I've read this over and over and I still can't figure out what JKR has done "wrong".

[weecalf]

I’ve said it before Ive said it in Brighton .

Such arrogance, andy. Hope you feel as embarrassed as you ought to feel.

//Women menstruate, men do not, simples. //

um, I think you'll find that's no longer true. and from that stems the controversy.

It's all been too confusing since WH Smith took over the high street shops of John Menses.

[Gherkins]

It's a touchy topic. Not all women menstruate but all those who menstruate are women (technically). What society allows them to identify as is up to society.

Spicerack - // Such arrogance, andy. Hope you feel as embarrassed as you ought to feel. //

That depends how embarrassed you think I 'ought to feel' - right now I am not feeling it at all - but let's not derail the thread shall we?

I would never suggest that they are - but don't let that stop you following me round the site looking for a fight - again.






Seriously, andy, I think you have an illness.
The last time I was on the same thread as you it was my own thread where your only objective was to cause disruption. So who was following who?
And how many off-topic post did you make on that thread?


Why you allowed to mod this site is beyond me.

[SparklyKid]

Sorry mushroom, I am talking about normal people.

[ToraToraTora]

if Andy has an illness gawd knows what you have cobber!

That is so silly, I am talking about normal people, ie, males and females.

[royfromaus]

Creeping again TTT

[Prudie]

Mushroom your link itself has completely contradicted what you wanted to say - "/Wow, so males menstruate. Never knew that.//

That person can because they are physically and biologically still a woman and not a man.
I originally applauded JK for sticking to her views, it's a bit disappointing that she now (under pressure no doubt) has to attempt to excuse them by revealing some earlier abuse.

[naomi24]

J K Rowling is right. Regardless of what women call themselves, only women menstruate. Despite what Harry and Hermione say, no one should be required for the sake of political correctness or anything else to jump on the bandwagon that encourages deception.

[Spicerack]

Yes, I only saw a headline, Prudie, but I had to laugh at her attempt to ingratiate herself with the mob again.

[Zacs-Master]

"Periodarmus" shouted Harry and 'puff' the woman was turned into a man.

[Theland]

Men should stay out of the Ladies, even if wearing a frock.

[andres]

I think she said that trans people if they don't have periods are not women.
Uterine transplants are being carried out now on some women who were born without wombs and ovaries. Depending on how successful these are the process will then be carried out on transgenders .Then they will have periods. I don't know how going on at length about her own personal experience of sexual abuse etc.has anything to do with it.

If the media stopped giving credence to every uttering by so called celebrities this kind of tosh wouldnt clutter our newspapers and screens.
