lmao at both of the main stars of both her series speaking up against her. she apparently posted some long-winded bullshit on her website that i'm absolutely uninterested in slogging through.

[thisjoanissima]

I like that he mentioned that the kind of comments she made have real, dangerous consequences for people.

[margerydaw_s2]

I wish others would realize this. JKR is more dangerous to trans people (and literally any group she's agaisnt) than trans people are.

[honey_wheeler]

Such as? What are the real, dangerous consequences of stating that the people who menstruate are women, that women have unique experiences and their lives are shaped by being female?

[adri028456]

Exactly. Basic truths are now supposedly transphobic?

[babarsuhail]

JKR posted a long-ass open letter on her website. I made a post but the mos rejected it (not complaining, I see why they did it): https://www.jkrowling.com/opinions/j-k-rowling-writes-about-her-reasons-for-speaking-out-on-sex-and-gender-issues/

As an autistic person, FUCK HER VERY MUCH FOR BRINGING PEOPLE LIKE ME INTO THIS.

[honey_wheeler]

So you don't have any questions or concerns about the significant over-representation of autism in children who are referred to gender clinics?

[kris_terror]

Why did they reject it?

[snortingcoke]

for anyone that thought she might take this criticism and learn from it: she has not, and she has doubled down in a long blog post i unfortunately read.

[elvasle]

i mean she wrote a whole intro about harry jerking off his wand in bed so i wouldnt be surprised

[masterofmystery]

given his work in the danish girl i'm not surprised at all eddie did. dan commented (in part i'm sure) for similar reason as he's an ambassador for the trevor project
