Says the lawyer pretending we live in a free society in which there aren’t laws, institutions, authorities, bosses and activists that render us unable to ‘do us’ freely in a multitude of settings… whilst simultaneously forcing us to ‘do it their way’ in various highly anti social circumstances, right across society, especially for the vulnerable and the public sector workers.
If you want live-and-let-live classical liberalism back @akuareindorf (and to see off the most horrid of hard right backlashes too), you should by now know very well we have to scrap the *illiberal* GRA, Equality Act 2010 and EHRC, which are bogus pieces of authoritarian socialist governance that force people to lie and to live by other people’s lies.
You can’t have it both ways.
Either we all have free speech, freedom of association, the ability to make discriminating decisions for our own and other people’s safeguarding in a civilised society - and then yes, JK Rowling can play with pronouns at her dinner parties all she likes and we can laugh at her foolishness - or we live under the anti-democratic EHRC and judicial diktat, and we have an endless culture war causing untold damage to good and vulnerable people… in which case those high profile people who assist the authoritarian socialist governance regime by applying gender theory, lies and falsified language (even slightly) will naturally receive all the pushback and condemnation they’re currently getting.
Which is it you want?

Heimlich gefilmt: "Ukrainische Regierungsbeamte stehlen alles."
"Ich habe in der Ukraine gelebt und dort mit der Regierung gearbeitet. Diese Regierung ist so korrupt. Sie haben unser Geld gestohlen... Und jetzt, wo es um 100-200 Milliarden geht, stehlen sie alles."
Das ist Andrew Hugg, US-Chef der Chemisch-Nuklearen Sicherheit, gefilmt von @MichaelCasey_ & seinem Team

EXCLUSIVE: A massive transgender Lieutenant in the Canadian Armed Forces just smashed a volleyball going 95km/h into a girl's face, knocking her on her back, and throwing her feet in the air. The CAF won't say how many injuries have been caused by Trans military athletes. junonews.com/p/exclusive-vi…

She didn't say it down the pub or to her friend.
She said it on a public platform and justified it publicly knowing very well that thousands and thousands of women and men would take her justifications as gospel.
It matters whenever any man is referred to as a woman, and justified in a political discussion on a public platform - particularly when the prison doing it is an immensely influential person who many people listen to and emulate.
It matters in private, because we all know these men exert immense pressure on the women in their lives to submit to their will when it comes to being accepted as a woman.
It matters down the pub, because the pressure is on anybody and everybody in that social environment to go along with it - submit or suffer social isolation, which we have many examples of happening.
Women have been kicked out of pubs and banned from social spaces for not submitting.
Social language is an immensely influential lesson for children, as we all know.
The practice should not be normalised in any way, shape or form, and there is no call on people who privately refer to men in their lives who they have personally judged to have 'female-centric energy' (which is a sexist construct) to try to justify that publicly.
Keep it private of you don't want to get criticism from the growing number of people who make their objections known and are no longer reticent to call out famous and powerful people.
I have no doubt JKR knew her post would attract robust criticism from the usual suspects, and why.
We are not wrong to criticise. It serves nobody's interests to tell us to shut up and just accept the idiocy of men being referred to as women when the practice has done such enormous damage to the cause of women, our safety and our public and political amenity.
This whole issue is a political issue and JKR, more than most, knows that without a shadow of a doubt.
Women have been arrested and assaulted and dragged through the courts for refusing to refer to men as women. That is compelled speech, and JKR's post adds to thre pressure.
The entire practise of referring to men as women should be frowned upon and resisted and objected to whenever it happens. And I will continue to do so.

People criticizing, challenging, or feeling disappointed by @jk_rowling words is not “linguistic policing.” That is public disagreement. Real linguistic policing is when people are punished, fired, ostracized, investigated, or legally targeted for accurately calling a man a man or refusing compelled speech.
There is a major difference between criticism and coercion. One is people using their own voices. The other is people trying to control yours.
So no, women expressing anger at the erosion of sex-based language are not the authoritarians here. Many of us have lived through the actual authoritarian version: reputational threats, workplace consequences, social exile, and institutional pressure for stating observable reality.
Calling backlash a “purity spiral” just reframes legitimate dissent as irrational extremism. Women noticing contradictions, defending boundaries, and objecting to male inclusion in female categories is not fanaticism. It is political disagreement grounded in material reality.

I'd rather be an 'ultra' than a liar.
I'm a research biologist, I would have to have gone insane to pander to mental illness/p0rn fetish.
This isn't courtesy/manners.
This doesn't help someone with delusional behaviour.
Nobody would say to an anorexic "You're overweight."

Effemimate gay men do not have female energy. Such a mindset underpins transgender ideologies which suggest masculinity and feminity hold genuine, tangible weight. A basis on which womens rights can be proportionatly devided by men like a pie.
It was likely such a minsdet that led Joylom Maugham to trans two of his daughters because they told him they felt mascluine.
Dress however you wish but that does not make you a special class of human with extra rights to protect your right to wear certain clothes in certain situations.
Dress however you wish but do not expect society to ignore the extensively documeted risks associated with males wearing female attire becauase it sexually arouses them.
Dress however you wish but do not expect a woman, when she meets you in her changing room to balance your rights; or judge for herself whether you are a traumatised, gay "good trans" or a fetishistic, straight "bad trans."
Say what you wish but do not expect acceptance without exception when you say some gay men have feminine energy and that we should all pretend they are female by calling them "she." If you keep saying things like this people will think you believe some gay men and some lesbians, should trans away the gay.

“You will learn to enjoy it.”
“If you want to be a good girl you wont tell anyone.”
“No one will believe you”
“Men can be women”
“It’s kindness to call a man “she”.
“You’re in a purity spiral if you have boundaries.”
Do you not see it?

So here we go, years ago I made an agreement to never discuss my family member who went into the for a 30 day stay and came out on estrogen and claiming he was a woman.
At that time I didn’t even know the damage wrong sexed hormones do the human body.
In the same conversation that informed me of this, I was also called a Terf for the first time, by someone very important to me.
“Don’t start with your Terf bullshit”, was how that went.
So I went to ground with sharing nothing more about myself than my animals, art and fighting for what now is my most precious commodity, that golden spark that is female.
To protect myself from being doxxed by own family member, who by the way has a very large following on social media of the Trans Mafia, my identity became my artistic name.
Peeja Blackbird isn’t my Twitter handle, it is the name I gave myself for my bravest act, believing in myself enough to continue evolving my art.
My family haven’t seen the majority of art, I don’t text them when I sell a piece and there is no excited expectation of sharing it with them, that has gone dormant.
As far as they know I am not on social media, easily believed since honestly, I have never cared for it.
I have had to close myself even more from them just to be able to stay in their orbit.
They do not know how different I am these days, that I will not play games in the “nuances”.
I am once again doomed to a half life because the “feels” of men take precedent over my boundaries, even in my own family.
I don’t believe in oneway kindness and thats all I see anymore.
Even know this new dust up is all about kindness, sympathy and how it affects them.
I do not use incorrect pronouns for my relative, just whatever name he has decided on this week.
I actually just avoid most family groups text chains or calls because every-time I hear “she” for a 6’5 man in a relationship with a female who refers to herself as a man, it’s like a death from a 1000 cuts.
I can’t and wouldn’t tell anyone what to do but I do know if it wasn’t for “kindness” I wouldn’t still be forced to live in the shadows.
I am a woman, a female, a mother, a daughter, an aunt, and a sister, I am never sharing those titles with a male.

@identityisvoid @St8ingObvious @NotMaryAnnObv @jk_rowling @surreykiwi @tonymc39 @theglassfish13 He also said that “The simple step of the courageous individual is not to take part in the lie.” Not paraphrased, of course. But seriously, may we have the courage to stand by our convictions…and review them periodically.

No, I don't think 'all people should have the right to decide their own rights', because a pluralistic democratic society can't function that way.
Which rights are trans women and 'fans of Pride' missing?

@ThatAussieWoman LOL…yes, stand or sit but do not wobble. Some good discussions have been generated in this thread and now others are taking up the themes on their accounts. Cheers to all.

Any ideas what’s happened to the sky bastards this week. In Essex we’re on day 5 of absolutely no trails in the sky and no white haze or blanket clouds??
not complaining but something has definitely happened. We haven’t had consecutive clear skies like this for about 5 years

Lovely!
The complete avoidance of any of the detailed and well-reasoned arguments being made against referring to men as women (let alone her acceptance of the concepts of 'transition' and 'female-coded energy') and jump straight to 'stop policing my language' from a woman renowned for creating detailed and well-reasoned arguments is very telling, isn't it?
But in this latest round of 'words mean whatever I want them to mean', I get the sense many more of us are pushing back and calling her out on it.
I'm not being as piled on and shouted down as much I usually am when I put on my speech police uniform.
How on Earth is anybody taking her very public speech as a private conversation with her gay male friend - who is entirely absent from the entire thread?!
English

Yes she is, Pascal.
She is doing all of that in the post I just quoted.
She is publicly declaring a gay man is an ex-gay man because he has 'transitioned' and by virtue of his 'female-coded energy' he deserves to be publicly referred to as if he is a woman.
I disagree fundamentally and unequivocally that it is possible to 'trans the gay away', that any man has female anything, or that the female lexicon is a gift to be bestowed publicly upon men we like and withheld from those we don't.
The words 'woman', 'she', and 'her' refer to women, and women only.
