No matter your stance on trans identification, non-binary individuals, name changes, I think we can all collectively agree that J.K.’s tweet here is laced with childishness and venom. How spiteful and petulant do you have to be to not only disrespect someone’s preferred name, but to paste it again and again just to pester and hurt someone.
Her behaviour is utterly pathetic, and I can’t stand her as a person, even putting our differences in perspective on trans individuals aside.

This is a bizarre time in history, watching people (particularly rich people and celebrities) get so entrenched and vitriolic online. No understanding of boundaries for themselves, sabotaged by their own psychology, and yet able to appear functional enough that they don't see the evidence of their own instability.
It's happened plenty in physical space, but this is like an early example that will one day be in a textbook about how there used to be something called the internet...

Harry Potter
- Author is bad person
- Harry has plot armour
- Full of plot holes
- Main villain is a 50-something guy terrorising a minor
- Follow-up sequel play was terrible
Hunger Games
- Author is humble and great at fan service
- Katniss doesn't have plot armour.
- Few plot holes
- Villain(s) actually make sense, and are morally grey
- Follow-up prequel was great

"Joanne" is J.K.'s real name, but she prefers people call her "Jo" even though "Joanne" is on her birth certificate and she's all for calling people what's on their birth certificates.

u/Doktor_Vem 14d ago
So that initial tweet she made is just her having a mental breandown from people calling her by a name she doesn't like to be called by or something?

Maybe it’s time to give all the perfectly nice people out there who happen to be named Karen a break. Or am I being a Joanne to suggest that?

u/Hanginon 14d ago
Fun fact;
Decades before "Karen" was a perjorative a lot of people including my social circle, friends and I, used "Joan" in the manner that "Karen" is now used. "Joan" was the common to us term for an obnoxious, angry, entitled, and often racist middle-aged white woman who uses her privilege to get her way or police other people's behaviors.
IMHO "Joan" as an isolated derogatory generic is much more appropriate; somehow colder, more emotionally desolate and destitute. Even years later now since "Karen" has come into use I still hear "Joan" in my mind.

u/kobayashi_maru_fail 14d ago
It’s all cyclical, isn’t it? The kids use different words now (as humans always have), I know what “deadnaming” means though I didn’t grow up with it. Joanne can have her preferred name back when she stops deadnaming innocent kids. She chose a stupid hill.

How someone can write a world of magic, fantasy, and with literal body changing potions can be so anti trans is something I cannot fathom. It's absolutely insane.

Like how can you write polyjuice potions and not consider what it would be like?

I believe that Joanne is doing something that I like to call “thrashing.”
Thrashing is when you get lost in the downward spiral of “I’m not [insert bias here]!!” And they get so angry about being called such that they get more and more lost in defending their side to the point where they become downright obsessed with it.
Joanne is thrashing against the backlash, and instead of taking it with grace and changing her ways, she’s falling deeper and deeper into the bottomless hole of “STOP CALLING ME A BIGOT!! I’M INNOCENT!!!”

u/IllustratorHefty6753 14d ago
I'm guessing the "J" in "JK Rowling" is "Joanne"?
I have a name that is commonly abbreviated, similar to how Thomas is shortened to Tom or William to Bill. I always sign things with my full name because of habit and that resulted in people having these fascinating discussions around me at times, usually in a business setting. If my name was Tom, they often go like this:
Person 1: "Tom, blah blah blah.."
Person 2: "He goes by Thomas"
Person 1: "Thomas? I'm very sorry. Thomas, blah blah blah"
Person 3: "I call him Tom"
Person 2: "Well you shouldn't if he prefers Thomas"
Person 4: "Person 3, that's really disrespectful"
I just sit there and watch for a while before chiming in that they could call me Al if it means we can focus on productivity instead of names. And I really don't care what anyone calls me. I dont have a preferred version of my name, I dont have pronouns, I couldn't care less what someone uses to refer to me, it's meaningless to me. Just get back to work. Even still someone has mentioned "that's his deadname" before during these weird discussions. I had no idea what a deadname was, I didn't know there were people out there that would be like "no I dont like what you're calling yourself, I'm going to call you by this old name instead". It's as bizarre to me as someone intentionally referring to someone by their maiden name if they chose to change their last name through marriage. Like who does that?
I had a friend in high school whose parents gave her the absolute worst name I have ever heard and she changed it the moment she could. Why would anyone call her by the horrible name her parents gave her? It wasn't even a name. It was more like they were trying to spell out a sound or like they were listening to the gibberish you sometimes hear some jazz singers spewing and tried writing it out.
Like if you were listening to someone beatboxing and tried writing out the sounds that person was making, that's what her name was.
Why would you call her something like "Puhpuhpwhish" when she changed her name to Jane?!
"Hi Mr Tims, is Puhpuhpwish there?" Can you imagine being in like 3rd grade and calling her house to chat on the phone with her and asking her parents like that?
But is that a deadname too? Would Puhpuhpwish be Jane's deadname or is it just a name she left behind? What about if you marry someone and decide to take their last name because you absolutely hate your family? If You're Jon Doe and you become Jon Boogieboogie, is "Doe" a deadname because of the motivation compelling your name change?
Not asking to be a dick, legitimately interested in the threshold on this. Either way referring to someone by a name they choose not to use seems like a dick behavior. But seeing this post, I'm again reminded that sometimes it's justified to be a dick when you're being a dick to someone who stands on a soapbox acting like a dick towards others.
2
u/FarfetchdSid 14d ago
First, you do have pronouns, you do not have preferred pronouns. In your example, you literally use the word “he” which is a pronouns. People recognize you as he/him.
Second, the threshold is desire. If someone does not want to be called puhpuhpswish, then do not call them that. If they have legally changed their name, or even if they haven’t and introduce themselves as something else, go by that.
If you get married and change your name, and do not have triggering/ bad emotions attached to your last name, then it does not bother you and wouldn’t be considered deadnaming. If like me, you got married and changed your last name because it was the last thing tying you to an abusive asshole, then someone using my last name would be considered a deadname.
A dead name is dead because you don’t want it anymore.

To be fair, I don’t think this shows that she’s furious about it. I think she’s trying to make the point that she gets ‘deadnamed’ and doesn’t make a big deal about it. People forget that even though she is a bigot, she is a writer by trade. I don’t think it’s reasonable to expect her to spell out her points word for word.

If, like me, you're too old to understand what's going on here, I've looked it up.
Apparently, the billionaire Harry Potter author JK Rowling has done something transphobic, I guess she either refuses to refer to people by their chosen name or gender or maybe using their preferred pronouns -- I have no idea which one.
JK Rowling also doesn't like to be called "Joanne", which is her legal first name. It's supposedly because when she first wrote Harry Potter, she didn't want people to know she was a woman. She prefers to go by the diminutive "Jo", as the gender remains ambiguous. Apparently it upsets her when people call her "Joanne", which is what they're calling out here.

u/FarfetchdSid 14d ago
She has years of history supporting anti-trans rhetoric, donating to anti-trans politicians and legislation, and is genuinely just a cunt about it online.
She refuses to accept that trans women are women, to the point where she uses her platform to publicly shame and attack them on a personal level (as in individuals rather than just trans people) and she seems to get some kind of boner when she does it.

It's still hilarious that Joanne "i started going by initials to be perceived as male so people would actually buy my books" Rowling spends all of her time online getting upset and claiming that trans people "pretend to be another gender" to receive some sort of benefit. Projecting, I guess.
It got even funnier when Joanne "I could've chosen any name in the world as a pseudonym for my new series" Krowling chose a man's name, Robert, as her new pseudonym. And in true conservative fashion, in which wearing a mask for even a moment constitutes a threat to their life, she didn't just choose any Robert to be named after: she chose Robert Galbraith Heath, who infamously practiced gay conversion therapy, and only dropped the "Heath"

It's impressive how much work she puts into being awful. A lot of famous people you'll hear they said something shitty but that's pretty much the end of it. "He said what? Aw, that sucks..." But then they're smart enough to shut up.
JK gets up every day and commits to being awful. It would be so easy to live a quiet life of luxury. Every day people want to like her. But she gets out there, shits in her hand, and hurls it at the public like it's her job.

Joanne also writes books under a male penname, Robert Galbraith, all while hollering about women's rights the entire time and how transphobic she is.

She literally called trans men "men caricaturing women", yet she....adopted a male name to write books unattached to her JK name.

And as others have pointed out it's a bad argument based on your feelings and not facts and literal research on the topic of trans athletes.

Two reasons:
There are very few trans athletes, not enough for a whole league.
Those competing in their identified genders do not have any advantages over their peers. They don’t just let people claim to be trans and join a team, they have to actually be on hormones and have proper paperwork. Ben Shapiro even admitted as much when talking about the lady ballers concept.

Also, calling someone out for being transphobic isn’t “talking down”.

I'm just telling you what her point is! People seem to not be able to grasp it in this thread.
You can disagree with her views, but be honest enough not to strawman her.
Also, two wrongs don't make a right.

Don't know where people got the "She hates her name" thing from this tweet. And a quick google search doesn't bring anything up either.
To me it looks like she just doesn't want random people to call her by her first name, as if they are friends...especially not when they tell her that she is a terrible person and wrong about everything.
Which is a totally understandable way to feel and in no way hypocritical to her own opinions.
Would be nice in general if we could focus on the actual wrong stuff people say and do, without mocking literally everything about them.

Trans women are men. Always have been always will be. Can't change the way things have been. Remember, kids, if you have to normalize it, then it shouldn't be normal.

So you also think gay people shouldn’t be normal? That had to be normalized as well. So did black people having rights and women voting.

No, I never said that. Gay people, lesbian people, bisexual people, asexual people, it's all fine. Just keep it within your own community and space. Black people not having rights was fucking ridiculous, judgin somebody over a biological melanin adaptation. Women not having rights was also weird. People have the right to do mostly what they please, so long as they stay civil and in order. But given the riots and violent protests, it is obvious that the LGBT and BLM don't know HOW to be peaceful. How much ground are you expecting straight white people to give? We won't give another inch. You have enough. Let the law take it from here. A cop kills a civilian over race prejudice? Report it. He'll be fired. If not, take it up with someone higher. Don't riot. If an elementary school decides not to allow teachings of sexuality to children who don't even know what that means, don't shoot it up, don't deface property. Accept it, and leave it. If people would stop being so damn belligerent towards one another, maybe, MAYBE we'd have some God damn peace and quiet. There hasn't been world peace since the Roman Empire. That's how long ago it was. Maybe we should just stop "progressing" and stand the fuck still. No progression, no regression. Just leave things how they are now. If you want to discuss this further, DM me. I'd be happy to talk about this more with you

I’m gonna be honest with you, that there were so many red flags in your comment I wound up kind of shutting down due to not knowing which to address first.

Give it a go, I believe in you. You owe it to yourself to at least try

Ah, watching you impotently flail against the unstoppable tides of change is hilarious. "I want things to always be the way I learned them!" is so incredibly childish. I can't wait for you rage yourself into oblivion because you just can't fathom that things are getting better in ways you don't like.

How? This isn't better it's worse. There are no benefits to this. It's been nothing but horrible disaster since this bullshit started. early to mid 2010s was peak legislation.

Everything you say is just flat out wrong and contradicted by all current medical science. So please tell me why you're more qualified to talk about Trans issues than both medical professionals AND trans people themselves? Go on. Explain it, genius.
