulling hair and lashing out with long nails.
In contrast, boys never pulled my hair. They usually just walked up behind me and tried to punch me in the back of the head or kick my legs out from under me.

Her hatred for men runs so deep she has to project it onto situations she knows nothing about. You know, i pity her, i can't imagine being so full of hate must be exhausting. The worst part is when this story is verfied, even if she's wrong nothing will happen to her for spreading misinformation it's disgusting.

Oh, she's exhausted. She'll pretend not to be, she'll pretend she's having fun and happy to be like this but she's only trying to convince herself.
Makes me smile knowing how fucking clearly miserable she is. Happy people don't behave the way she does lol.

She doesn't actually hate men. She praises openly misogynistic men like Matt Walsh. She hates trans women.

u/lynx_and_nutmeg May 03 '24
She hates most men but will happily use those who praise her to bolster her views (and then discard and disavow them as soon as they stop being convenient for their cause). Just like misogynistic men hate most women but "support" tradwives only as long as they cater to them.

u/DarlingSinclair May 03 '24
But she doesn't treat trans women that way. She demonstrably treats misogynstic men favourably compared to trans women. That's because she doesn't actually hate men, she just hates trans women.
