After Not Being Able to Find ‘A Single Truly Transphobic Message’ Uttered by J.K. Rowling, Freelance ‘Lesbian Writer’ Endorses Her Instead

I’ve been following this whole “J.K. Rowling’s a transphobe” thing from the beginning, so it’s safe to say I’m a little invested…

This is, by far, my favorite development of this sham character assassination. Buckle up…

From the Daily Wire:

E.J. Rosetta, who describes herself as a “lesbian writer” and has bylines in various LGBT and leftwing publications, was asked to write an article about the famed children’s book author J.K. Rowling’s “transphobic” statements. But after several months of research reading her work, Rosetta came to the realization that she shared Rowling’s position about the importance of protecting women’s sex-based rights and took to Twitter to share her revelation.

“Right, I’m done,” Rosetta’s tweet thread began. “3 months ago, I was tasked with writing an article detailing ’20 Transphobic JK Rowling Quotes We’re Done With.’ After 12 weeks of reading her books, tweets, full essay and finding the context of these ‘quotes’, I’ve not found a single truly transphobic message.”

Rosetta found a new appreciation for Rowling, who she says has been unfairly labeled an “intolerable transphobe” for standing up for women.

“JK saw the loopholes being created and knew that women needed a voice,” said Rosetta. “So instead of sitting back and wishing everyone well, said ‘It’s got to be me, hasn’t it?’ She did something terrifying and amazing and used her voice, I suspect knowing damn well what was to come. That’s bravery.”

Rosetta said that she has been “ignoring frantic phone calls” from her agent “demanding” she take the post down, but she said “no.”

When asked what prevented her from coming to this realization sooner, Rosetta answered that “groupthink” played a role in suppressing her critical faculties.

“Group think, brainwashing and listening unquestioningly to the voices of my LGBT peers over critical thought and doing my own research/thinking,” said Rosetta. “5 years I have spent nodding along while JK was buried, and for that I apologise. I’m glad to report I’m thinking for myself again now.”

“Shame on those who followed that propaganda without critical thought,” said Rosetta. “You’re burning the wrong witch. I stand with JK Rowling.”

Good on you, E.J. Rosetta. Acknowledging that you’ve been swept up in the rip current of groupthink happens a lot less than it should. Doing so from a public position, and against the advice of those around you, is a sign of a strong character driven by deeply held morals. It’s what young girls NEED to see.

I will forever be a strong supporter of doing research on the things that matter to you. I LOVE doing it. To such a degree that my career choice is largely based on it. I should actually be doing some right now…

So… it won’t surprise you to know that it simultaneously breaks my heart and sends me into a flying rage when people form their opinions without doing any.

I mean… you do you and all that, but… what are the cons to sounding knowledgeable and coherent? Especially if people, like pro-transgender activists, for instance, claim to feel so much passion for their cause?

Too much work?

Afraid it’ll burst your bubble of inclusion and leave a boo-boo on your feelings?

Welcome to the real world folks… it sucks.

You’re never going to be able to convince everybody that your way is the right way (or the only way). It’ll only hurt you more in the long run anyhow…

You wanna know what happens when you surround yourself with “yes-men”?

You forget who you are.

How can you be in-touch with yourself if you never question anything? What happens when you move through life when no one challenges you on what you believe? Nothing. Nothing happens.

Growing, especially in an intellectual sense, is an incredibly uncomfortable procedure. Much like it is said that you’re not really trying if you never fail, it’s also true that you’re not really growing if you’re never uncomfortable.

I’ve always believed this assassination of Rowling’s character was uneducatedly swift at best… intentionally dishonest and malicious at worst.

Fighting on behalf of biological women doesn’t make you a transphobe. That is all.
