I've heard theories that British feminism was way more tied into the physical body than American feminism, plus an entrenched class system that venerates the stupid ideas of the wealthy

I feel like there's something I'm missing there. no idea but I think she’s the only one I’ve seen actually going off like that. I hear about terfs a lot on SA but nowhere else. I work with an angry 65 year old lesbian feminist who proudly describes herself as a man hating dyke. I had a hunch that if I knew any terfs it would be her because she has a fuckton of hate to spread around. nope, she’s fine with trans women and had actually never really thought about that being an issue.

UK feminists weren’t as influenced by the Civil Rights Movement. They had their own thing going on.

Monty python made it impossible for trans people to have equal rights in Britain e- also are terfs even radical feminists or are they just cis women who hate trans people The New York Times has issued a correction as of 04:29 on Jun 9, 2020 |

I think it's because JK Rowling believes that women suffer incredible amounts of discrimination and lost opportunities because of their sex/gender and somehow trans and nonbinary people......do not?

Then, I guess those few people are undermining feminism enough to complain about, rather than the patriarchy's overwhelming power to undermine feminism.

The New York Times posted:Monty python made it impossible for trans people to have equal rights in Britain It used to mean second wave feminists who saw meaningful connections between sex and gender and wanted gendered problems affecting people of female sex, like reproductive rights, addressed, but who then refused to move past that inherent linking of sex to gender. So TERF was supposed to mean radical feminists who wanted improvements for women but didn't consider trans women to be women because they didn't think trans women shared the same biologically-determined problems as cis women. These days it's become a much broader term used to refer to anti-trans bigots in general though.

worth pointing out for the "terf is a slur" crowd that terf was literally a self-identification

Instead, the local police department, apparently knowing who the guy posting the nazi poo poo was already, picked him up for a probation violation because he was on probation for GTA and making violent threats on facebook towards me. I had nothing to do with it, did not in any way contact the police, and this loving moron got himself arrested. folks, sometimes a W comes your way on the wind, and you don't ask questions, you just take it.

J. K. Rowling is a billionaire, and ostensibly a self-made billionaire (as if there were any such thing). That’s all you need to know to understand her behaviour.

The conservative movement in America aligned itself with being anti-abortion and that sort of cleaved the issue enough that you don't get otherwise liberal feminists also being transphobes, because most of the transphobes are already in the Republican party and they also stand with all of the anti-feminist policies.

Rowling is a billionaire, and ostensibly a self-made billionaire (as if there were any such thing). artists, actors and other talent who get paid for their unique skill or idea directly are probably the one exception to capitalist production that can get filthy rich without exploitation, though obviously film, TV, music are as exploitative as any industry. JK rowling does benefit as a capitalist from toys and games and whatever else in that realm. iirc even in the soviet union writer and poet were probably the highest paid position in society, though you had to join a guild to officially be a writer you couldn't just quit your day job and write. it's actually a good question for both bourgeois econ and marxist econ why adam sandler gets $20mil / film and keeps getting it. That's gotta be tough to explain. Antonymous has issued a correction as of 06:18 on Jun 9, 2020 |

She’s more deserving of a billion dollars than Musk or Whitman or Notch, but she’s not a billon times more deserving than all the authors the publisher didn’t sign.

I'm sure the cops have a lot of non-cop allies who would also say that someone who had just got out of prison deserves to be harassed and humiliated like that, even in front of their family.
