She's in no position to complain, is she?

  A huge part of advocating for the right to self-identify is about respecting identity whether you like/respect someone or not. She didn't get her contract renewed because she made it clear she was going to be an asshole to coworkers on this exact dimension. Correct gendering/identification is not something you have to earn. I still write J.K. Rowling's name out like that because it's how she goes by even though I wouldn't waste spit on her in hell.

    I was being petty, yes.

    J.K. Rowling has stated her love of transpeople and her wish to see them be fully accepted members of society. She has differences of opinion about the best political approach to achieving equality. Because she makes a rational, temperate argument that you do not like, you "wouldn't waste spit on her in hell." Which of you is the more hateful?

      I've had priests tell me they love me and want me to be a fully accepted member of society. There's just this one problem... So no. I don't believe the kind words she uses to paper over the harmful misinformation she spreads out of her confirmation shopping cart.
