This post was reported as rule 1 violation, but I'm allowing it. Trans issues are something that some men also experience, whether as biologically male or as gender-identifying as male. It goes to the core of what it means to be a man. We want to express our support for those men.

They both seem to be reasonable and are disagreeing with extremist views. If by the logic of TRAs anyone is a woman then anyone is a man.

JKR is not a transphobe. She just doesn’t think it’s out of malice that we categorize men and trans identified men as not exactly the same as an average woman.

I’m a gay man and the most homophobia I’ve experienced in my whole life has been from trans identified women who claim to be gay men and say that I’m transphobic for not wanting have PIV sex.

Pink news will never be critical of trans issues. Which is not the same as being anti trans.

It's very interesting to me how it's been less than a week after 'The Woke Left' co-opted Eddies (a gender fluid comedian and "executive transvestite" for over 30 years) answering of the question on which pronounces they'd like to be referred to as confirmation Eddie has now fully transitioned into a women. Now when Eddie has had to step in to reclaim their own stance on who they are on 'trans debate' the heralding voice of LGBT+ media has very little to say about Eddie at all.

I've not been a fan of Pink News for a while but I didn't realise they were this... Bad at journalism.

I'm not sure if Rowling is outright transphobic, but her tweets are offensive.

Trans girl here - I'm genuinely scared of the violence and stereotypes. I'm genuinely frightened I'll be laughed at and erased. People are more 'aware', but people also take 'attack helicopter' jokes seriously. In truth, I could never live truly as I want. My 'trans persona' is something that only close people will know.

Rowling shows a big misunderstanding and ignornace of trans issues. It's best not to talk about things you don't understand. If the world wasn't so hostile to us - if I could feel unafraid to wear fishnet gloves and other feminine clothing - I wouldn't mind. But in this climate, she fuels the hatred and stereotypes against us.

Remember trans girls are AMAB. We 'lived as a man' for a while. I don't see myself as a man, but I do know in some way what it's like. We're not perfect strangers. Please accept us.

I have my problems with Rowling, but I do think some of her concerns are legitimate, and so I agree with Eddie Izzard that she should not be written off as transphobic. I think we should be able to have a conversation about it without knee-jerk reactions. The cancel culture from the woke side is way more toxic.
