So, lemme get this straight JK, I can't be a woman despite intense dysphoria that didn't go away until I pumped my body full of hormones and literally inverted the look and function of one of my major organs... But you can be black, because you watched Sanford & Son that one time?

Mmhmm, mmhmm.....

Are you fucking stupid?

OK. I hate to "defend" a terf but I don't think that's her point. JK doesn't want to be black. She doesn't think she should be allowed to change her race and she knows that most people agree with that. She thinks it's an uno reverse card to go "ha! so how come you're allowed to change your gender then?" as if race and gender are the exact same thing.

Anyways, congrats on your transition Queen.

Reposting this from one of last times she did something insanely TERF-y. (2 months ago) It really feels like she's desperately trying to convince herself.

It's sad that she's likely repressing a LOT of gender dysphoria, but just doubles down on the bigotry and hate. Fuck JK Umbridge.

All direct quotes:

I believe I could have been persuaded to turn myself into the son my father had openly said he’d have preferred.

As I didn’t have a realistic possibility of becoming a man back in the 1980s, it had to be books and music that got me through.

I remember how mentally sexless I felt in youth.

Fortunately for me, I found my own sense of otherness, and my ambivalence about being a woman...

It's the same as the plot to that one South Park episode.

It's a common false equivalence for transphobes and I guess she thinks she's being terribly original and clever.
