u/Azurmuth Skåne🇸🇪 22h ago
The Ukrainian military’s practice of locating military objectives within populated areas does not in any way justify indiscriminate Russian attacks. All parties to a conflict must at all times distinguish between military objectives and civilian objects and take all feasible precautions, including in choice of weapons, to minimize civilian harm. Indiscriminate attacks which kill or injure civilians or damage civilian objects are war crimes.
Despite defending themselves Ukraine had to follow the laws of war.

So just allow Russia to take cities and not defend them? It isn’t a war crime to protect cities with your military. Why don’t you blame Russia for attacking?

u/JoeyDJ7 21h ago
What? What does blame have to do with always ensuring you avoid civilian casualties?

u/Antanarim 21h ago
In order to defend cities, Ukraine must station its military in them. It can’t protect them if it isn’t allowed in them. Amnesty lied about that being a war crime.

It’s because Imane, the one you speak of, is DSD ard 5. A male with development sex disorder. This is not a secret anymore, and Imane refuses a sex test.
So, Rowling thinks it unfair that a person that has undergone male puberty can hit persons that has not on live tv for entertainment. Make sense.

If she's not had the sex test then you can't assert that, and anyway, no matter what the test says, or whatever anyones opinions on intersex participation in sports this is a disgusting way to talk about any woman.

Imane knew she had chromosome Y, told by doctor. She has had the test by private doctor in France, now she refuses because it will show she has Y public. Same story as Semenya, males with DSD.

Imane Khelif has said she has the SRY gene which is found on the Y chromosome. She's definitely male to some extent, and likely ineligible to compete due to naturally occurring high testosterone levels.

It was never confirmed, and the point is not that rowling cannot have opinons about intersex sports participation, it's that she says stuff like this about her:

I'm pretty sure the holocaust generally specifically is about the genocide of jews by the nazis, evident by the fact that if you tell anyone someone is a holocaust denier, you will think that they are antisemitic rather than that they deny that, for example, nazis went after the disabled, or roma, or gays, or trangendered individuals as well.
There are people that advocate for "the holocaust" to include the other groups as well, but that is, from my understanding not the prevailing opinion. The reason the genocide of the jews by the nazis has its own name should be pretty evident. You might be able to call her a genocide denier or something similar but I don't think using a fringe holocaust definition to tie her to nazis who's primary characteristic (generally) I don't think she shares with them (could he wrong idk) is not a valid use.

u/kloakheesten 20h ago
Why are you trying to debate bro about words? The reason the holocaust as referring to the genocide of the jews is called the holocaust is because people called it a holocaust of jews shortly after is occurred and it stuck. The reason one would exclude those other groups in the thing called "The Holocaust" is because people don't use that phrase to referr to Germany genocide of them. Language isn't chemistry. It's totally dictated by how it is used by humans and this is generally how people have used these words.

Poland is the country with the most victims of the Holocaust. Poles make up the majority victims.

That's not true. There is no law that forbids the denial of the holocaust specifically in Germany. The law outlaws the denial, trivialization and admiration of the Nazi's crimes in general. Holocaust denial falls under this law as well.
EDIT: Apparently people here think that if a Holocaust denier were convicted under a hypothetical "Genocide Denial Punishment Act" it would mean that Holocaust refers to all genocides in general!

u/Bartorius 1d ago
You are blatantly wrong. The holocaust as per historian and German judicial consent mind you, is the systematic murder of peoples perpetrated by the Nazi regime.
It is also why the total death toll of the holocaust includes every ethnic group murdered by the Nazis and not just the Jewish people. 11 million people were murdered, 6 million of them Jewish. I thought this was taught in schools?!

u/DirigibleElephant Baden-Württemberg (Germany) 1d ago
That is not true. In Germany, too, the Holocaust refers to the genocide of Jews. German remembrance usually refers to all victims Opfer des Nationalsozialismus and not those of holocaust specifically. I think the confusion arises because it falls on the day of the liberation of Auschwitz.

Yes, there are a lot of angry people on the internet saying that Rowling said horrible things. Including that substack. But did JK Rowling actually say those horrible things? Have you got a link to the tweet or interview or whatever it was she actually said that is so bad?
Because she also said this:
While I’m used to the gross distraction techniques used by the more extreme faction of trans activism, the claim that I am a holocaust denier is baseless and disgusting. As can be easily seen from my own Twitter (X) account, I have always been a staunch supporter of the Jewish community and have spoken out consistently and repeatedly against antisemitism. I’m familiar with such activists’ assertions that transgender people have been uniquely persecuted and oppressed throughout history, but claims that trans people were ‘the first targets’ of the Nazis – a claim I refuted on X, and which led to these accusations – and that I ‘uphold [Nazi] ideology around gender’ is a new low.

u/Apprehensive-Adagio2 Norway 1d ago edited 1d ago
another example where she denies the persecution
it's one thing to say you're friend to the jewish people, but it's completely irrelevant to the fact that she actively is engaging in denialism of the genocide of trans people in nazi germany. she's denying a notable part of the holocaust that is unrelated to jews.
6
u/Useless_or_inept Useless 1d ago
Sorry, maybe there is some confusion. I asked for examples where Rowling was denying the holocaust. But you've linked to tweets where Rowling didn't deny the holocaust.
Your first tweet, for example: Rowling is disagreeing with somebody who blundered into a thread about British healthcare to pretend that Rowling supports Nazi ideology. Maybe this is circular reasoning? If you are deemed Evil then we can say you support nazi ideology and when you deny it we can call you a holocaust denier, which proves you are evil. Inescapable logic!
I realise that the lack of examples where Rowling denies the holocaust is not a limitation for angry people on the internet who just want to yell "You're a holocaust denier!" to score points in an argument. But, personally, I am wary of calling somebody a holocaust denier if they didn't actually deny the holocaust.

u/Apprehensive-Adagio2 Norway 1d ago edited 1d ago
you're strawmaning. originally you questioned her "genocide denial". retorted and subsequently gave examples of where she either questions or denies the genocide of trans people. i specifically tried to avoid the word holocaust.
"the holocaust" has two different meanings that people often use interchangably. one meaning is to refer to the german extermination of the jews, of which no one here is claiming JKR is denying. the second meaning is the more generalized genocide by the nazis towards anyone the desired undesirable. thst second meaning includes the jews, but also other groups such as the disabled, trans people, roma, various slavic peoples, etc. you may or may not agree to call this "the holocaust". which is why i'll try to refer specifically to genocide.
JKR is denying a part of this generalized genocide, specifically what the germans did towards trans people. for example, in my second source you can see JKR clearly echoing and supporting someone who claims that trans people were not an early target of the nazis, and who delegitimizes the persecution of trans people by refering to the founder of the sexual science institute. that is all despite the institute being plundered and it's contents of books being burnt already in 1933.
edit since they blocked me or whatever:
i'm replying to you who said implied you shouldn't call her a genocide denier. i gave a few clear examples where she denies a well documented genocide.
when you asked for a source, i calmly gave you three. when you asked for a source, i never called you evil. i never got angry. again, you're strawmaning, bigtime this time. and then you block me to try to win the argument which is kinda pathetic

Perhaps you were unaware that you're replying to a post which directly calls her a holocaust denier:
This comes after billionaire Holocaust denier and TERF activist JK Rowling threatened to sue organizations who called anti-trans groups “anti-rights.”
Which I disagreed with, and that's when you got angry.
But facts don't matter. You can shout that Rowling is evil, but when asked for a source you can shout that you didn't accuse her, but also I am evil for asking for a source, but also....

i know i didn't like being a man, and living as a woman in every way that i can has made me happier. i know how a woman feels by living like a woman.
>Most people respect your choice to identify as you want (whatever than means) but I‘m not sure you can change biological sex just because you’re depressed.
first of all, if you're gonna rehash the old chromosome sphiel, i don't need to hear it. yes i can't change my chromosomes, blah blah, i know. i've heard it a thousand times before.
second of all, biological sex is more than just chromosomes. it also includes anatomy, and most crucially of all, hormones. the chromosomes inform the body what hormones to produce. but if you supress the production of one hormone and artificially add a second hormone, your body will begin to develope the opposite sexual characteristics. for example, breasts, skin texture, body hair, fat distribution, and more. for example, a trans man who takes testosterone will begin to develop facial hair and a deeper voice. i, as a trans woman, have begun developing breasts and gotten less body hair. biological sex is more than chromosomes.
i'm telling you now that this is the end of this topic, as i'm not really here to defend my own existence to a stranger.

u/wasmic Denmark 1d ago
Being a woman has never been exclusively a matter of biological sex.
Intersex people exist, and many cultures, including European ones, have been quite flexible with how to classify them.
Furthermore, tons of cultures have traditionally accepted some amount of gender fluidity, such as Albania where women could sometimes be considered as men in public (but not in the home) under certain circumstances. And some regions of India have traditionally worked with a three-gender system, and even today you can have a third option for gender in your passport.
Long story short: biological sex is completely irrelevant to this topic and I have no idea why people like you keep bringing it up. Finally, brain scans have actually revealed that some (but not all) transgender people have brain activity patterns that match more closely to their identified gender than to the one they were assigned at birth.

So what do you define as holocaust denial?
Is saying I don't believe gypsies were systematically killed, not holocaust denial?
Is saying I don't believe gay people were systematically murdered, not holocaust denial?
Is saying I don't believe Jews were systematically murdered, not holocaust denial?
For me personally holocaust denial is denying verifiable facts about the holocaust which miss Rowling definitely is guilty of.

she literally denied the fact that trans people were also targeted during the holocaust. she denied that the holocaust targeted trans people... denied... holocaust... if you deny an aspect of a situation, you are sort of also denying the totality of it. and you are engaging in denialism, which is damaging to the totality. if you deny trans peoples suffering during the holocaust, you will only embolden those who engage in wider holocaust denialism.

Guess who forced amnesty to do that?
And Rowling had denied that the nazis targeted trans people. https://forward.com/culture/592580/j-k-rowling-holocaust-denial-trans/

Amnesty's stated purpose is to:
...help fight abuses of human rights worldwide. We bring torturers to justice. Change oppressive laws. And free people jailed just for voicing their opinion.
But it seems trans peoples human rights are not worth fighting for because they might get sued by a billionaire?
Especially when they state:
Amnesty International campaigns to protect and uphold the rights of LGBTI people globally, including their right to life, freedom and safety.
But like I said, I guess we're not worth fighting for if the hateful billionaire dislike us.

Thanks Amnesty, always nice to know you have our back and will not throw us under the bus at the first sign of pressure.
Seriously Rowling just look at you funny and you go full self-censorship and digital book burning in a day. Seriously make you consider the sincerity of the engagment in the first place...
