| Rowling with Harry Potter cast. They turned on her because of her stance on neo-sexualism |
The controversy over comments made by J.K Rowling regarding transgenders has reached a point of absurdity. The neo-sexual community in their quest for universal acceptance of their beliefs has now entered into full heterophobic mode.
People can declare themselves to be any sex they choose, fine - do it. The problem lies in the fact that men are now defining who a woman is. And women are letting them get away with it. How can women, and the women's movement, let men define who they are?
When Rowling questioned the phrase 'people who menstruate' and further, 'if sexual orientation isn't real, there's no same-sex attraction. If sex isn't real, the lived reality of women globally is erased", the neo-sexualists went off the rails, as did many of the Hollywood glitterati.
Threading the fine line between sexes is difficult. Purport to be what you want but don't try to control the process of acceptance by labeling others homophobes or transphobes because they don't agree that men can give birth or menstruate.
Men defining who a woman is goes beyond chauvinism or misogyny, in fact, those words lose their meaning under the neo-sexual community.
Let's move on. Be whatever you want but don't expect universal attention or gratitude from others.
