Is JK Rowling a bigot?
The dictionary definition of bigot is “a person who is intolerant toward those holding different opinions.”
Yet according to many on social media, someone who tweeted: “Dress however you please. Call yourself whatever you like. Sleep with any consenting adult who’ll have you. Live your best life in peace and security. But force women out of their jobs for stating that sex is real?” is a bigot.
intolerance is now the same as “dress however you please”
intolerance is now the same as “call yourself what you like”
intolerance is now the same as “sleep with any consenting adult who’ll have you”
intolerance is now the same as “live your best life in peace and security”
it is not bigoted to want to question an ideology. It is not bigoted to know that a woman is an adult human female and a man is an adult human male. These are facts we have known for decades. Remember that Galileo was accused of heresy. Words have meanings. It is not bigoted to want to have an open conversation about gender and sex. It is not bigoted to disagree.
