      You had me look it up as I had assumed she was English, and learned that her mother was of French and Scottish descent…

      I’d like to join in the apology, from the other side of the channel. It sucks that the Auld Alliance’s legacy is tainted by this terf piece of shit.

        You’re not responsible for awful people who happen to have been born on the same plot of dirt as you (as an American, I really need this to be true)

          I tend to read it as “they do not speak for me”. If you don’t speak up, then many people believe you agree with them, by default.

          By apologising, you are saying you actively disagree, but don’t want to get bogged down in the details. You might not stand directly with the victims, but you do stand beside them, against the abusers, and want them to know.

      It still makes me uncomfortable how many people see her in a positive light here

    “Harry Potter and the Myth of Consensual Sex” would have sold better.

      “Testis tortius!” - screamed Harry at the awful trans ally male, Draco. Draco begun screaming out from his throat, while slowly collapsing onto the floor, where he started vomiting from the intense pain.

      “Why Harry, why? What kind of arguments you have against trans women?” - ejaculated Draco.

      “They wanted to make the writer of this book JK Rowling pay taxes!” - ejaculated Harry - “They didn’t even treat her token approach for diversity like the second best thing ever. Now look at us: I am the Gigachad wizard cop, and you’re the soyjak suffering from testicular tortion!”

      i dont mean this as an offence.

      if you don’t want to do it in general, you should also not do it to horrible people. same way you would probably still not misgender a trans person, even if they are horrible.

      (insert that meme where the insult is reflected off the target and hits an innocent bystander, who shares the same attribute)

      jk looks objectively fine. i too find horrible people immediatly 10 times more ugly, but that is not their actual physical appearance.

        Yeah, honestly that’s just a horrible picture that’s also been compressed badly.

          If only this were true. Hateful evil people seem to live for-fucking-ever.

            Well every minute they’re alive feels like an eternity, even if they die early. The peak age of death is 84, even though the average is lower. If Trump dies before that age while getting the best healthcare in the world, it will still feel like he lived forever.
