    • @joelanon
      @joelanon 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Putting aside my presumptions about whether she originally knew about Robert Galbraith Heath when she chose the pseudonym, she’s yet to apologize and take proper accountability outside the realm of “I didn’t know.” If she can apologize for killing a fictional character like Snape, she can at least apologize for her lack of awareness and at most take proper steps to show she cares about the issue. She can’t call herself an ally and share a name with someone who was so vehemently against us. Then again, considering she sees transitioning as a form of conversion therapy, I can’t confidently say she understands what it even means. And yes, I did admire J.K. Rowling for the majority of my life, but I hold the people close to me at a higher regard than any celebrity, and when her words hurt my dearest friends and loved ones, I can’t just sit idly by. I admire her journey to success, but I don’t admire her as a person as I did when I was younger.

    • @gayjustgay5432
      @gayjustgay5432 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@joelanon Apologise for the lack of awareness? You can't apologise for something some people presumed you intentionally did, especially if you never had an intention to do harm and couldn't even ever suppose that coincidence would occur. Apologising would mean she knew about this person, which is very, very, VERY doubtful. If someone should apologise, it's people who accuse her for such a horrid thing as to endorse the views that gay people can be "conversed". Everyone knows she's leftish liberal who really ascribes to the ideals of this worldview: helping poor people; endorsing women's, children's and gay rights; believing in freedom of speech. These are the ideals that "progressive" left has forgotten about.

    • @gayjustgay5432
      @gayjustgay5432 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      It's also important to remember about two things: 1. Transition is sometimes really used as a conversion "therapy", in the Middle East (gay men are forced to transition). I've heard from lesbians that some people asked them if they're going to transition. It never happened to me as a gay man, but lesbians face it more often. It sounds like pushing them into transitioning, making doubts in their minds. And women were socially raised in different way than us, so neither you nor me can understand totally how it works for them. I guess that because society is sexist, they face much more pressure. 2. But nonetheless, JK Rowling never said that transition is conversion "therapy": she wrote in her assay that she knows transition is an option for some. And we all know it's true. At the same time, a boom in transitioning of people who are very young can lead to grave consequences for them. It's not black and white. To support people does not always mean we have to say they should transition. Because some of those who believe they're trans, can happen not to be trans at all. Gender identity is not as easy to grasp as sexuality, because it's much more socially constructed. That's why dysphoria is an indicator. Maybe it should be even called sex, not gender dysphoria.

    • @joelanon
      @joelanon 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes. People apologize for lack of awareness all the time, and they back that apology up with an action that shows they’ve learned. Her inaction only shows that she’s now aware, and does nothing about it moving forward. It’s as if a friend does you harm inadvertently, and then refuses to apologize after you’ve told them the harm they did. It doesn’t matter that they didn’t know at the time, they know now. And if they refuse to do anything to show they’ve learned, then they haven’t learned anything from their mistake. I’m not bringing to question her other views and stances; of course helping the poor and standing up for women and children and gays are important. But if we’re not standing up for trans women or trans children or trans gay individuals, then we’re excluding a highly targeted and demonized demographic that deserves the same liberties and rights as everyone else. Also, she did compare transitioning to a new conversion therapy. This is the direct quote: "Many, myself included, believe we are watching a new kind of conversion therapy for young gay people, who are being set on a lifelong path of medicalization that may result in the loss of their fertility and/or full sexual function.” I highly recommend watching Jammidodger’s video which I have linked in my bio and at the end of my video, he discusses these issues in much greater detail than I can in a comment.

    • @joelanon
      @joelanon 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      1. I’m not versed in the ways of the Middle East, but using anything as a form of conversion therapy is wrong. Forcing anyone to transition is wrong. That’s not what I’m talking about though, the people who want and/or need to transition for their own mental health should have the ability to do so. In regards to telling lesbians to transition, Contrapoints speaks on this in her video on Rowling which I also have linked in my bio and at the end of my video. There’s still a lot to learn in regards to gender identity, and those who try to convince lesbians that they’re secretly men are only furthering their own inherent heteronormative societal view and projecting that onto butch women. It isn’t right, and it’s something we should focus more on as a whole. No one should be forced to transition, but no one should be restricted from doing so either. 2. There’s a lot that goes into transitioning, it isn’t a switch that just allows people to get whatever treatment they desire. Jammidodger goes over it in his video, but there are psychiatric evaluations that determine and diagnose gender dysphoria in a person. Sex and gender are two different things and should not be used interchangeably. Jammidodger also goes over this in his video in a very comprehensive manner, again in a much better and more digestible way than I can in a comment.

    I liked Harry Potter the universe a bit, not so much the main character or writing, but I was definitely inspired by her life story. I wanted too to rise above and inspire. But I was still never too connected to her. But I sincerely feel for you and others that feel the way you do about her. I wish I could give the whole “death of the author” and leave her be, but as Lindsey Ellis once pointed out, it’s hard to separate Rowling’s opinions from the books when her books finance her to gain more power to her opinions. Maybe one day.
