My take on JK Rowling is this -
Many women are uncomfortable with the idea that someone with a penis is going to be allowed into their locker rooms, domestic violence shelters or other single-sex safe spaces.
Those women should be listened to and not labeled as bigots.

It’s kind of shocking how many of the responses focus on bathrooms and forget about locker rooms, fitting rooms, women’s prisons, domestic violence shelters, rape crisis centers, etc. Also I’ll just leave this here. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.independent.co.uk/life-style/women/sexual-assault-unisex-changing-rooms-sunday-times-women-risk-a8519086.html%3famp">https://www.google.com/amp/s/www...
And before anybody gets any angrier, I’m not arguing for excluding transwomen from anywhere! I was saying we should listen to cis-women since it’s their safe spaces we’re talking about.
If I get canceled for this I promise not to suggest listening to anyone ever again.

Last, if the only thing your& #39;e adding to this convo is coming into the mentions so you can tell a trans woman, "You& #39;re not a woman", please go somewhere else. You& #39;re being an idiot.
Definitely the weirdest DM I’ve gotten in response to my tweet.
Ok here’s another weird one. Like why DM me this shit when you could just tweet it to me?
And might I add... whoever somehow tracked down my phone number and repeatedly called my house and texted me nonstop asking to discuss my tweet, then called me names when I wouldn’t... stay safe. You’re clearly a danger to yourself and others.
When I woke up today I was not thinking “Let’s get feminists and trans people to say mean shit to other feminists in my replies.” But here we are.
I see a lot of people are misaing the part where I said “I’m not arguing for excluding trans women from anywhere”.
So again, for the crowd, I don’t favor exclusionary practices for trans people. I do favor common sense and addressing the concerns of cis women.

And for every person tweeting “I’m a cis woman and I don’t feel this way”, that doesn’t mean others don’t.
If you wanna change their minds calling them bigoted TERFS isn’t a great start.
You’re redefining what it is to be a “woman”. Some women aren’t gone be cool with that.

I really don’t understand why feminists like Rowling don’t get to have a say on what a biological woman is without being called a TERF bigot. They’re are biologically natal women. Surely that alone is enough to be granted a seat at the table?
