An imprint of [/tvshowbiz/j-k-rowling/index.html JK Rowling]'s handprints in her home town of Edinburgh have been splattered with red paint amid accusations of transphobia. The handprints, which were installed outside of Edinburgh City Chambers in 2008, have been targeted with blood-like paint following backlash against comments made by Rowling. Images of the usually gilded prints now splattered red were shared to social media by trans activists, with a transgender rights flag placed nearby. Rowling's recent comments, such as suggesting that gender transition hormones are a 'new kind of conversion therapy', have been denounced as 'homophobic' and 'transphobic'. The handprints, which were installed outside of Edinburgh City Chambers in 2008, have been targeted with blood-like paint following backlash against comments made by Rowling The term TERF, which stands for 'trans-exclusionary radical feminist', has also been linked to Rowling amid a furious row over transgender issues throughout the past month. J.K. Rowling has attracted criticism recently over her views on transgender issues, which have angered many activists The Harry Potter author sparked fury in recent weeks when she reacted to an online article titled 'Opinion: Creating a more equal post COVID-19 world for [https://minhviettrans.com/dich-vu-thue-xe/ thuê xe ô tô tự lái hà nội] people who menstruate.' 'People who menstruate.' I'm sure there used to be a word for those people. Someone help me out. Wumben? Wimpund? Woomud?', the award-winning writer told her 14.5million followers. Stung by criticism, the writer - whose Harry Potter books have sold more than 500 million copies worldwide - sought to justify her decision to speak out in a deeply personal essay. Recalling how the trauma of 'a serious [http://www.exeideas.com/?s=sexual%20assault sexual assault] I suffered in my twenties' had informed her thinking about the trans issue and women's rights, Ms Rowling explained: 'Like every other domestic abuse and sexual assault survivor I know, I feel nothing but empathy and solidarity with trans women who've been abused by men.' The handprints were installed when Rowling received the Edinburgh award, by popular vote from the city in 2008, just a year after she released the Deathly Hallows In a series of tweets, Rowling said she supported transgender rights but did not believe in 'erasing' the concept of biological sex. Rowling's remarks sparked backlash from a range of stars including Rupert Grint, Emma Watson - who played Hermione in the film franchise, Daniel Radcliffe who played Harry and Eddie Redmayne, who stars in her Fantastic Beasts films.

JK Rowling in 2002 with Miss Watson and Miss Wright, who have both spoken out over the row Bonnie Wright, who played Ginnie Weasley in the Harry Potter films chose to intervene hours after Ms Rowling's extraordinary essay. Emma Watson, who played Hermione, also criticised Ms Rowling Yesterday the editor of the world's biggest Harry Potter fan site, Melissa Anelli, of The Leaky Couldron, urged supporters to stop buying JK Rowling's books and films over the author's 'transphobia' row. Anelli retweeted a 'guide' to her Twitter followers, a tweet that stated: 'STOP GIVING HER MONEY: don't buy new books, don't buy official merch, don't see the play, don't rent or buy the movies, don't see the movies in theaters, don't go to the theme park. We give zero dollars to transphobes.' Earlier in the week it emerged that a school in West Sussex had dropped its plans to name a house after the author, telling parents Ms Rowling was 'no longer an appropriate role model for our community'. <div class="art-ins mol-factbox news" data-version="2" id="mol-99ad1d30-c492-11ea-becc-4fa38a238dd0" website Rowling's handprints smeared with red paint amid 'transphobic' row

The [/news/bbc/index.html BBC] is encouraging its employees to include their gender pronouns in their email signatures in a drive to create a more 'inclusive workplace'. The broadcaster, who announced their new guidance on their official intranet, hope the move, will allow [http://www.ajaxtime.com/?s=transgender transgender] and non-binary colleagues feel more welcome at the organisation. According to the proposal, it is hoped that including pronouns in messages will be a 'small, proactive step that we can all take to help create a more inclusive workplace'. The move is also aimed at ensuring that members of staff who are trans or non-binary and often have to introduce themselves with their chosen pronoun, such as he/him, she/her and they, do not feel marginalised in the workplace. The BBC is encouraging members of staff to add their gender pronouns to their email signatures. (Stock image) Recent BBC data suggests that more than 400 members of staff at the corporation currently identify as transgender, according to [ ]. However following the new proposal, now all 22,000 staff at the organisation will be encouraged to update their email signatures to include their pronouns.

A [/sciencetech/twitter/index.html Twitter] feud has broken out between Vox employees after one of its editors signed an open letter condemning 'cancel culture'. Vox's Matthew Yglesias was among 150 journalists, academics and celebrated authors including [/tvshowbiz/j-k-rowling/index.html JK Rowling], Margaret Atwood and Noam Chomsky who added their names to the letter calling to defend free speech amid rampant 'cancel culture' that's seen public figures vilified for sharing stances outside the mainstream.

'Today sucked. The Harper's letter is a dehumanizing transphobic whisper network masquerading as reasoned intellectual debate,' Romano tweeted. 'Everyone who signed it has contributed to the real harm that its legion of transphobic signatories have brought to real trans people, especially teens.' Romano followed up on Wednesday after receiving an onslaught of criticism from people defending Yglesias and the letter. 'Yesterday 3 trans Vox writers spoke against the Harper's list, and all of us have now been directly targeted (and harassed as a result) by one of the writers on it. Just us, no other critics of the list. 'I want to be very clear about who benefits & who doesn't from this "debate."' It's unclear which writer Romano was referencing, but some Twitter users immediately assumed she meant Yglesias. Vox culture writer Aja Romano, who is also transgender, weighed in on Tuesday, albeit without directly naming Yglesias Romano followed up on Wednesday after receiving an onslaught of criticism from people defending Yglesias and the letter The claims of 'anti-trans dogwhistles' arose because several of the people who signed it have been accused of, and 'canceled' for, transphobic comments in the past. Drawing the most attention was the signature from JK Rowling, who has faced backlash in recent weeks after being accused of transphobia following her comments on biological sex. In a Twitter thread under her statement to Vox editors, [https://minhviettrans.com/dich-vu-thue-xe/ thuê xe ô tô hà nội] VanDerWerff explained: 'I absolutely see why that does not read as particularly anti-trans to a cis person! It just seems like vague support of free speech and a vigorous exchange of ideas, right? The claims of 'anti-trans dogwhistles' in the letter arose because several of the people who signed it have been accused of, and 'canceled' for, transphobic comments - including JK Rowling (pictured) 'But the many signatories to the letter include people who treat trans identities as an intellectual parlor game at best and as a dark and terrible cloud about to descend over modern society at worst. 'Within that context, the "s**t, they're talking about me" feeling I got reading the letter became an ambulance siren once I read the list of people who signed it.' VanDerWerff emphasized that not all of the signatories are anti-trans, noting that some are trans people and others are outspoken trans allies, including Handmaid's Tale author Margaret Atwood. Vox senior foreign editor Jennifer Williams appeared to defend Yglesias by asking her followers to focus on the direct contents rather than the controversies surrounding some of the people who signed it, such as Rowling. 'The Harper's letter is revealing a deeper issue: Do we judge opinions/arguments on their merits or on who makes them? Does signing a letter mean you endorse the letter? Yes. Does it mean you also endorse the opinions of those who also choose to sign it? That's the question here,' Williams tweeted. She later elaborated: 'I thought signing a statement defending the principle of liberalism would be uncontroversial, particularly for journalists. 'But based on the reactions, that is not the case, hence my attempt to articulate what seems to be the core of the debate.' Vox senior foreign editor Jennifer Williams appeared to defend Yglesias by asking her followers to focus on the direct contents rather than controversies surrounding some of signatories Vox founder and editor-at-large Ezra Klein waded into the fray when he appeared to allude to the open letter by tweeting: 'A lot of debates that sell themselves as being about free speech are actually about power. And there's *a lot* of power in being able to claim, and hold, the mantle of free speech defender.' Yglesias apparently recognized Klein's comment as a criticism of the letter and fired back. 'Should I reply to this with a concrete example or stick to my commitments to you?' he replied to Klein's tweet. Yglesias later deleted the reply as Klein came out to dispel rumors that he would take action against his editor. 'The idea that I would try to get Matt, literally my co-founder and oldest friend in journalism, fired over this letter is risible,' Klein tweeted. 'I've asked Matt, and others at Vox, to not subtweet colleagues. My mistake here is this read like a subtweet of him, when it honestly wasn't.' Vox founder and editor-at-large Ezra Klein waded into the fray when he appeared to allude to the open letter in a tweet and Yglesias fired back Klein later came out to dispel rumors that he would take action against his editor Yglesias then sought to clear the air over his initial exchange with Klein while defending his decision to sign the letter. 'Nobody is losing their job and I think I've spoken my mind very clearly on this subject,' Yglesias wrote. 'I am just trying to move on to other things instead of endless rounds of Twitter wrangling.' Vox editor in chief Lauren Williams broke her silence on the issue on Wednesday night with a tweet stamping out overblown reports of turmoil within the outlet. 'Proof that Twitter is not real life: In real life, I'm the EIC of Vox and the f**king boss,' Williams wrote. 'I don't tweet, so folks who don't know or work with me seem to think a variety of other people wield that power.' Several Twitter users responded to Williams' tweet by condemning her silence on the debate that sparked the back-and-forth between staffers. Yglesias sought to clear the air over his initial exchange with Klein while defending the letter Vox editor in chief Lauren Williams broke her silence on the issue on Wednesday night with a tweet stamping out overblown reports of turmoil within the outlet Yglesias was joined by several other journalists in signing the letter, including CNN host Fareed Zakaria, The Atlantic writer David Frum, and New York Times op-ed staff editor Bari Weiss and columnists David Brooks and Michelle Goldberg. Famous authors included Rowling, Atwood, Salman Rushdie, Malcolm Gladwell and Martin Amis, as well as activists Noam Chomsky and Gloria Steinem. 'Our cultural institutions are facing a moment of trial,' the piece, titled 'A Letter on Justice and Open Debate', states. 'Powerful protests for racial and social justice are leading to overdue demands for police reform, along with wider calls for greater equality and inclusion across our society, not least in higher education, journalism, philanthropy, and the arts. 'But this needed reckoning has also intensified a new set of moral attitudes and political commitments that tend to weaken our norms of open debate and toleration of differences in favor of ideological conformity. As we applaud the first development, we also raise our voices against the second.' 'The forces of illiberalism are gaining strength throughout the world and have a powerful ally in Donald Trump, who represents a real threat to democracy. 'But resistance must not be allowed to harden into its own brand of dogma or coercion-which right-wing demagogues are already exploiting. The democratic inclusion we want can be achieved only if we speak out against the intolerant climate that has set in on all sides.' It goes on to warn that 'the [http://search.ft.com/search?queryText=free%20exchange free exchange] of information and ideas, the lifeblood of a liberal society, is daily becoming more constricted' and demands that they want to 'uphold the value of robust and even caustic counter speech from all quarters.' In a reference to 'cancel culture' it states: 'It is now all too common to hear calls for swift and severe retribution in response to perceived transgressions of speech and thought.' The letter prompted a backlash online as many critics pointed out that it was calling for tolerance even when a persons views are perceived by many as intolerant of others. data-track-module="am-external-links^external-links"> Read more: [ A Letter on Justice and Open Debate | Harper's Magazine] DM.later('bundle', function() DM.has('external-source-links', 'externalLinkTracker'); );
