J.K. Rowling, new hero for human freedom....

[2aguy]

In the show Star Trek, The Next Generation, there is an episode where Captain Pickard is being tortured....he is told to say that even though there are 4 lights lit on the wall, he must say there are 5 in order to prevent more torture....in the end, he is able to say there are only 4, the truth.

J.K. Rowling is now entering that same position......she is being told to say that men can be women and women can be men, and if she doesn't, it is fast approaching a time where she will be jailed for saying men cannot be women....and women cannot be men.....

There are 4 lights.....

“Labour would make attacks motivated by hatred of the victim's gender identity into 'aggravated offences', including deliberately calling a person by the wrong pronouns,” the report stated. “ “This would bring transphobic abuse into line with assault and harassment motivated by hatred on the grounds of race or religion, which are punishable by up to two years in prison.”

Rowling responded to the news on X, formerly known as Twitter.

“I’ll happily do two years if the alternative is compelled speech and forced denial of the reality and importance of sex,” Rowling wrote.

“I can only say that I’ve thought about it deeply and hard and long. And I’ve listened, I promise, to the other side,” she said. “And I believe, absolutely, that there is something dangerous about this movement, and it must be challenged.”

2aguy's torturous gooberish drivel is just goofy.

Rowling has a right to her beliefs, and I imagine her billion dollars protect her from the consequences of free speech.

This is the UK. No First Amendment.

 

[Lord-Humungus]

This is why having free speech is important

Featuring the brilliant David Warner as the torturer, these TNG episodes are ripped off from 1984.

Next time you make a ham-fisted appeal to transphobia using a bigoted children's author & TV show to bolster your homophobic, ignorance-fueled claims, maybe cite the original source so you don't look like such an idiot.

TIA

There shouldn't be consequences for anyone who refuses to be forced to use someone's made up pronouns.

There shouldn't be consequences for anyone who refuses to be forced to use someone's made up pronouns.

In fact, there should be significant consequences for anyone stupid or crazy or cowardly enough to play along with any of this bullshit. Such idiots should be mocked without mercy, and regarded as having little credibility, if any at all, on any topic. Denying the biological difference between male and female should be seen as prima facie proof that someone is severely mentally defective.

She's bigoted because she knows that men cannot become women and women can't become men? That is actual science you dumb fuck.

No one is forcing her. She chooses not to, and that is her choice to make.

When you threaten government consequences, you are forcing. Stop trying to deny that.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

No one is forcing her to make changes. You hate government. Tough.

if they would punish her for using the wrong pronoun, they are forcing her to use the "right" ones.

Stop lying.

You should look up the definitions of force so you’ll stop misusing it

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

The right is not allowed to misuse the word "force"

Laws are force, or compulsion. Same thing.

"Don't do this or get punished"

How is the government punishing her?
