Brendan O'Neill: JK Rowling and the tyranny of preferred pronouns
Labels: Brendan O'Neill, JK Rowling, MisgenderingIt is not ‘misgendering’ to call a man a man – it’s the truth.
It’s 2024 and black women are still being publicly shamed for failing to kowtow to white men. The black woman in question is Winsome Earle-Sears, the Republican lieutenant-governor of Virginia. Last week she found herself in the eye of a shitstorm after committing the most heinous speechcrime of our times: she referred to a ‘transwoman’ (ie, a man) as ‘sir’. It was Danica Roem, a Democratic Virginia senator. He’s a man who identifies as a woman. In a debate in Virginia’s General Assembly he asked Earle-Sears how many votes would be needed to pass a bill. ‘Yes, sir, that would be 32’, came her blasphemous reply. Sir? Ready the stake.
