I would have thought it was almost impossible to make me look like David in any circumstance, but the Goliath that is JKR & her followers might just manage it. I believe there is some middle ground where listening & understanding is possible, and I must prove it.
@KirstieMAllsopp I think Ms. Rowling has been extraordinarily restrained and polite given what has been hurled at her. No need for you to insert yourself there.
@SuzyQue27155082 If you go back to the beginning of this particular 48 hours period you’ll find that JKR decided to take odds with my views, I had never mentioned her name.
I'm interested in the words 'decided to take odds with my views', Kirstie, which implies that I was looking for some way to attack you personally, which I wasn't. I certainly do take odds with people trying to rewrite history, though, as you did in saying airily that we've always been able to debate so-called gender affirming care for minors. As I've already proved to you, many of those attempting to raise concerns around puberty blockers, and the ideology that led them to be used off-label, have paid for it with their careers, their reputations and their mental health. You've previously dismissed concerns about what's been done to young people in the name of ideology, along with the well-founded fears of women most in need of single sex spaces, as 'moral panic'. As far as I'm concerned, high profile people who've cheered all this on, without bothering to inform themselves of the real world implications of their feel good slogans, are complicit.
@jk_rowling @WRNGuernsey @KirstieMAllsopp @SuzyQue27155082 @KirstieMAllsopp if you decide to comment publicly about something you clearly don’t understand, you will find people will comment to educate you - something that Jo has done very eloquently and has backed her comments with evidence and examples.
