    “JK Rowling Details Cost Of Speaking Out On Trans Issue, Blasts NYT
    ‘Rewriting Of History’”
    https://www.dailywire.com/news/jk-rowling-details-cost-of-speaking-out-on-trans-issue-blasts-nyt-rewriting-of-history

    ““Harry Potter” author and female rights activist JK Rowling blasted The
    New York Times on Monday for the “rewriting of history” about
    transgender activists’ vicious tactics, while Rowling outlined just how >>> much she and others have suffered for speaking out for girls and women.” >>>
    "Rowling posted a screenshot of a Times article that suggests trans
    activists are going to have to moderate their “unsparing criticism” of >>> those who disagree with them, ever since Democrats lost the 2024
    election and Americans are increasingly disagreeing with the trans
    agenda."

    "“The rewriting of history begins,” Rowling wrote. “Opponents of gender
    ideology haven’t merely ‘endured unsparing criticism’. I haven’t simply
    been told I ‘betrayed real feminism’ or received a few book-burning
    videos.”"

    "“I’ve been sent thousands of threats of murder, rape and violence,” the
    author outlined. “A trans woman posted my family’s home address with a >>> bomb-making guide. My eldest child was targeted by a prominent trans
    activist who attempted to doxx her and ended up doxxing the wrong young
    woman.”"

    Incredibly sad.

    As I have noted, wingnuts exist on /all/ sides.

    What is strange is that the obvious solution -- four teams/leagues
    instead of two -- does not appear to have occurred to anyone.

    I am wondering when a women's basketball team will be fielded with all men claiming to be trans.

    With our king and lord Trump on the throne, this madness will soon stop!
    In europe on the other hand, I expect all competitive sports to be banned
    in the name of equality of outcome.

    It has started among children, where football competitions are no longer allowed to have a winner out of the fear of psychologically damaging the children.

    The sad part is that that is exactly what they are doing, and crippling
    them for life.

    As a teacher, and businesses owner, I see almost every day how weak gen Z
    is and how unemployable they are. I've stopped employing them except in exceptional cases, when I know I have a rockstar on my hands. Several of
    my fellow businesses owners have adopted the same strategy.

    It is better to let them go to the public sector, or to some anonymous corporation for a few years to get exposed to life. After some years, the
    ones who were too psychologically damaged become burned out and go on
    welfare the rest of their lives, and _some_ (but sadly too few) wake up to
    the realities of life, and actually start to perform. Those are the ones I
    can then hire! =)
