The most famous forms of Holocaust denial and revisionism tend to focus on Jews, casting doubt, for example, on how many were exterminated in the camps. But denying the impact the Nazis had on the other groups they targeted, including queer and trans people, disabled people and Romani people, is still Holocaust denial. Maybe someone should tell J.K. Rowling.

Did we just discover the TERF to Nazi pipeline?

Naturally when people called her out for being wrong she quickly set up a strawman to keep herself from having to admit any ignorance or fault. What a stupid hill she has chosen to die on, she could have been universally beloved if she just kept her shitty views to herself.

It's sad that she's likely repressing a LOT of gender dysphoria, but just doubles down on the bigotry and hate. Fuck JK Umbridge.

All direct quotes:

I believe I could have been persuaded to turn myself into the son my father had openly said he’d have preferred.

As I didn’t have a realistic possibility of becoming a man back in the 1980s, it had to be books and music that got me through.

I remember how mentally sexless I felt in youth.

Fortunately for me, I found my own sense of otherness, and my ambivalence about being a woman...

Oh yikes. Yikes yikes yikes. I would feel bad for her* if she* wasn't such a petty evil person.

Is it normal to feel mentally sexful? Asking for a friend.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, mentally I feel my assigned gender at birth which ironically is why I can see how people maybe wouldn't.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Weird. I feel kind of ambivalent, but not dysphoric or anything. Like I could just as easily have been born into a different body and felt no worse off.

I went through a bi panic in college and did a bunch of thought experiments with myself, mainly because I want getting action from either gender to try and test that out.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

Same, its like such a nonpart of my identity?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Anything your brains do that do not cause harm to you or others is just fine.

Fuck J.K. Rowling. Femcel. Lol
