Contrapoints takes a deep dive into J.K. Rowling's anti-trans bigotry

Except in both the Contrapoints video and in the Jessie Gender video, they condemn people who attacked Rowlings. They do not condone it remotely. They are not excusing people who attacked Rowlings on twitter, even while they gave a reason why that happened (because an extremely powerful culture figure is using her platform to punch down). they also note that Rowlings is NOT the victim of oppression because of that.

None of which they or anyone here has argued.

Do you think that the people here, especially the transfolk here are just out to get zingers against you, rather than insisting on their humanity being respected? if you think that’s the case then you really have no paid much attention to the community here, which regularly push back against unwarrented attacks that are racial, gendered, etc, etc.

This isn’t a game to lots of us here. At all. It’s real fucking life. There are people here who have had to real life consequences of anti-trans speech.

Also. this.

And THIS!!!
