Never read the comments. Christ.

If your opinion is 'that black guy deserved to be murdered by the cops in broad daylight over a supposed $20 property crime' then get hosed.

Funny how these are almost always evolutionary biologists or anthropologists or someone else in a related enough field to make their takes seem legitimate but actually don't know poo poo about sex and gender.

Where are the molecular geneticists that specialize in sex-determining genes? Where are the psychologists that specialize in sex and gender?

that was rhetorical, I know that they tend to be firmly in the "ugh please shut up TERFs and stay in your lane" camp in some way or another

Ninja edit: lmao I read it and as I suspected they boiled it down to "there are only sperm producers and egg producers and that's the criterion for defining sex." Yeah that's exactly what an evolutionary biologist would say because ultimately that's all that matters in the context of evolutionary biology, sure, but I guess I didn't realize "what kind of cell comes out of your junk?" is the only thing that matters about a person.

Edit 2:

it's just that the academic source is a conversion therapist's research to backup his therapy

There are many, many problems with JK loving Rowling's stupid bigoted hateful TERF bullshit, and this is not an appropriate place to disect them, nor would it be good for my mental health. But the one that I want to comment on is the assertion that young AFAB "girls" are just copying their friends when they decide to transition (misgendering is from JKR.) You seriously can't think of any other explanations here? Like, say, that having supportive friends with shared experiences may make someone more likely to come out of the closet?

Does that refer specifically to those born with "intersex" characteristics or anyone who's considered to be female at birth and later decides it doesn't fit their gender expression?

Anyone who's considered female at birth, period. It's the closest term of any actual value to the "women who menstruate" or whatever BS term JKR was trying to use at one point.

Like, she's not wrong that there is a certain experience for people who grow up presenting female which is different from that experienced by people who transition later. But that's just an argument in favor of letting people experiment with gender identities and decide to transition earlier!

Quick warning and please actually take it:

J.K. Rowling released a blog post to explain/defend about her transphobia. It is literally full of vile misinformation and outright lying in every line. It is nauseating in its sheer hatred disguised as White Feminism. Don't read it. Don't link to it. It's harmful to trans people; even the tiny skim I did made me feel ill and scared. Never, ever, give her your money or attention. Ever again.

To be clear there is Nothing New in her post. It is the same White Feminism transphobia we've been seeing from TERFs (especially UK TERFs) for years. It's distilled Mumsnet mind poison. There is nothing of worth here.

As well as their disdain for trans people (which should go without saying), the TERFs are also very unpleasant, or very patronising, about all neurodivergent people. Either they say "mentally ill" to mean "dangerous, violent and unstable" or they do this obnoxious thing where autistic people are too innocent and childlike to be trusted with making decisions on their own, as seen here. I expect they have similar opinions about the physically disabled too, but I haven't seen them mention that. Anyway, as a mentally ill person who has been told I have "some autistic traits" by a doctor several years ago, I don't feel particularly Validated As A Woman by these TERFs and the horrible creepy men they fawn over.

Bold stance from glinner, not only is the author not dead, the author is both alive and is spreading, colonizing everyone else like a fungal infection.

Incredible that the man who cannot bear the idea of other people interpreting his work differently than he intended thinks that way.

It doesn’t even make sense then, because the only two actors named Ralph to portray a named character are Ralph Fiennes (Voldemort) and Ralph Ineson (Amycus Carrow), the latter of which was a non-speaking minor role.
