Yet again, the distinction between acting or appearing stereotypically masculine and actually being a man is totally lost on him. It’s like he can’t even consider the possibility of there being any objective criteria for “male” or “female”.
My step daughter is a Lesbian with short hair. She is also very feminine in dress and attitude. Her wife, also short haired, is the opposite tending towards the stereotypical “butch” style of Lesbian. So what? They love and care for each other, and that’s the only bit that matters to me.
JK Rowling’s lunch in London (Sunday, April 10, 2022) — including Kathleen Stock — prompted India Willoughby to tweet similar remarks about photos of some of the women.
From B&W here, I found latsot’s link on The Wayback Machine here, where Willoughby tweeted about a photo of JKR seated at the table with Liane Timmermann of Get The L Out UK:
Here’s JK Rowling meeting fellow members of the GC movement today. Not being funny, but how come I’d be banned because my presence would ‘traumatise’ women – but not the lady on the right?
And Willoughby tweeted the next day about JKR with Angela Wild and Liane here:
I mean, she’s hugging two individuals here who could easily be trans. I don’t get it.
I take Willoughby at his word, that he really doesn’t get it.
When doctors and scientists (or everyday people like you and me for that matter) determine what sex a particular individual is, they base that primarily on the obsevation of their hairstyles, surely. I mean, what planet does this stupid ass live on?
Good luck with that male pattern baldness Jonathan, you clown.
twiliter, that’s why they have to assign instead of determine; a lot of babies are born without enough hair to tell! So how CAN a doctor be sure? Obviously, (s)he’s just guessing, because there is NO OTHER WAY to tell except by hair and clothes – and babies are born naked, too. Bad planning on the part of the evolutionary adaptations. Serious business when you can’t tell male from female, and we’re all just stumped by naked, hairless babies.
Huh. I usually go far too long between haircuts, so my hair becomes long and unruly before I get most of it chopped off. I guess I’m constantly transitioning.
I think this goes hand-in-hand with the argument that it’s inconceivable that a man would dress as a woman to invade women’s spaces. To adopt any aspect of the traditional attire or style associated with the opposite sex, never mind as much as possible, would be so utterly humiliating that only someone experiencing extreme suffering would be willing to do it.

Or maybe also dudes who get a boner from fetishizing imaginary humiliation. Which is such extreme suffering that we must venerate them.
@14 + 13 The good old days. I must have been a girl for about 10 years back in the 60’s and 70’s, but you never would have known it, we just thought it was cool. Eventually I got tired of the maintenance and cut it all off. I’d grow it back but there’s something kind of sad about old guys with gray pony tails — unless you’re Willie Nelson of course.
And if GC lesbians want to break the association between short hair and masculinity?

My brother has long hair; does that mean he’s a woman? Or does the beard cancel it out, so he’s actually gender neutral?
iknklast,
Duh, your sibling is obviously non-binary. Or perhaps Two-Spirit.

Social transition = haircut. Deep.

Well that was a trip down memory lane.
It’s the jealousy of a wannabe: she’s got a real womanhood and she’s not even _using_ it!

Back in the 1960s, some young people in the United States started defying cultural norms. Among other things, the boys let their hair grow long.
People lost their freaking minds over it.
Plus ça change…
Is it time to trans the Beatles then? Or does retrospective reasignment only work on gender non-conforming women?
There’s a theory going around in TRA circles that GC gay, lesbian and bi people are actually “trans”, and hence “self-hating trans people”.
The TRAs really don’t understand how anyone could disagree with them in good faith.

Uh oh.
Don’t listen to him! There isn’t! Unless they’re, you know, the Billy Bragg type.
Kidding guys, hair ain’t a thing for me. Literally. Except maybe in my ears. ;)
tailored: just move to Sebastopol California. Everyone fits that profile in that little enclave of hippie glory!
