Famously progressive newspaper *checks notes* The Telegraph have written a short article on it if you want to read it: https://twitter.com/Telegraph/status/1305093424413016065 quote:his fifth instalment in JK Rowling’s pseudonymous series continues to chronicle the prolonged will-they-won’t-they relationship between private eyes Cormoran Strike and Robin Ellacott. "a series of interminable conversations with various elderly" would be a decent thread title also. OwlFancier has a new favorite as of 14:21 on Sep 13, 2020 |

Call me a lazybones, but I'm not reading nine hundred pages of anyone's prose. In audiobook form, it's 31 hours long.

Suggesting that JK Rowling needs an editor is actually an attack on real natal women and you will be hearing from my lawyer, graham linehan in a barrister's wig.

I was tempted to try for a "man in a dress" joke because barristers also wear those but thought I would just come off in poor taste.

And when you think about it, isn't Dostoevsky's questions about faith, free will, and the place of the Orthodox Church in the modern world also a question of whether you can ever trust a man in a dress?

I gather the name specifically is also of some weirdo who had very strong Views on how to "treat" LGBT people for their "mental disorder" but unfortunately the name is quite had to google now, subtractive filtering only gives me the name of some 19th century engineer who I don't think is the same person.

Baron von Eevl posted:Has anyone made a point of the fact that Rowling writes under a male pseudonym? Unfortunately they would probably think that supports their TERFy point, because she doesn't actually identify as male, she just chose to present as first androgynous (JK instead of Joanne) and then male (under her pen name) for instrumental reasons, which is basically what they accuse trans women of doing. The far stronger gotcha from her literary work is in Harry Potter when Hermione drinks some potion that turns her into a man physically, but continues to be referred to as "she" the whole time by the narrator because internally she still identifies as Hermione even though her exterior physiology has become temporarily male.

Do you ever notice that people say JBP, Rowling, Trump etc can't possibly be racist or sexist, and then accidentally say the quiet part loud a minute later? Yesterday I was playing video games with a Trump supporter so I mercilessly abused them and verbally assaulted them. They were saying not all Trump supports are racist, but as soon as I called them a Nazi they bust out George Floyd slurs.

It's adaptation to their environment, they learn (and possibly even internalise, to a degree) that being racist/sexist/transphobic is bad and will put a lot of people off if they open with it, but they also are racist/sexist/transphobic and therefore they either come up with semi-sincere wankery to resolve that dissonance (gender critical, human biodiversity) or have learned to cloak it in "acceptable" language as an argumentation tactic. Which is why going mask off is liberating for them, either they can express themselves openly which feels good, or they find the true expression of what they actually believe without all the progressive sounding verbal contortion behind it which also feels good.

LordSaturn posted:that is utterly buck wild to me, because I know zero trans women who habitually wear wigs. they mainly seem to just let their hair grow out, because why wouldn't you, it's just hair. what would you need with a wig. The crux of it is that these poo poo-eating mediocrities really can't tell the difference between us and drag queens or crossdressers and have no idea what hormones actually do to a girl, a societal misconception definitely not helped by poo poo like this  (Eddie Redmayne too, but he's just objectively prettier) I can't tell you how many times I've been told that my implants don't make me a woman (I don't have implants), nor wearing a "frock and lippy" (I wear a dress rarely and makeup even more rarely) or that I'm reniforcing HARMFUL GENDER STEREOTYPES by being a butch-ish trans woman who doesn't do voice training or tuck her joanson away or hide being a trans person even when she can and all that happy horseshit--both by idiots who believe it or by people who very much don't but know that the idiots wil and give absolutely no fucks that what they say on mumsent or spinster today will be on kiwifarms or stormfront next week. This should tell you everything you know about who a lot of these people loving are

Gotta ask: is "joanson" a typo or a genuinely used term I've never heard before? Because either way, it's brilliant.
