A week ago, multiple GC accounts were demanding that all trans people/allies condemn the threat made against Rowling by an anonymous Nazi account that acted more like a bad parody of a queer person than an actual member of the community. https://t.co/NepHuI2JcY

CW: suicide

Are they instead condemning his tweets telling trans people to kill themselves? Or his tweets that the shockingly high trans suicide rate is “funny”?

No. pic.twitter.com/lGyVWFfG1h

And it’d be *super* embarrassing and hypocritical if they were on record demanding everyone condemn the trans community for the threats a probably-not-even-trans Nazi made against @jk_rowling.

But it’s not like they’re defending the guy himself, right?

Of course they are.

Supporting the tweet’s trans/homophobia. Ignoring his violence & abuse. He’s just a poor gay man who objects to being called “queer” (a word no one has called him, but which others call themselves). pic.twitter.com/KuuSZMz4Gm

Meanwhile, no major GC person has condemned this guy. Many of them will have previously liked/retweeted his content - as we know Duffield and LGB Alliance did.

Most are supporting Duffield while pretending he does not exist.

But - setting aside the godawful human being who wrote the tweet - the sentiment that Rosie Duffield likes (and all the mainstream GCs evidently support) was itself deeply worthy of condemnation.

It’s a direct denial that trans identities are real. Transphobia at its purest. pic.twitter.com/OO5JNQI86h

So never again can anyone claim that @RosieDuffield1 & @jk_rowling are not bigoted transphobes.

They have both endorsed the lie that trans identities are not real; that a significant portion (if not all) trans people are lying about who they are.

If that isn’t hate, what is? https://t.co/ISNvegpV4e
