Monica Rooney: I hope it’s on their forehead — Subium • Bluesky web client

Sorry wouldn’t normally put her on the timeline but this might be the most insane thing j k rowlings ever written

If someone started talking to me about this in a social situation I would be wholly preoccupied with finding a way to escape from that situation

"I cannot overstate how little he wanted to talk about this." Yeah, no shit.

I think anyone who hears the word "penised" used in a conversation will be looking for the exits

Is that a term transphobes routinely use, or did she invent that?

RIP my Google ads

That’s why I didn’t look it up!

*opens private tab* I find uses from Glinner and Mumsnet going back to 2021, and hardly anywhere else. "Bepenised" from similar sources goes back at least to 2017.

This is pedantic, but "penised" and especially "bepenised" sound like they're describing someone who magically acquired a penis -- which I think is the opposite of what the transphobes are saying.

I hope it’s on their forehead
