Andrew Carter's 100 tweet thread on JKR (& me) bludgeons people into submission with its shear number of flawed arguments.

@void_if_removed says "You’d have to be an insane pedant to go thru the whole thread to correct the record.... so lets begin..."

Part 2. As Dave says this is not intended as a straightforward rebuttal. I have no intention of saying “I’m right and this is the definitive truth” - but people need to engage with these complex issue honestly medium.com/@dave_45588/re…
Part 3. But as he also says "its not that complex"

Saying that men and women are separate categories of people should not require this level of argumentation or provoke such hostility

Part 4. Dave sees the job through to the end.

Thank you!

One of the ways the authoritarianism works is by moving the language goalposts continually.

Here is Pink News Editor Ryan accusing @Channel4News @FactCheck of transphobia and lying for saying the law allows a man to be recognised as a woman Image
Citing @JonathanCoopr and @echrso he says only a "trans woman" can get a GRC, not a "cis man". ImageImage
What is the material difference between a trans woman and a cis man you might ask?

One can get a GRC and the other cant!

It's "conclusive proof" you see... Image

This decision by the US Supreme Court seems to be good news for LGB & T rights

It held that an employer who fires an individual merely for being gay or transgender violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 which covers sex discrimination.
It is about 3 cases:

Gerald Bostock fired after he joined a gay softball league. Donald Zarda fired after he mentioned being gay.
Aimee Stephens, fired after saying would transition.
The US unlike the UK's Equality Act doesn't have separate protections for discrimination based on sexual orientation, maternity or "gender reassignment"

So the approach was to push for discrimination for being gay or trans to be covered under sex discrimination.

JK Rowling's essay has been translated into Portuguese here

There is an Italian translation going on, and I think also a Polish one.

Let me know any others
