He doesn’t, actually…unless he’s lying about that as well. But one of his tweets in all this was ranting about how he’s spent a fortune having his c*ck turned inside out…right before he screamed that he’s more of a woman than JK will ever be, which may be the most unintentionally hilarious thing anyone has ever written.
female? he's got "female" on his Birth Certificate ?? How does that work in a medical setting? Meds work differently when taken by males & females. Could be blood pressure or migraines or ??
I don't want even my enemies to need a heart transplant, but if he does then Willyboy had better recognise his sex. A male getting a heart transplanted from a female has a higher risk of rejection. It's not a massive risk, but it's there.
I made a meme recently that says "No male can self identify out of prostate checks and into cervical smears. Humans cannot change sex."
Oh, they all know what they are when push comes to shove. Actually literally when pushing and shoving seems useful to them. They know they're men. Hence the arrogance and entitlement to be put first at all times, no matter if women suffer. James doesn't want sisterhood, he wants to be 100% catered to by women like the straight dude he is. He will take the health care appropriate to his sex as it's not performative and it's in his own interest. He reminds me of Izzard tbqh, he also knows he's a dude whatever he says and he's another lifelong ambitious and nasty bastard who managed to create a cute oersona. The tale he would tell publicly would likely not represent the truth though. I imagine his seething tantrums are for career and financial purposes. I would love to see him try to take in Rowling in court. She would end him.
Ah. In the Detroit auto plants that's what people from Pakistan were/are called. And I can well understand why it is a racial slur in Britain, given the grooming gangs.
The Indian subcontinent is in Asia, even though we often think of northeast Asia (Japan, Korea, China) as being "Asia". The Oxus river is often considered the far western dividing line of what is "Asia", and flows just south of Uzbekistan.
No I'm afraid on that at least he is correct. In Britain, it is perfectly normal for people of Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Sri Lankan etc., heritage to refer to themselves as British Asian. Asian is the accepted term by all. Pakistan is part of the continent of Asia, it is geographically correct. Asians are the largest ethnic minority group in Britain.
I stand corrected but it still seems very reductive to me. People from India don't look anything at all like people from Japan, or Korea, or Vietnam or Cambodia, or China or Laos or any of a dozen other countries. And if an inexperienced North American like me can tell the difference between a Japanese person, a Chinese person and a person from India, then anyone can. I have a degree of face blindness, if you put five bald, medium build, middle-aged men in front of me, introduced me and then sent them all into various corners of the room, then brought them back to a line in front of me, I would not be able to tell you which one was which. And I am not making that up. It's been a source of embarrassment to my husband on more than one occasion.
There is also the question of culture, food, national dress, manners. Two countries like India and China have virtually nothing in common. It's rude to lump them into one mass.
Just about every Korean and Japanese person would object to being lumped in with Chinese people, as well. 😂
In all seriousness, Asia is huge. Factoring in how the Himalayas divides the east half of the continent, you get a ton of cultural variation. Japan is nothing like Kazakhstan, and Mongolia is nothing like Sri Lanka. Those are the extreme ends of the spectrum, but you get my point. As an American, my world was upended when I learned this, lol. But it literally just comes down to the continent the country is in.
It’s just a cultural difference in world view. In Britain and other European countries I think, peoples identities are broadly not about another country. British people don’t call themselves ‘[other country your family came from]-British’, you are British first (or Scottish or English or whatever you want to call yourself), so it doesn’t matter what you look like or what your cultural practices are, they become British because you are. And often people never had citizenship of this other country so why would you claim to be from it, the continent is fine. It’s just a different perspective. As our diminutive prime minister says himself:https://youtube.com/shorts/SWGIJ4-Phtw?si=kqcaU_5mhS_Wg9tz
I'm not at all sure I understand what you're getting at but here, in North America, an Asian-American is not the same thing as a Pakistani-American, or Afghani-American, or Syrian-American or Kashmiri-American or Bengali-American you get the idea. India is its own thing and people who immigrated from India who want to indicate their cultural or racial origin use specific regions and/or countries when they're describing themselves.
With nation states, the government seems to follow this practice as well.
Within the country we lay claim to regional differences in a similar way, Exulansic, for example, is a Californian. I'm a New Englander, someone from Texas might call me a Yankee. (and they would not mean it in a nice way) Everyone knows what you mean when you say: "Florida Man" right? Then there are midwesterners, and of course the slightly insulting "Southerner."
I'm from North American as well, and historically it was in fact my Indian and Pakistani friends who corrected me, saying that they did classify themselves as Asian. They'll also use other identifiers such as "desi". Took me a while to understand it, lol. But, I can only speak for the region where I've spent most of my life, which is Texas. (Might be different up north?)
Amusingly enough, in Australia and NZ members of the Pakistani community use it about themselves without any derogatory sense, has been known to raise eyebrows over here
Canadians on the west coast used to use it too. We moved there mid-childhood and I was horrified at the bluntness of their racism. Not saying racism didn't exist elsewhere in Canada, after all, they bulldozed Africville, literally, but it was on the west coast that I really learned what a huge variety of racial slurs exist.
By the way, if Willoughby wants to use the correct slur for Asians, there are many, beginning with "chink." A hurtful name I heard people call friends and relatives all too often.
Others have mentioned the P word, which is a shortened version of Pakistani, as the P word he’s referring to. Perhaps a gleam of a parallel would have been found if JK had called him a tranny, but she clearly never has and never will.
In my understanding, the slur was once popular a decade ago, under a shroud of anti-immigration and Islamophobia that had become more prevalent because of the likes of political movements such as the British Nationalist Party (the BNP). This environment was fostered by the media who often stoked the flames of this sentiment. These groups have quieted down in recent years.
more like several decades ago, the 1970s and 1980s was the high point of that particular strain of racism in the UK. "Islamophobia" is too fancy a word for it, it was just plain racism (or "racialism" as they would have put it)
Very true - thanks for pointing that out! When I wrote the comment I was only considering my own lifetime experiences (born in 1994) and reflecting on the early millennium, but upon further reflection realised it indeed started long before that. Would you agree with my statement that this kind of thinking has exited the national zeitgeist in the past 5-10 years?
Not sure how to judge the Zeitgeist over the last decade - I do know that street violence as I remember it from the 1980s and early 1990s has almost vanished in the UK, possibly under the influence of rave culture and all that went with it, and that 9/11 introduced a global Islamophobia that superceded the old racism
I do wonder if German people in the 30s and 40s who opposed the murder of Jewish and other minorities and the narrative and propaganda of the day would have been called “Naziphobic”. 🤷♀️
Back in the 60s in some areas everyone called the local corner shop the paki shop, even the Pakistani people who owned them. It wasn’t thought of as racist, it denoted the open all hours nature of the shops, unlike those owned by other ethnicities. By the 70s it had become a racist slur, with young white men ganging up for “paki bashing” . Islamophobia wasn’t a thing back then. They were racist.
wow, I have heard people say that on film and TV and I always thought they were shortening "package" Because a "package store" is what New Englanders call a store that sells liquor and cigarettes. (don't ask me why)
I wouldn't. West londoner, white, but have two branches of India family becuase both my uncles married indian women. They get called the P word, I hear people refer to Asian people with this word still. Definitely not as bad as 60s and 70s, but racism towards South asians is still focused around that word in my experience. I'm born 88
It would be incomplete to bring up Islamophobia in the UK & fail to mention the phenomenon of so-called Asian grooming gangs & the fear of being labeled hateful leading to the underage victims being treated like the criminals while adult male predators continued to act with impunity. And we cannot ignore the well documented racial/cultural components of these ongoing crimes.
Very common in the 1970s when I was growing up & the BNP’s rancid ancestor the National Front was marching through Southall a mile down the road from me.
As a slur randomly applied to brown people (South Asians, approx, rather than East Asians) irrespective of actual national origin, it’s been mainly superseded by “Muslim”, applied irrespective of religious affiliation, in the last 23 years.
This is the guy who offered to show his cervix on tv and was aggressive on Big Brother. He knows he’s grasping at straws, he’s heard of Maya Forstater. In U.K. law JK Rowling is entitled to her views. Notice he deliberately mispronounces her name, I guess there’s no law against that one.
He's been harassing JKR for a few years now. He's desperate for attention. He's been getting more and more rabid as she refuses to engage and just ignores him. It would be funny if he wasn't so mentally ill.
It would need a book to say how many lies he told in that short interview. He even got name of the act wrong, and gender identity is NOT a protected characteristic, 'gender reassignment' is.
Correctly sexing someone is not illegal here.
He said he wasn't going to get a GRC. On 1 May 2018 he tweeted:
"I don't have a Gender Recognition Certificate as a point of principle. Never applied. I refuse to walk around with a Star of David in my bag."
Yet in this he claims his birth certificate says 'female'. You need a GRC to change your birth certificate, so he's certainly lying about either the GRC or the birth certificate.
But this is the delusional man who stated that his chromosomes are 'verified' XX. Which we know is a lie because he fathered a child, and I think XX men are generally sterile. So is he accusing his wife of getting pregnant by another man?
He claims racism is like misgendering, but he's made vile, racist comments about immigrants.
The biggest irony in this, however, Is that he himself has misgendered transwomen. The evidence is on Twitter where he called Debbie Hayton a man and said he wanted him to die. So misgendering is perfectly acceptable when he does it. The irony and hypocrisy are both off the scale.
The interviewer later did a video about the interview where he calls Willoughby 'she' but then goes on to call him 'he' multiple times. Wonder if Willoughby has seen it yet 😂
I have an insult for nasty, hurtful vain people I have only used once or twice but the one time I used it, it was very effective. Someone should say it to him:
"Go ahead, India, get older."
You would be amazed how quickly that deflates the ego of a person like this. It's like pricking a balloon.
This man is seriously emotionally screwed, believing he is female-- when he really KNOWS he is male-- MALE all the way through---- male, male and more MALE---
fyi “it’s rOH-ling like bowling, not rOW-ling like howling.” this I learned from Stephen Fry on an old episode of Quite Interesting (QI). note that Willoughby uses the incorrect pronunciation but the interviewer quietly uses the correct one 😏
also that’s no intended slight on you, Ex. I thought JKR’s name rhymed with howling for years and I think most people do, even some of the main cast members of the HP movies. but Stephen Fry met her like 25+ years ago when he was asked to be the narrator for the HP audiobooks (US-released versions) and he apparently got clarification about how to pronounce her name at the outset.
It always seems so funny to me to see these old fussbudgets trying to stand on their third leg, you know? The one he had removed. This case has been proven in England, Rowling has the right to speak her mind. And yet Willoughby just keeps swinging his phantom dick around as though there's still some value in doing that.
He doesn’t, actually…unless he’s lying about that as well. But one of his tweets in all this was ranting about how he’s spent a fortune having his c*ck turned inside out…right before he screamed that he’s more of a woman than JK will ever be, which may be the most unintentionally hilarious thing anyone has ever written.
He may have gone private, though I don’t know where he’d get the money.
female? he's got "female" on his Birth Certificate ?? How does that work in a medical setting? Meds work differently when taken by males & females. Could be blood pressure or migraines or ??
Does HE check on HIS prostate?
What gobbledygook is this idiot saying?!
I don't want even my enemies to need a heart transplant, but if he does then Willyboy had better recognise his sex. A male getting a heart transplanted from a female has a higher risk of rejection. It's not a massive risk, but it's there.
I made a meme recently that says "No male can self identify out of prostate checks and into cervical smears. Humans cannot change sex."
Oh, they all know what they are when push comes to shove. Actually literally when pushing and shoving seems useful to them. They know they're men. Hence the arrogance and entitlement to be put first at all times, no matter if women suffer. James doesn't want sisterhood, he wants to be 100% catered to by women like the straight dude he is. He will take the health care appropriate to his sex as it's not performative and it's in his own interest. He reminds me of Izzard tbqh, he also knows he's a dude whatever he says and he's another lifelong ambitious and nasty bastard who managed to create a cute oersona. The tale he would tell publicly would likely not represent the truth though. I imagine his seething tantrums are for career and financial purposes. I would love to see him try to take in Rowling in court. She would end him.
"the P word" rhymes with tacky. Interesting he chose racial *slurs" as an equivalent to stating sex - man or woman are not slurs. He's pathetic.
Ah. In the Detroit auto plants that's what people from Pakistan were/are called. And I can well understand why it is a racial slur in Britain, given the grooming gangs.
It's been a racial slur for much longer than grooming gangs have been around, pretty much as soon as people were coming from Pakistan.
In Detroit it was originally more of an indicator of origin. Like names for people from Poland, Italy, Mexico, etc.
Since when is does coming from the Indian subcontinent make a person "Asian?" Even his bigotry is ill-informed.
The Indian subcontinent is in Asia, even though we often think of northeast Asia (Japan, Korea, China) as being "Asia". The Oxus river is often considered the far western dividing line of what is "Asia", and flows just south of Uzbekistan.

I rember my shock when I realised Israel was in Asia too...
And Turkey

it's a term used by politicians, media.
not the Pakis, not the Bangladeshi, not the average John Smith.
he's using PC, Media, Govt garbage
Especially because Mr. Willoughby is know far and wide for his racist abuse on Twitter.
Paki is the word. Seems to mostly be a British thing. I have never encountered it outside of British contexts.
Amusingly enough, in Australia and NZ members of the Pakistani community use it about themselves without any derogatory sense, has been known to raise eyebrows over here
I have a neighbour called Paki Paul. Everyone calls him that, even other Pakistanis
Canadians on the west coast used to use it too. We moved there mid-childhood and I was horrified at the bluntness of their racism. Not saying racism didn't exist elsewhere in Canada, after all, they bulldozed Africville, literally, but it was on the west coast that I really learned what a huge variety of racial slurs exist.

I would have never gotten that. I was trying to figure out how pedo is a racial slur in Britain

See the movie, "My Son the Fanatic," about that strain of racism in Britain driving the son of a Pakistani immigrant into fundamental Islamism.

Wait...what? His cervix?
Thanks, Exulansic for calling out more crazy talk! India is a delusional man.
Just call him Asia 😂
What a ridiculous man. Tacky sweater, too. What's the P-word? Did he mean the C-word?
He means a short version of Pakistani, applied to Brits of South Asian background, pretty much irrespective of national origins.
It seems clear that India doesn't really believe his own claim that he is a woman. Or why would it even matter what JK Rowling said?
🎯
He's been harassing JKR for a few years now. He's desperate for attention. He's been getting more and more rabid as she refuses to engage and just ignores him. It would be funny if he wasn't so mentally ill.

the knight who said he - I am in love. Glad Willoughby is out there making a testerical arse of himself. operation let them speak
How much is this costing taxpayers over there? Fuck this abusive guy.
