If a man threatens to rape a woman, he is unlikely to know if the victim is born a woman or a trans woman.
That behaviour should logically be seen as misogynistic. Again, this aligns with existing legislation protecting people from abuse motivated by prejudice. This is not new.
i think people are allowed to feel uncomfortable seeing the members in military uniforms and i also think people who especially come from places that do not engage in forced enlistment try to exercise more nuance and i also think we should not know what bts do in the military

🧵Trigger warning: suicide
I am the proud mum of a trans woman, Alice.
Alice came out to her best friend, Lucy when she was fifteen, to her sister, Kate a year later. She didn’t come out to me. Why not? Probably because I’d absorbed media transphobia 1/
I *am* in the UK, but I'm not scared of @jk_rowling.
Joanne Kathleen Rowling. You posted that the Nazis did not target transgender people in the Holocaust.
Plentiful evidence exists to show the opposite.
What you said is recognised as holocaust denialism in Germany.

BREAKING: Palestinians in the West Bank have begun tearing down Israel’s apartheid wall.
Iran’s counterattack has inspired an uprising.

As regional war looks likely, remember at every step Western leaders were warned to de-escalate but instead they permitted genocidal violence for 6-months against Palestinians and then said *nothing* when Israel attacked an Iranian consulate in a sovereign nation.
In withdrawing from Israel, Samsung Next, which had invested in some 70 Israeli start-ups to date, is the latest fund to divest from Israel’s once thriving hi-tech sector, which accounts for over 50% of exports. Quite a few US and Israeli tech firms have already withdrawn.

JK Rowling has used her personal and financial ties to support famous men accused of abuse and/or rape for years.
For the reasons below, @jk_rowling is not a good advocate for feminism, women™, or domestic violence victims.
All public information is sourced and dated.
Long 🧵:
As the tide turns globally, I see the effort to pin the blame solely on Netanyahu. The strategy is to resurrect Israel's image in the process of toppling him. But genocide is not a one-man show; the whole system is culpable. Zionism must be abolished. There is no going back.
