I learned a lot here about how we got to this place in time of puritanical thinking and the inability and unwillingness to listen to one another.
Perfect example of how a once respected author of beloved children’s books has completely fallen down the TERF rabbit hole.

Extremely interesting and thought provoking series.
JK has done nothing wrong whatsoever. She is a real hero for what string minded women can achieve. F*k the ideologues and the ideology. Trans is a mental illness, not a state of being. I'd never tell an anorexic that they are right and affirm their belief they are fat. Equally, I wouldn't affirm the gender dysphoria in these people either. You are a very confused individual, you're not a woman/boy.
My biggest issue with Rowling is that she jumped on the completely manufactured anti-Corbyn craze and is a generally reactionary Blairite Labor type. Probably ended up joining the LibDems with the rest of the Zionist nitwits.
i boycott her because she donated 1 million pound of her own money to the "better together" campaign to brainwash and trick old people into losing their pensions if Scotland becomes independent.
Yhe young man at the end of this episode was a delight to listen to. Incredibly articulate and thought provoking. Thank you!
This was beautiful!

so well done
these people are literally insane and breathing their own air so much they have lost all common sense.
people aren't even trying to listen to what she's saying. it's all..you need to understand me. but is that going both ways?
she is so intelligent
too bad some of these ... preachers (and similar names) were put in the podcast. their "words" need warning labels too
She is just too intelligent for the "moral majority" Social Media is unfortunately a bane on society. IMO
