By "this woman," do you mean Rowling? Are you sure she's a woman? Has she taken a gender test?
You mean Robert Galbraith? JK is a little gender fluid anyway.
I get where you're coming from. But she has popped a crotch goblin out in the past, which is a pretty good indication of womanhood. (Side note: I'm not saying if a woman can't or won't have kids they aren't a woman, because they clearly still are. But if a woman does give birth to a child it's usually a strong sign of that gender.)
ETA: If this prospective lawsuit can shut Rowling up long-term that would be fantastic. Like many others, I'm tired of her spewing hateful shit out.
How do you know she did? Were you at the birth? Have you seen video? How do you know the child wasn't adopted?
I know men who've given birth, and women who haven't, so I'm not sure it means what you think it means...
That's why I said it's usually a strong indication.
Your comment makes no sense though. If a woman is a woman, she's a woman whether or not she gives birth. And if someone isn't a woman, giving birth doesn't change that. So how is it a strong sign of that gender?
A woman giving birth is a good indication that she's cis, but if you didn't already know her gender, it wouldn't indicate anything about it except for the assumptions that others have about it...
