TERFs will just make shit up. It’s absolutely unhinged. Rowling also has them denying that Nazis killed trans people - they’ve started to claim that the Nazis issued “transvestite passes” (which the Weimar Republic did - famously not the Nazi government) based on a book of photographs someone published of Nazi soldiers doing drag.

The Nazis tortured and murdered trans people. Some did drag because they thought it was funny, heck the US military did official drag shows during WW2. People do drag because it’s funny, that doesn’t mean they accept trans people. It’s unhinged how willing people are to lie and spread the lies of others in order to justify their hate.

Yep doing drag shows because it's funny is the opposite of accepting trans people. It mocks them, and women too.

[–] andros_rex@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago

It’s a performance art, and like any other form of performance it can be used to be shitty, but it’s not inherently mocking of women or trans people. Some of the stuff I’ve seen on RuPaul has made me cringe, but I’ve also seen queens that dress up like church marms and do a Betty Bowers/old school Colbert skewering of the Christian right.

Hey now, drag queens and kings aren't the enemy.

how willing people are to lie and spread the lies of others in order to justify their hate.

It's simply the required narrative not to call themselves monsters. The bigger the horror, the bigger the lie.

Phantasms are one hell of a drug.

It’s exhausting, because once you debunk them on something, they just move on to something else. It’s easy to just make up shit, it takes work to prove it wrong. There’s no guarantee anyone sees the debunking either.

It's truly beyond me how people have the energy to keep with celebrities

Pascal is loved and will not tolerate people talking shit about his trans sister.

Rowling at this point subsists on a half assed crumbling potter legacy she's using to fund transphobia. She went after tennant and since that backfired bigtime her calvary of fuckos are now trying Pascal. It will end just as badly and they will never learn

[–] Darleys_Brew@lemmy.ml 14 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Thing is the Potter legacy wouldn’t be crumbling, at least not as much, if she hadn’t chosen to be a complete dickhead.

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 2 points 4 hours ago

Ayup. Entirely self made problem here.

[–] SlartyBartFast@sh.itjust.works 16 points 12 hours ago (5 children)

You can't go after Tennant 'cause he'll just hop in the TARDIS and undo every point you tried to make

[–] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 7 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Or tell her to stick her hand in a blender and stop using it to type bigoted bullshit

[–] SlartyBartFast@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

Pretty sure she uses magic to type, she would just have her patronus do it for her

[–] kadaverin0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 6 hours ago

TYPUS TRANSPHOBIUS!

[–] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago

Maybe Barty Crouch has a cunning solution to keep her quiet.

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 7 points 12 hours ago

She wishes she tried to fuck with the oncoming storm.

She went after Tennant's kid instead.

Dude is chill and she is not. That is enough for me.
