"The UK’s first transgender national news anchor has reported 'Harry Potter' author JK Rowling to the police for 'misgendering' her as a 'man' on social media."

"India Willoughby, 58, reported having 'contacted Northumbria Constabulary' over a series of X posts Sunday by the outspoken author. Rowling, also 58, called Willoughby 'just a man reveling in his misogynistic performance of what he thinks "woman" means: narcissistic, shallow and exhibitionist.'... 'I’m legally a woman, she knows I’m a woman, and she calls me a man. It’s a protected characteristic and that is a breach of both the Equalities Act and the Gender Recognition Act...' Willoughby wrote."

The New York Post reports.

Trans/science or trans/social?

The insane brit-left doing this is a little taste of where the American white left would like to take us.

Speech crimes and mind crimes - until gulags come back.

It's forced pretending that makes every news account unintelligible. You absolutely have to reverse all the pronouns in the story in order for it to make sense.

Man pretending to be a woman makes sense. Man who actually is a woman doesn't.

"I'm legally a woman"

Cue the old Lincoln story on number of legs on a horse. "Calling a tail a leg doesn't make it a leg."

The Vault Dweller said...

Cue some of the far worse things to come when untruths become unchallengeable. People naturally want to rebel and speak out against things that are untrue. Because these things are untrue the only tools available to compel people to not speak out against them are intimidation and punishment.

Misgendering: masculine or feminine? sex-correlated attributes (e.g. sexual orientation).

Missexing: male or female? binary sex.

Trans- state or process of divergence

Trans/social (e.g. a man in a women's dress)

Psycho-atric dilemma

With no First Amendment rights there, one wonders how this will turn out? I get a E Jean Carrol vibe off that litigant person.

First thought crime.

Orwell would be proud.

mccullough said...

If the anchor claims to be female then isn’t using “transgender” to describe the anchor “misgendering”?

BarrySanders20 said...

There he goes transplaining again. Oh, the condescension!

Breezy said...

Such a bizarre state we’re in where the person who is technically misgendering themselves is allowed to accuse another of misgendering them. In fact the accused is the one stating the true gender.

Go ahead and be you, but don’t try to put realists in jail for not conforming to your fantasy. It’s immoral.

Hopefully she wont be executed. Seriously, my respect for the UK Government cant be any lower. Just remember this is a Tory Government. Imagine if Labour was in power!

He's misgendering girls whose gender is their sex-correlated attributes by Nature, not surgical, medical, grooming, or psychiatric corruption... or shopping in the women's department.

"India didn't become a woman. India is cosplaying a misogynistic male fantasy of what a woman is." - JK Rowling

You can now call the cops on someone for speaking the truth.

Go check out India Willoughby and tell me this person is not mentally ill.

Gender appropriation with a sexist progression.

That statement came after a report that the nation’s Labour Party would make deliberately calling someone by the wrong gender a hate crime punishable by imprisonment.

Weird for an alleged journalist to call the police and report a crime that isn't a crime yet.

Icepilot said...

Let's follow the science of biological sex: Homo Sapiens are mammals.
Mammals are dimorphic, meaning the sex of offspring come in 2 forms, called male or female. Male means XY chromosomes in every cell of his body, female means XX chromosomes in every cell of her body (with a very small percentage of aberrations because biological processes are not perfect).|
There is no "spectrum" of chromosomes.

I'd like to look back on all the enlightened people who assured everyone this kind of wrong-think persecution would never go so far as this.

It seems Britain has always had a soft spot for out and proud homosexuals, but I fear that, if this "bitch" gets his way, Old Blighty is completely gone, and for good.

JK Rowling is the splitting wedge in the gaping axe wound of trans-visibility.

So it is suing JK Rowling for not pretending India is a man?

Calling someone a man is actionable?

"India" is a mentally ill man cosplaying as a woman, lashing out at the normal people who refuse to participate in their lie.

They said that People of Brown would never displace People of Black. They lied.

They threatened that People of Male would never displace People of Female. They lied.

How do you like them bennies? Progress.

"I’m legally a woman..."

That has a familiar ring, much like I am legally an Aryan.

Rowling is being persecuted for expressing an opinion, a gross violation of her rights as an Englishwoman. She must either fold like Winston Smith and kiss the boot that stamps on her face, or endure Room 101. However, unlike Smith, Rowling could apply for asylum in the United States, unlike all those so-called asylum seekers who have flooded over our borders without bothering to actually seek asylum. Biden's State Department will either deny her request outright or sit on it until she is jailed or forced to recant her crimes to the British Thought Police. But it will illustrate the complete hypocrisy of Biden's immigration policies.

If she can hold out, Trump will grant Rowling asylum, much to the delicious embarrassment of woke bureaucracy everywhere. Picture it -- Trump the Abhored comes to the defense of conscience and free expression by protecting the rights and liberties of a writer who has never written a kind word about the man or his presidency

JAORE said...

If it gets bad enough in England I'd invite Ms. Rowling to come to America.

Sure we're on the same, downward, glide path as England. But, so far, the angle of decent is shallower.

And bring those sweet, taxable billions with you. Starve the old beast, feed the new but at less onerous rates (today).

Leland said...

So not the first woman news anchor then?

Clyde said...

How Orwellian. Report to Room 101 at the Ministry of Love, Comrade Rowling.

Dude, you are still a dude, you just pretend to be a woman. We can say that in the US, at least for the moment.

Here's hoping JK next calls him a cunt.

"I’m legally a woman..."

"Abraham Lincoln once asked an audience how many legs a dog has if you count the tail as a leg. When they answered 'five,' Lincoln told them that the answer was four. The fact that you called the tail a leg did not make it a leg."

No wonder the New Soviet Democraticals want to tear down Lincoln statues.

The UK is a toilet bowl now... A very unkempt one.

Freedom of speech is gone there... First the 'Official Secrets act', then later restrictions on what you own and what you can carry. Now they have the thought police.

Y'all are acting like this hasn't already happened here.

Now, what is the proper reaction when a man pretending to be a woman enters or attempts to enter a woman's restroom? Can't call the cops. They're forced to be on the imposter's side. To be totally honest I'm okay with a severe beating if it's a place catering to normies. If it's in a place catering to the mentally ill and you're a normie, well, leave it alone. And go somewhere else.

Skeptical Voter said...

I dunno. I believe in see a geek say a geek. But then I'm not in England so that's not necessarily legally punishable wrong think. Of course there's the scene in the Godfather where Fredo says "I'm smart. I really am. I can do things." And this guy says he's a woman. Fredo redux.

"Those Who Can Make You Believe Absurdities Can Make You Commit Atrocities."

May have been first said by Voltaire, definitely described by Orwell, and being perfected throughout the Anglosphere as we speak.

These self-important crybaby tyrants are accomplishing nothing but building hatred toward themselves and others who may only be loosely associated with transmania. This will include gay men and lesbians who don't share the blame but will get dragged into it anyway. Narcissisms has never been a respected personality trait for a reason. It sucks the joy out of life for everyone around you.

bagoh20 said...

The 2020s = The lying 20's. Nothing is true. Nothing is fair. Nothing is just. Nothing will be missed.

I'll probably be gone before the cleansing, but what a shitty decade to end a wonderful life of freedom, discovery, gratitude, and joy.

How's that back to normalcy going?

Laws that impose mentally ill people’s delusions on others are unjust laws.

Big Mike said...

A few years ago I met someone who insisted that it was our duty to help people like Willoughby have her long-overdue first period by hacking off her (presumably) hated penis and unneeded scrotum with a sharp Bowie knife. That individual had a point, and not just on the top of his Bowie knife.

To coin a phrase, c’mon man! Has Willoughby ever had a period? Much less a painful one? Has “she” ever lost sleep over a late one? And that’s just periods, which is only part of what makes up the life experiences of a human born with XX chromosomes.

As I’ve written before, the best that any biological male can achieve — as Rowling points out — is his impression of what it’s like to be a woman. Even the most honest and empathetic can never truly know what womanhood is all about.

Rowling needs to tell him he needs a good sharp kick in the C*nt.

I'll bet it is fun to work with...

Yesterday I went outside to get a package the FedEx driver just delivered. The driver's back was to me - short hair, kind of stocky, I said, "Thanks, Amigo!" The driver turned around, and then I said, "Oops, thanks, Amiga!" And she smiled and said, "No problem, you're welcome!"

I guess in England or Canada I'd be in jail right now.

There's no 1st amendment right to free speech in the UK. The Gov't can and will determine what anyone is allowed to say.

mikee said...

I am unmoved by the plight of trans activists being offended by deadnaming or pronouns, in part because the first transsexual I knew was a friend from high school who was gay. He became a female impersonator & stripper in 1977 in North Carolina. He had to use his stiletto heels more than once to dissuade redneck gaybashers from beating him to death, an odd sport of some backwards male youth at the time. I'd tell the offended judge to grow a pair, but I doubt the suggestion would be well received.
