  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

JK Rowling slams Emma Watson for 'trashing' women's rights in favor of gender-confused men: 'She's ignorant'

Author J.K. Rowling publicly rebuked actress Emma Watson for advocating for allowing trans-identifying men in women’s shelters, prisons and bathrooms, accusing Watson of ignorance for failing to see how eroding all-female spaces puts women and girls in harm's way.

The 60-year-old British author clarified in a Monday X post that Watson, who played Hermione Granger in the film franchise based on Rowling’s Harry Potter book series, doesn't owe her “eternal agreement” because she played a character that the writer created.

“Emma Watson and her co-stars have every right to embrace gender identity ideology,” Rowling stated. “Such beliefs are legally protected, and I wouldn't want to see any of them threatened with loss of work, or violence, or death, because of them.”

“However, Emma and [Daniel Radcliffe] in particular have both made it clear over the last few years that they think our former professional association gives them a particular right — nay, obligation — to critique me and my views in public,” the British author continued. “Years after they finished acting in Potter, they continue to assume the role of de facto spokespeople for the world I created.”

She has been bullied by people that she has gifted with a career. They are biting the hand that fed them and continues to feed them.

This is what we are seeing at the moment. The walking back of progressive radical ideology. But this is really another manifestation of the same thing. The ideology is very adaptable and will change with the circumstances to survive.

We seen this with how some progressive politicians changed to suit whatever audience they were addressing. One moment a Southern Baptist and the next a radical BLM activist and supporting radical trans or Islamist.

Good on Emma if she is genuine and we should welcome such change and move on. But I think it takes more than some social media status. Lets hope this is the beginning of some sanity and unity.
