Don't blame us for Rowling. -- nm - ty97 Jun 11, 14:04 17
- I'm just confused by Rowling. -- nm - loosilu Jun 11, 14:08 14
  - I can't quite figure out what she's complaining about. -- (edited) - . Jun 11, 14:44
  - I am too. I had no idea that a trans person was infringing on her rights as a woman. nm - John Murphy Jun 11, 14:09 12
    - That reminds me. If someone is a trans woman, is she bio female, or is she MtF? -- nm - loosilu Jun 11, 14:10 9
      - Hufflepuff. -- nm - Diva Jun 11, 14:48
      - The latter. (The way to remember - women don't like to be referred to as men) -- nm - Roger More Jun 11, 14:11 7
        
        Right - trans women were born with a penis. Trans men - not. -- nm - John Murphy Jun 11, 14:14 6
        
        broadly speaking, you'd probably be correct, but my understanding is that it is considered more correct to say "assigned male (female) at birth" rather than making assumptions about anatomy. -- nm* - znufrii, silly old man Jun 11, 14:16 5
        
        This. If you see "amab" or "afab" now you know what they mean. Basically the person was misgendered at birth. - TWuG Jun 11, 14:23 4
        
        Oh, that's simple then. -- nm - loosilu Jun 11, 14:36
        
        now do "ace" "enby" and "pan". :) -- nm - znufrii, silly old man Jun 11, 14:35 1
        
        Ace = asexual, enby = non-binary, and pan = pansexual -- nm - TWuG Jun 11, 14:41
        
        But now it looks like that acronym will have to be updated. -- nm - Roger More Jun 11, 14:26
    - This isn't her first foray down this road, but it seemed to get more publicity this time. -- nm - ty97 Jun 11, 14:10 1
      - For a professional writer, that was just strange -- nm - loosilu Jun 11, 14:11
- Also - I ain't canceling Harry Potter because the author is an idiot. Just sayin. -- nm - John Murphy Jun 11, 14:06 1
  - There's been a rather heated discussion on my fb feed what with the overlapping of HP fans and trans friends and allies among my friends -- nm - znufrii, silly old man Jun 11, 14:12
