Is that Dobby, uh, "hanging out" behind her in the new pic?

 

[Teelie]

Somehow her new profile picture is even better/worse depending on your take.

The first anatomically correct Dobby doll ever made, maybe?

 

[DJ Kornphlake]

Gives him another reason to need a sock.

"Is that why she's the way she is?"— Internet reacts as JK Rowling black mold picture goes viral amid Imane Khelif controversy

Harry Potter author JK Rowling is making headlines this week after misgendering Algerian boxer Imane Khelif.

This shocking new photo of JK Rowling has trans folks wondering something - INTO

This might explain A LOT

www.intomore.com

A lot of speculation (you can call it CT if you want I suppose as it could be really ugly wallpaper) based on photographs that she lives in a house of mold and mold can mess up your brain.

 

[Mani-Man]

Oh i love that people start to run with the Mold thing.
This is the kind of stuff where you can mess with these people because their egos.
Calling Rowling a Transphobe or so, doesnt bother her sadly.
She is proud of that.
But making fun of her? That is hitting her right where it hurts her.

And here is the thing, its this kind of random hatred from Rowling that gets me too.
Like, here is this Woman who is living in this small country, fights her own fights...fights so that Women are accepted in her country in terms of Boxing etc.
She fights that, gets to the olympics...and then in comes the so called Feminist from the UK.
One of the richest Women in the UK, the famous Author of a childs book turned into a Billion Dollar IP.
And that Woman just starts bullying this Boxer relentless...based on what is most likely fake results of a Test done by a Russian Institution that got upset after said boxer beat a Russian Boxer in a fight.

The Randomness of this...that Rowling with Millions of followers, starts a hate Campaign against a woman who probably hasnt even thought about Rowling ever, never said anything bad about Rowling or so.
She literally wants to make things better for Women in her Country...something Rowling claims to want to but never shows.
Its so crazy.

Without hate of the 'other' there is no Republican Party.

Even if they have to invent an other to hate and pull it out of their ass.

I'm seeing a lot of so called "moderate liberals" saying supporting the trans community, using pronouns, and accepting gender identity as "too far left".

So politeness is too far left? Yeah, no.

I can't see what harm any of those things causes. Is it really that much to accept someone says call them by something other than your expectation? Maybe these moderates should stop expecting everyone to conform to their preferences?

One user said that saying there's more than 2 genders is what kept him from voting for anyone but Biden.

 

[Teelie]

There has always been more than two genders going back to before we called them that. Two genders is just the lazy way of saying you don't want to put in the effort.
