I understand that even Caitlyn Jenner has spoken in support of Rowling.

What an odd time we live. Nothing is what it seems.

I don't get what's so particularly remarkable about JBP's comments. Wasn't that merely a "thumbs up" for Rowling?

Yep. While I agree with the sentiment expressed by both Rowling and JBP, it seems a little absurd to publish an article complete with video about an 18 word tweet.
They’ll end up, after a lot of drama, with the same formula they use every time they have a trifecta: take away health care and food assistance from low income families and use the money to fund tax cuts for their donors.

You have to wonder why someone would want the world to be like this.
History and the present tell us that if any religion is sufficiently powerful it will criminalize dissent.

True enough, but a related important question is why these religious tenets have caught on in popular western culture.

I think it has to do with a sort of populist fetishization of virtue where high status people with feminized psychologies advocate for non-threatening loser types they feel securely superior to and maternalistic towards. Well that's one of a million ways to put the general concept.

Yeah, but that’s the world. Have of the media articles are about other media. Fox bitching about MSNBC and vice versa…

A man who thinks he's a woman wants to have sex with women?
And some people consider that normal?
We are doomed...

Not just women, Lesbians. He won’t have a straight woman. And if the Lesbian doesn’t want to, then she’s a Transphobe.

Used to have a good-lookin' Pacific Islander gal that worked for me. Her brother also was a person endowed with good features. The lad went through a trying and bitter divorce, and just couldn't seem to climb out of the Pit of Despair.
Well, my gal worked in a department with a drag queen, stage name was Ginger Snaps. He/she said the best thing for brother would be a wild weekend and he knew just the right medicine.
They all met up at a gay bar in town and brother was introduced to his dates...A lesbian couple who assured the brother that if he paid for the recreational substances, they would address his depression problem.
He paid.
That was on Friday night. He didn't make it to work Monday morning. I guess the lad was of a delicate nature and the carousing took a toll on him.
Because, for at least two days, our inebriated and medicated subject of the story got blued, screwed, chewed and tatooed.
I'm not sure of any long-term effects, but it certainly cured his depression in the short term...
