What do you think of JK Rowling telling people to photograph women in toilets in case they’re transgender?

Question

I saw this on MSN news:  What would you do if someone did this? Flush their phone down loo? Smash their phone?

Ummm “All decent men stay out, therefore all who don’t are a threat”.

Missing the point that if a trans woman is dressed in feminine outfit, wearing lipstick, minding her own business to use the restroom then walks out without causing a fuss how would we know this is a man?
Secondly, she says they’re giving disregard to women/girls so it allows female individuals to photograph, report, harass the ‘alleged man’ online…. An eye for an eye isn’t advised by any means also there are laws against this kind of behavior - vigilante justice is illegal which this would fall under.

If you enter the restroom then exit after doing your business without talking to anyone, threatening anyone or doing anything illegal then who the f- cares? I’ve seen women who use the men’s restroom when the line is too long, we don’t take photographs, report, and post images online with doxxing to force them into submission. They had to use the restroom for a normal bodily function, how is that against the law?

Thats up there for 'dumbest idea I've heard in a month.
This falls under the same heading as road rage situations. Confronting someone aggressively is never advisable.
You 100% DO NOT KNOW who you are fucking with, nor how they will react. People will shoot you for nothing these days.

I would be fighting someone if they were photographing me in the bathroom. This transvestigation bs is asinine. There have been cis women who don't look typically feminine getting pulled out of bathrooms or having police called on them over this.

But yeah, fighting and breaking their phone over it since who knows what all they photographed of me.

I don’t believe that’s what she said. She said take picture of men in women’s bathrooms. She never said take pictures of women in case they are trans.

To be honest most trans women (who are male) don’t pass physically as the opposite sex.

Wholly false. The exact quote literally suggests taking photos of MEN in women’s rooms.

"Quite easily, really," Rowling replied bluntly. "Decent men will stay out, as they always have, so we can assume all who don't are a threat, given their disregard for women's and girls' safety, privacy and dignity. Photographing, reporting and disseminating such men's images online will be a piece of cake."

Stop disseminating misinformation.

I recently heard a saying; Transphobes are scared, that other people would do something only they would consider doing.

He became so transphobic, that he promotes cis-misogyny. I am astonished how devoid of logic hatefull people are.

That being said; happy pride!

Thing about transgenders is since they used to be men they can still punch pretty hard.

Weird AF. There have been exactly zero instances of trans women threatening others in a women's restroom.

Yeah, my opinion of JoKe Rowling really can't get any lower. It really doesn't surprise that she'd say something this dim witted.
