Harry Potter author JK Rowling has ridiculed the Globe Theatre's portrayal of Joan of Arc as non-binary after women's rights campaigners said the switch was 'insulting and damaging'. (snip) It came after a Twitter user criticised The Globe's new I, Joan production.
Her remark of 'Coming next: Napoleon was a woman because he was defeated at Waterloo' was liked by Ms Rowling on the social media timeline.
It came moments after Heather Binning from Women's Rights Network told MailOnline the play was damaging to women.

Still think you can just be nice and 'Go along, get along' with these zealots? There's only ONE reply to them. "FU". And PUSH hard in whatever direction makes them squeal.

Getting really, really tired of this binary, non-binary crappola! And all the other deviancies shoved down our throats!

At least JK cares about us. The trans delusion is fundamentally hostile to women, and those who let it slide, think we can bear a bit more and So What. With some people I think it actually IS hate, deliberate hate. Though, not Caitlin Jenner, who is nuts but has a loving heart.

The English speaking world uses the greatest language in the history of the world. The English speaking world produces the worlds greatest imbeciles. Evidence: The list is endless from global warmers to playwrites at the Globe Theater. Honorable mention goes to Biden voters.

It's not just "insulting and damaging" to women... it's outright MALICIOUS in its assault on womanhood.
If the gender-stupidity cult wants compelling dramatic roles for their alphabet-soup spectrum, let them invent their own and be up-front about it being fiction. Everybody still living on Saint Joan's family tree ought to sue the Globe Theatre for projecting without basis their sick woke religion onto her.

Toleration is an empty egg carton and is not a virtue.

Anyone concerned with women's issues has to be concerned by the trans movement at this point. The trans movement is hostile towards women.

JK has freedom because of her hard work and accomplishment. SHE doesn't depend on anyone's opinion for HER self-esteem and consequently speaks HER mind, courageously and confidently.

Yes, writing history is an insult....but leftists can't make any headway with ACTUAL history, so they have to lie, and lie, and then they lie.
After that they make up fake stories.
Leftists are losers, and most of them are mentally ill, clearly.

Joan of Arc was an innocent, young maiden who cut her hair and dressed like a man to avoid possible “problems” with the male soldiers. It was also practical for battle. She had total and complete faith in God, the Blessed Virgin, the saints and angels. Between fighting the English and restoring the feckless French king—who later betrayed her—to the throne, she didn’t have time for 21st century trivial nonsense.

Insulting? Yes. Damaging? Well, I thought more along the lines of laughable.

Why do the progs have to trans great women of history? Joan of Arc was a remarkable young woman and she was just that, a WOMAN. The idea of trans was not known back then. Will the progs try this on other great women of history like Judith, Esther and Boadicea?

It's The Maid of Orleans, not The To Be Announced of Orleans.
