I used to think that if you could show someone their ideas are inconsistent, that would lead them to explore and potentially change their views
Then someone taught GCs to use the word "gaslighting" to blame any doubts they feel on the person they're talking to and here we are...

Short thread on tokenizing Jews to dodge criticism.
@jk_rowling
spent much of yesterday arguing that trans people weren't targeted by Nazis. I think it's clear they were but there's a discussion to be had about emerging identities and projecting modern concepts into history.

Rather than having that interesting discussion, Britain's most financially successful living author chose to mock the idea of trans people being victims of Nazi violence. She offered a thread by LGB alliance co-founder, filmmaker and non-jew Malcolm Clark

Anyway after spending her time talking over Jewish groups on the subject of Nazi crimes, she's today retweeted this rather lovely post from Rob Rinder. To me this says "I can't be antisemitic, I have a Jewish friend" this is tokenism and false allyship
