you're dodging the question. If she did all this to a person who'd said something you find really awful--like, say, endorsing segregation--would you still have a problem with it?

Zachery, I’m talking about what actually happened here. Do you think this abuse is ok? https://medium.com/@rebeccarc/j-k-rowling-and-the-trans-activists-a-story-in-screenshots-78e01dca68d … If yes, ugh. If no, send me your accountant’s deets so I can get them to send you a stern telling off.

I don't think it's "okay" but when it's the result of a billionaire celebrity attacking a vulnerable minority I don't think it's worth getting upset over, like that's the serious issue at hand and not what she said and did

You don’t think that abuse is ok, phew you’re not *that* awful. But uh oh Arthur ... That means you agree with Jess, because that’s what the letter to the Times said. DM me your accountant’s email address so I can get them to write you a letter about what a naughty boy you are.

Nah I think that drawing attention to the "abuse" and acting like it's some kind of big deal is a politically charged act that is very much not okay I wouldn't sign a letter condemning the "abuse" against Donald Trump either

It’s a politically charged act, that is not ok, to want less abuse on SM. Err, ok ... Sounds like you want to be able to say to me that you don’t think it’s ok so you don’t look like a sucky human, whilst getting cross with other people who also say it’s not ok.

It's not okay but it's on a spectrum In an ideal world it wouldn't happen, in the world as it is, I don't really care If I could do something to magically stop abuse there's hundreds of thousands of poor and isolated trans women I'd stop it for before I gave a thought to Jo

Cool, can you send me the league table of abuse so I can’t work my way down it? Wouldn’t want to get anything in the wrong order, lest my accountant tell me off.

You're probably good at this when you're not being disingenuous; basically everyone is. If someone constantly talks about discrimination against white ppl, but somehow never gets as angry about discrimination against POC, no one thinks they're just passionate about equality.

That's my logic here. Someone who is more sympathetic to JK Rowling than to other people facing vastly worse abuse *of the same kind* isn't just worried about abuse. You can blind yourself to that, but these are deductive judgments people make constantly and properly.

Right, the idea that the level of abuse JKR receives is unusual or notable is bullshit in and of itself In and of itself it's an abusive lie, if a subtle and implicit one They're saying this is something "TRAs" are doing that they don't have done TO THEM on the daily

The level of gaslighting here is extreme too They're extraordinarily abusive people who think that somehow by definition they cannot be abusive (women can't be abusers, only victims!)

Like I've had people yell to my face that TERFs never abuse people, all they do is stand up for their rights, IN THE SAME THREAD as their friends calling me a fat disgusting incel, telling me to kill myself, saying I'll get the shit beat out of me if I ever show my face in London
