Okay so I agree with the premise. I think J.K. Rowling made some hurtful statements. But I get upset when people try to say there are so safety concerns.
In jails. Transwomen are more likely than men to be sexually abused. However, women are getting sexually assaulted in jail by transwomen. If the idea of women’s health and safety is seen as bigotry then I don’t think the movement will effectively convince anyone of anything.
If you start from a place of dismissal it doesn’t seem like you want to understand the perspective of others. It hurts so bad when people act like women don’t have safety concerns. You don’t control who calls themselves Trans and who enters our restrooms and jail cells.
If she gets cancelled then that is okay with me because people should not have to support someone they don’t like. That’s freedom. Her using hateful speech is not freedom though. But trans people dismissing the safety concerns is also fundamentally hurtful and degrading.
I am all for the bathrooms. People should go where they feel comfortable and we should fight for equal rights and just but we are not going to do is disregard women’s safety concerns. A woman gets raped every 2 minutes in the United States. We need solutions to make everyone feel safe and valued.
