If #trans people are telling you to not buy Hogwarts Legacy or Harry Potter products, and you do regardless, to me it reads as you prioritize your own comfort and nostalgia over the very real danger that trans people are facing now, danger that is propagated by JKR and other TERFs. #LGBT #HogwartsLegacy #HarryPotter

I wish I knew what happened in her twisted mind to turn her into this TERF she's become.

@ScottSoCal unfortunately, when you look back you see a lot of subtle transphobia (and also just shaming on appearances, especially weight) in the books? Like Rita Skeeter was always described as looking masculine and having β€œmannish hands” for example. Her characterization of lycanthropy in her words as an HIV allegory too, especially as Lupin was the exception to werewolves who generally side with Voldemort, and Fenrir who β€œconverts” children. 😬

It's been years since I've read the books - mostly just the movies. And I do like how nearly all the stars of the movies have protested her views publicly.

@ScottSoCal the movies cut out a lot of the more mean spirited stuff, like the fatphobia, SPEW, and other more β€œwait what the hell” stuff.

@ScottSoCal

She rightly decided predatory men shouldn't be allowed into women's spaces because they decided to LARP as women. Based choice of her
