Can’t wait for JKR’s response to be like “HDU call me transphobic I clearly wrote Dobby as a non-binary character wrestling with their gender fluidity I am the wokest Brit since Jameela Jamil also Snape cries when he cums”

DEAD. Is Tonks ability to shape shift a critic on the Kardashians?

People keep making these jokes like Rowling just decided to say Dumbledore was gay after the fact to appear PC and that there wasn't any subtext about him being in love with Grindelwald in the last book.

“a wide range of people she finds interesting or thought-provoking”

There’s nothing interesting about hatred and disdain for a marginalized community.

Someone went through and tried to find any positive toward trans people or trans activists on her list and found zero lol. I mean, if your excuse is that you follow a wide variety of people for provoking thoughts, then actually follow a wide variety of people? Not just a bunch of anti-trans people.

Figured. Bless that person for going through that. She’s trash. I don’t understand why she tries to act like some sort of transcendental person when she has been associated with the erasure of Trans people for a while now. This isn’t new.

She's probably a member here.

What a nice hair color on her. She should stay away from that blond hair, the red really makes her eyes pop.
