“I kept trying to talk about a subject my business colleague clearly didn’t want to talk about, and he got uncomfortable. Once again, the trans mafia silencing women!”
straight men i tell my unhinged theories about the trannies always get uncomfortable and stop talking to me. this is how deep the trans conspiracy goes!!!!
Reminds me of how she described an obese man in one of her crime novels as "the first thing people thought about when seeing him was his penis, [fatphobic bs follows]" which is certainly some projection. She apparently just constantly thinks about penises.
WHAT THE FUCK - everyone obsessing about someone’s penis is not unexpected, but I did not expect to see this weirdly specific fatphobia this early in the morning.
“Huh. He shops at the Big and Tall. Wonder what his penis looks like?“
I've said this before but I decided a long time ago a lot of anti trans nonsense is driven by middle aged bores who get a little thrill from saying "penis" over and over
One thing I noticed years ago, when the focus was more on gay marriage rather than trans people, was that the phrase "shoved down our throats" turned up far, far, far more commonly than in any other conversations.
Just saying.
Can you imagine? You're just standing in line at the coffee shop minding your own business and some vaguely familiar lunatic runs over to you screaming about penised lesbians, and then two days later you read this tweet and wonder to yourself, "wait a second... was that...?"
IMO Rowling is a sub-phenomenon, alongside Linehan & Chappelle. Born comfortably well off--well-educated--liberal by default--achieved genuine and deserved success with big fandoms--carelessly dropped a bit of transphobia--furious at the idea they could ever be wrong--been digging deeper ever since.
I’ve known a few middle aged bores like this but happily this was before the current elevated climate of trans=evil.
So they ended up talking about animal mating habits at length. At least that’s kind of interesting.
It sucks!
1) Bigots are horrible and should fuck off
2) Penis is one of those inherently funny words that's great to use when you need to swear but don't want to uncork the good stuff and it's being taken from us by bigots who should fuck off
