‘People who menstruate.’ I’m sure there used to be a word for those people. Someone help me out. Wumben? Wimpund? Woomud?




She was responding to this article, which uses term “people who menstruate” instead of women to not offend trans women

Our world is fricked.

But good to see Rowling start to see the light

She’s a known hypocrite. She criticized Trump’s stance on the border wall and bashed nations for not welcoming middle eastern hordes, yet when she was told that she should practice what she preaches and invite middle eastern “refugees” to live in her gated community she declined to do so.

I think an easy solution to the border issue is to force anyone who supports illegals/amnesty, etc be required to host an immigrant family in their home for an extended period of time.

See how badly they support it then.

People are finally starting to see there is no end to this madness, it will just eventually devolve into socialism and loss of our god given rights

We may not know what to call the menstruaters, but it's clear "Black" is the preferred term over African-American so we have that going for us.

It also clears up that secondary confusion on what box to select for white Africans that immigrate from an African country to the US.

Apparently Jo can’t just wave a magic wand and fix things unless it is by sending owls carrying cash.

Saw a commercial recently for AIDS drug that stated it does not work if you were assigned a female at birth, or something along those lines.

Hopefully she doesn’t apologize. She’s literally the most famous author alive. What are they gonna do to her?

This is the end of woke culture. You turn into a brutal dictatorship that flogs anyone who remotely disagrees with you. You can never be good enough for the Woke. With this bullshite, I don’t see how Trump loses in November.

To be fair to JKR, she didn’t apologize to the SJWs over saying that trans people shouldn’t compete with biological women in sports, so I doubt she will here.

WUT

First of all, lots of women do not menstruate. If we are being technical.

That’s interesting. Can you provide anything supporting it?
