Bad things can happen to bad people. She's still trash. I'm so glad I never got into Harry Potter.

Yeah, intolerance is an ugly thing (and it isn't JK Rowling that is being intolerant).

I don't wish bad things on intolerant assholes, though.  I leave the assholiness to them.
The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.   -G'Kar

Watching the Twitter Left is like watching the abused become the abuser.

I'm just getting a sick kick out of people with Harry Potter tattoos freaking out. Mainly because fad tattoos are annoying
Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.

Eh, she retweeted and posted crappy shit and is being called out on it. Doesn't matter if she was abused or not, she's not immune to criticism because of it.

What was the crappiest shit she retweeted and posted?
Women want me. Men want to be with me.

I didn't phrase this very well. What I'm interested in is some examples of the crappy shit she retweeted or posted, so I can form some kind of opinion myself.

From what I saw in her essay (and what she posted on twitter), she claims she is a trans ally but then parrots all of the standard scaremongering lines that are used by people who are anti-trans.
"I've never been quite sure what the point of a eunuch is, if truth be told. It seems to me they're only men with the useful bits cut off."

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

I was having a stab at Solmyr for usually being such a hardcore woke person. :P Not all threads are self-contained little universes, people.
