    If you take healthcare away from trans people, suicide numbers go up. And she wants to take healthcare away from trans people and shove us back in the closet. She’s chosen to attack kids, the most vulnerable of us. I believe she’s already taken lives through her lobbying.

      I might be wrong as I haven’t looked too much into it in recent years, so maybe her rhetoric has changed, but isn’t even that a little beyond what she actually has said? From what I recall, isn’t her entire stance just that trans women are not the same as biological women?

      Again, I could be wrong, I might be going off of outdated info, but has she ever actually argued that trans people shouldnt exist, or that they should be denied medical care? From what I’ve seen, it’s all boiled down to not wanting trans women in sports or bathrooms. Which, yea, that’s problematic, but that’s not the same as saying they shouldn’t exist or shouldn’t have healthcare.

        Here’s a fun one: She accused cisgender women’s Olympic gold medalist in boxing, Imane Khelif, of “being a man”. Seemingly just because she’s black.

        Anyway, back on topic: https://www.yahoo.com/news/j-k-rowling-uses-harry-175223238.html?guccounter=1

          Imane Khelif is biologically male and has said so directly:

          People really want to hate on J.K. Rowling for that, but she was 100% correct.

            Not what that article says at all.

                Okay, you’ve convinced me that the article says something that it doesn’t say at all. Good job.

                  It remains true that Khelif is self-admittedly biologically male, despite your wish that reality weren’t so

                    “I am not a trans woman, I am a girl. I was raised as a girl, I grew up as a girl, the people in my village have always known me as a girl,” Khelif said.
