      I've just finished reading the whole of the post by @jk_rowling It only increases my admiration for her -a deeply empathetic human. The attacks on her are utterly unjustified. Read her own words: https://www.jkrowling.com/opinions/j-k-rowling-writes-about-her-reasons-for-speaking-out-on-sex-and-gender-issues/ …

      I started. I got as far as 'sex is not binary' and decided the next 100 or so tweets might not convince me to change my conviction that JK Rowling is 100% correct.

      In other words, nothing can change your mind, and you’re unwilling to look at arguments and evidence that challenge your preconceptions.🙄🤦🏻‍♂️

      No. In other words, I don't think this person is credible. Even the very first tweet fails to acknowledge that the end of a fixed contract is a redundancy in UK law. I read on, beyond the rejection of the sex binary, but got increasingly irritated with the failure to understand.

      JK Rowling's point is that there are good reasons why gender identity should not replace sex in UK law. If you are willing to consider this position with an open mind, please read thishttps://twitter.com/egipam/status/1267966586423558144?s=19 …

      I did. Twice. Color me unimpressed. As for calling me “Trumpian,” that’s even lazier than an eye roll emoji.

          Would it be possible for you to set out what you believe? For example, what 'gender' means in the context of 'gender identity'; if you believe that trans women are literally female; if you believe that sex segregation for rape refuges, sports etc exists because of differences in

          sex, or differences in gender identity. It would be very useful to see the gender affirmative view argued cogently and concisely.

          Sorry about the Trumpian dig. I was just astonished to discover which side you're on. My original tweet is the first that's got over 1000 likes, and a lot more followers. I suspect some will drop off when they see my political views.
