An exhausting — if not exhaustive — timeline of J.K. Rowling’s transphobia.

How f’ing dare she use a male gendered pseudonym while rejecting trans rights. An absolutely blindingly unreflective person.

The next time you defend Rowling, remember this.

This "shit" she want to erase represents marginalised people of colour, people living with HIV and those we have lost, trans people and non-binary people.

I hope to god this crosses a line for some of you. But I bet it won't.

I would say that some of you have not understood the books. The Death Eaters claimed, ‘We have been made to live in secret, and now is our time, and any who stand in our way must be destroyed. If you disagree with us, you must die.’ They demonized and dehumanized those who were not like them.

I am fighting what I see as a powerful, insidious, misogynistic movement, that has gained huge purchase in very influential areas of society


She like all TERFs is a bigot.

“Trans identifying males”. But she’s not a transphobe, no siree!

Even most casual bigots would have moved on by now. But she really, really wants you to know she's a bigot, and will remain one because she's proud of it. Like most of the obscenely wealthy and famous, there's little anyone can do to change her mind. She's completely insolated from the reality of ordinary citizens.
