By their friends ye shall know them
A wee luncheon hosted by Mz Rowling this month is co-incidentally a who's who of GCs in the UK.
So much TERF in this photo Eamon Ryan is thinking of banning digging up more.
Here we have JK blowing that well known transphobic dog whistle that claims it's just a cover for men to abuse women.
Rowling said she was worried that “the new trans activism” was eroding women and girls’ rights to single-sex spaces by “offering cover to predators”.
“I believe my government is playing fast and loose with womens and girls’ safety,” she wrote.
“When you throw open the doors of bathrooms and changing rooms to any man who believes or feels he’s a woman ... then you open the door to any and all men who wish to come inside.”
As if predators need an excuse, or does she think a door will magically stop a man intent on carrying out an assault in a public space?
What has actually happened is butch cis women have been assaulted, threatened by security and generally 'excluded from single-sex' spaces through fear and intimidation.
I am a biological female who identifies as a woman. I am not, for any intents or purposes, transgender. But as a non-gender conforming butch lesbian, I have my own tiny window into our nation’s current political debate about bathrooms—the always looming fear that easily slips into shame, and the occasional outright harassment, all because I have to pee. And that’s from using the bathrooms that I “should” be using according to vicious anti-transgender bills sweeping the nation.

Rowling's transphobic rhetoric is literally feeding anti-butch lesbian homophobia.
A butch lesbian who has been threatened, assaulted and intimidated while using the women’s bathroom is warning of the growing attacks on gender non-conforming people using public toilets.
Eloise Stonborough, 32, who presents as butch – a woman whose gender expression and traits present as typically ‘masculine’ – said she is challenged on using a women’s toilet roughly every one in three times she uses a public facility, with the attacks increasing significantly over the last two years.

Your lack of expertise hasn't prevented you from commenting thus far.
You not only lack expertise of the topic of Mz Bailey, it is abundantly clear you haven't a gendered notion what "lesbian viability" means in the context JKR is promoting it. Or why is is a battle cry of the CG Movement.
You do feel qualified to come into the LGBT forum and lecture people on what is, and is not, transphobia and homophobia despite an obvious lack of expertise in being a victim of either of those.
You don't even appear to have expertise in going beyond the first few entries of a google search.
Taken all of this into consideration what you do have in abundance is brass neck when you accuse others of bias.
This is Allison Bailey - insisting she be allowed to refer to Trans Women as 'Men' during her case against Stonewall. THAT is transphobia.

This popped up in my FB memories from 7 years ago.
How appropriate given the recent upsurge in those who make it clear they don't think LGBT people are like 'them' - who now, thanks to the GC Movement and it's willing homosexual lackies, feel emboldened to spread the hate again.
Such sad, pathetic, hate-filled creatures they are. But do not pity them. Take it from this old Dyke. They are not worthy to be the dirt beneath our sensible shoes, or even the wet wipes we use to remove our glitter.
They fear our fabulous.
Our honesty in living our lives as who we are, not who they think we should be, shines a spotlight on their cowardice.
Highlights their lives of stifling conformity.
They fear to dance while we trip the light fantastic.
They cannot dare to even dream it, while we have the courage to be it.
They will twist words, gaslight us, scream in faux outrage when challenged, roar their battle cry that being called phobic is worse than being phobic. Some will seek our deaths.
All participants in a spectrum of hate.
This is nothing new. For millennia this has been the way.
They won't go away. But neither will we.
We're Here.
We're Queer.
Get used to it.
