I’m not sure how aliens got capitalized, but that totally changed the meaning inadvertently.

Real pros sleep sitting up with sunglasses on, and learn to reflexively say “amen” the moment someone wakes them up to make it look like they were just praying.

Tbh, I don’t have strong feelings one way or another. I anticipate JK Rowling might dislike gender swapping (and certainly transgender-coding) her characters, and it might also be best if people abandoned interaction with HP entirely. The most important thing is to not support her financially.

She was transphobic to Imane Khelif, who isn’t even trans. She refuses to believe otherwise.

I think part of your trouble might be that you understand “illogical” to mean lacking a logic process entirely when more often it means engaging in a fallacious line of logic.

TransFemLibSoc🏳️‍⚧️🇵🇸🇺🇦 @transfemlibsoc.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

I’m not confused about the meaning of “more probable”. Nobody can say with absolute certainty. But having watched her activities for the last several years, it’s really hard to imagine she’d like gender-swapping of her characters.

Anticipating that someone is going to behave illogically does not mean you can’t reasonably guess in what way they are going to be illogical. Illogical behavior can be very predictable. JK Rowling is already illogical in a consistent way in how she assesses the existence of trans people.

It’s not a hetero narrative. It’s been substantiated ad nauseam. Literal scientific studies support this. It doesn’t excuse anything. It’s no less bad for a truly straight or a closeted individual to be homophobic.

The Streisand effect is definitely a thing. There’s a threshold beyond which something has to be talked about. But a lot of things only get wide reach from the backlash itself.

TransFemLibSoc🏳️‍⚧️🇵🇸🇺🇦 @transfemlibsoc.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

I don’t know what point I didn’t address. You seem to be treating the idea of someone being illogical as the only factor to consider when predicting their behavior. If someone is illogical in a vacuum, then sure, all possibilities are equally probable. I’m drawing from her behavior generally.

We can expect the average Christian to be more susceptible to believing Jesus is coming back than the moon is made out of cheese. With enough material to draw from, we can get a sense of a persons psychological profile and reasonably infer how they’d likely react.

TransFemLibSoc🏳️‍⚧️🇵🇸🇺🇦 @transfemlibsoc.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

I’m not inclined to believe she’s just illogical, full stop. I bet she brushes her teeth with a toothbrush and not crayons. I think it should be obvious to infer from my statement that she isn’t inclined to think logically about this issue specifically.

TransFemLibSoc🏳️‍⚧️🇵🇸🇺🇦 @transfemlibsoc.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

You seem to interpret statements legalistically, where anything not explicated is an opportunity to draw out technical caveats. Do I need to explain to you that her being illogical isn’t a flat attribute that gives equal probability to all illogical outcomes?

TransFemLibSoc🏳️‍⚧️🇵🇸🇺🇦 @transfemlibsoc.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

You’re asking why a line of logic would lead JK Rowling to an illogical conclusion. The answer is she wouldn’t think logically about it. She sees trans people behind every bush. She would absolutely see any gender swap as trans… gressive (laugh at my pun).

It was a joke about the hypocrisy of cis people that included ridicule of the outcome of a procedure performed on a man. Iffy in parts, in terms of the attitude toward men who get the procedure, but way too tangential for me to feel like a target.

little confused as to why hair treatment for men is considered gender affirming care. Both baldness and short hair are associated with masculine expression. How is a man reducing his baldness affirming his gender? At any rate, the target of the joke seems to be the double standard people have, and

So I can’t agree with what seems like an attempt to invalidate this insecurity that a lot of men have. I’m a

I read the whole exchange and tried to lean into both perspectives. My verdict is OP used recycled material and delivered it a little less coherently than others. The emphasis on men’s insecurities being profited off of and then trying to immediately affirm gender affirming care in the next breath

One multistory brick building could have housed all these people more cost effectively and with drastically better energy efficiency. Which would also have allowed plenty of space for a park instead of tiny useless patches of grass between neighbors.

Tiny homes are a very bad way to house people. Multistory brick buildings with many units are much more cost effective and energy efficient.

Shadowrun displays a world radically altered technologically, spiritually, culturally. Humanity split into different races in the literal sense of the word.
