So in my opinion, JK Rowling used to seem like a few older feminists I know, just kind of upset about new strictures — for instance, using the word woman was highly frowned upon in conjunction with things like pregnancy, which affects women at least 99 percent of the time. She wasn’t vicious, she was just being loud and outre. And then people sniped at her, and she lost her fool mind. Am I saying you did this, you made JK Rowling a monster? No. But she and Elno have both retreated to the arms of the people who were sucking their dicks, and gotten much much loudly much worse. Long way of saying JK Rowling is now doing Holocaust denial for trans people, and she’s sticking to it. Jesus Christ. (Erin in the Morning)

Forget the niggling over who’s religious enough for whom, and an off-note in the decision that says if your mission serves people who aren’t in your religion, that means your mission isn’t religious. That whole law’s out of order! (AP)
