We NEED to make them make laws NOT ALLOWING EMOTIONAL MANIPULATION IN THE MEDIA! It makes too many people believe untrue things, band together and hurt people
Or maybe forget the laws and help raise children who respect differing viewpoints and have enough self esteem and self worth to not need to attack others for having differing perspectives. Just a thought.
we need to stop trying to have centralized governments ruling over great masses of people! town by town, borough by borough, village by village, community by community; after we dissolve states, dissolve countries, dissolve cities
I’m not a Harry Potter fan. I’m not a feminist. I’m late to the game. I don’t use Twitter. However, JK Rowling is amazing for standing up for women. I’m so proud that we have her.
I don't know how people can't separate fantasy from reality...it's just a story, just like any other out there. I love Harry Potter, and I respect JK Rowling even more now. ❤
@@thistlesjust because you're incapable of understanding biology and psychology doesn't mean the rest of the world is as unwilling to learn. The consensus among all the people who actually study this is that trans people exist and are valid. Educate yourself.
@@thistles ever opened a biology book? Sex isn't a binary at all and it isn't psychology that states that, it's biology. Want to name a fallacy I committed and an argument for why it is a fallacy? Bet you can't.
People should read the Harry Potter books more than ever, because we live in crazy times, where our freedoms are taken away and people get punished for speaking the truth or their opinion! The Harry Potter books are full of valuable life lessons and love. J.K. Rowling is equally brave as Harry and I love and respect her. She is my hero.
I’ve read all the HP books and liked them but I’m no fan girl. I respect Rowling so much more now for her stance for free speech and women’s rights. I’m disgusted at the non-critical thinkers who are attacking her.
@@Lord-Panda2112maybe because standing on such a platform of power and privilege while belittling the struggles of trans people. She's been through shit in her life and says she would emphasize with trans people, yet she would willingly other them and ostracize them.
@@fopish That makes no sense dude, do you mean sympathise? Have you actually read what she said? She is just saying there are female spaces for a reason. It's a difficult situation with no perfect solution.
It sounds as if the only nation in fear of Harry Potter and witchcraft is the USA...people from all over the world understand it is a children's book. I mean... the name was altered for Americans so that they can understand and pronounce it, lol. My generation grew up with Harry Potter, how come we are not all possessed? 🤔
I appreciate the interview, but don’t quite get the format. I would have much preferred hearing the entire conversation, without all the narration, news clips, book readings. I’m about half way through, and despite her story being compelling, I’m having a hard time sustaining interest due to all the unnecessary interruptions.
AND we help everyone best by understanding people better. J.K. Rowling was abused by her Dad and ex, and she is afraid of men. She is traumatized. Let's focus on helping her see that with kindness (unkind way will just be blocked and make her fight from changing more) we all make mistakes because of fear and trauma, protest with your dollar but speak with compassion. She did do a lot of good, too 💚
I'm so glad we agree! We all need to forgive the imperfect and help heal them, that leads to fulfilling every need, even helping them change for the better when they're ready
She is a good example why women need safe spaces for themselves and protective areas in society just for women/girls. Women fought hundreds of years for their rights an now we see their rights crumbeling down again very fast by woke agenda and a group of people who are egotistical and absolutely ignorant for the strughles, pain and existing issues of girlhood and womenhood! Joe is standing up for all the girls and women in society - and I am so thankful for her.
@contrapoints does an excellent video debunking this. Joanne is contributing very negatively to an already vulnerable group through ignorance and fear and is happy to latch on to very unsavoury movements to justify her beliefs.
What about the vulnerable group of women and girls, who make half of society? This is riduculous! Trans people can have all the freedoms they want as lknh as they will not step on or even take freedoms of women and girls away! The should be sensitive and emphatic to the needs of women and girls and not just see their own needs and feelings. It's not ok to erase woman's existance from language or take away our safe spaces for a tiny little minority who cares only about themselves.
Absolutely thrilled that the Contrapoints video explaining why this interview is garbage and debunking all of JK Rowling's talking points is almost at 5 million views, while this sits at a measly 15 K. It may not exist yet in society, but sanity does still prevail in some corners of the internet.
So thinking that gender isn't real is sanity? LOL. What else is sanity to you? Demonic possession? Reincarnation? Devil worship? Astral projection? Teleportation? Communication with aliens? Flat earth? I guess when the truth is so painful, you have to constantly engage in denial, self-delusion, and selective perception in order to cope with life. Good luck.
You clearly haven't listened to this podcast, and are just repeating garbage you've read on the Internet somewhere. And views doesn't say anything about quality or truthfulness, the Internet should have learned you by now. Rowling is a hero for telling the truth. And you can't handle the truth.
@@MazeCoolGamer I literally went searching for the podcast, to listen to it. Hence, I'm commenting on the video. You however obviously haven't watched the Contrapoints video, in which she destroys every point that Rowling makes on this podcast. . Don't bother searching for it though. People like you clearly cannot handle having their worldview challenged. There is nothing Rowling has said that is different from standard issue, Western worldview, binary view of gender. She's SUCH A HERO for defending the status quo. Seriously, where do people like you even get such am exaggerated sense of your self?
@@KayaKoc so may I ask you what it is that jkr says in this podcast that you disagree with? Genuinely curious what your opinion is, and what it is that you can’t tolerate regardless of hearing her lived experiences.
IMPORTANT NOTE BEFORE SOME OF Y'ALL GET RILED UP: I did NOT post this whole podcast as a big red flag that I SUPPORT J.K. Rowling 100%. This is just simply out here publicly to see any mixed reactions how y'all feel about this whole situation. I hope this clarifies things and I welcome any constructive criticism.
The season is actually 7 episodes long. One must listen to it all, I think, to feel more balance. I listened to it as a podcast without advertising interruptions.
@jennysteves7226 its not balanced, it's clear she's trying to make a point that J.K.Rowling is somehow a victim here, it's in the title. I didn't find it to be enlightening, I found it to biased.
@@JoseGarcia-jl2zqI do wish there had been more episodes, a second season maybe, with more interviews with people like Noah and Natalie who were willing to so clearly, honestly and intelligently voice their concerns without bashing. Best of all would have been a conversation between Jo Rowling and Natalie. Or Jo Rowling and Noah. Or both. I feel certain better understanding and maybe an apology and some healing might have been the result. I hope these three were able to connect privately. Personally I wish Jo Rowling had never tweeted. A longer form communication of her fears - it is all about fear - would have been far better. Your comment about Jo Rowling being portrayed as a victim makes sense to me, though. I see it. You are right. And yet .. so were some of the tweet etc reactions to her two tweets. Victimhood is an easy card to play, unfortunately. I loved this podcast because I found it to be a beautiful attempt at nuanced, thoughtful conversation. We are so in need of that now. It’s not perfect but it’s how we must begin.
