This article set me off.

I can’t stand it anymore. It’s amazing how JKRowling, whose compassion for the women and the disadvantaged is well known, is now being roasted by the woke left for having her reservations about transgender issues.
JRK’s article, which probably 99.9% of her detractors have not read, is here:
https://www.jkrowling.com/opinions/...ns-for-speaking-out-on-sex-and-gender-issues/
Seriously, I come to this site because I want to talk sex anonymously. But I find myself also a bit wary about writing too much and bringing a ton of woke left hate down on myself.
My view has many similarities with JKR’s.
I just do not feel comfortable with letting biological men enter women’s spaces, unless proper actions have been taken to [heck, I’ll just say it] remove that biological difference. Aka, snip, snap!
Gender and gender roles is one thing. I certainly think trans people are entitled to legal protections. You shouldn’t be harassed or the subject of hate or be fired just because you choose to identify as a woman.
But biology is another. You cannot truly change your sex. Even if you take hormones and go under the knife, what about your DNA? Is that going to change? Every single cell in your body is still going to carry that telltale sign that proclaims the sex which you want to reject so much. You cannot even change ONE cell no matter how desperately you try to ******* the issue.
It was good that the Supreme Court has ruled that the Civil Rights Act protects gay and transgender employees. I totally support that.
I’m also pleased to know that the court only discusses employment and excludes “bathrooms, locker rooms, or anything of the kind.”
Biological females should use biologically female locker rooms. That means lesbians, transgender men, cisgender women, etc should use these locker rooms. I’m of course aware that some lesbian may hit on me, or some bearded trans guy with XX chromosomes might look at me. But we’re XX, so we should use the locker room for our sex, and we’ll just have to cope with being lusted after by a small minority of the XX world. Frankly, it won’t happen too much so I expect women’s locker rooms to be fairly peaceful spaces. Bearded trans men are less than 0.1% of the population and don’t exactly commit many rapes, sexual harassments or abductions.
As for the XY, XXY, XYYs, they can all use the same room. If this means men have to accept other men wearing skirts and heels in the same bathroom, so be it. After all, they have to accept gay men in the same bathroom too.
It should be a federal offence or hate crime to bash up people in the locker room for not dressed the way they prefer. I think this is the most important part.
No one should be ****** to accept gender roles. As a woman who wears pants most of the time, I can’t imagine being ****** to wear fluffy baby doll dresses.
I also think we should have public bathrooms for ‘in-betweens’ which can be used by men or women. This is to protect trans women, because men are a lot more intolerant and violent when it comes to enforcing so-called gender or sexual orientation roles.
But I am absolutely against men walking into women’s changing rooms just because they decided they feel feminine today.
