There is no 'living as a woman.' There is only living while being a woman, or performing a male idea of what
a woman is, while being a man.

This is your obsession and it's pretty relentless and for no reason. You don't get to decided who or what anyone is except when you write. In the real world people can and always will be what they want to be. You can't stop it but you can continue to make young kids lives more difficult. You are cruel JK, you have started to look cruel in pictures. All this obsession is wearing on your expression. The pictures of you mocking 'trans' people like Winston Churchill after the Supreme Court ruling. Your endless comments about how rich you are. It's depressing and tacky and proves
you are desperate to mean something but sadly you are just being mean.
As my hilarious friend David Hoyle always says. 'Ladies & gentlemen and those of you still deciding. There are two type
of people, nice people and c***s.

(320,656 posts)It's just so weird to me.. how anyone who's intelligent in some areas of life can be Obsessively Mean Spirted as far as Humanity Goes.
Maybe try some Kindness and Compassion Instead Compulsive Hate.

(4,165 posts)She has done so much good with her books. And the sentiments and ideas in the books were solid, humane, inclusive of everything that came before trans. Why did she have to take this on? Her's is the most amazing and wonderful success story I know of and now she has to ruin it. For what?
