  1. JK Rowling spent years and millions trying to erase trans people from civic life. Champagne, cigar, yacht when the Supreme Court ruled against us. Now Dr. Q Manivannan — a trans woman — is the MSP representing her constituency. You cannot dictate what civic life does next.

  2. Odd this all happens at once, the knowledge of a child sexual rape club among the leaders of our governments and industry, and JK going on her closet crusade.

  3. The Harry Potter franchise was racist. Source: themarysue.com/is-jk-rowling-r Any actor who chooses to participate in a racist script is racist too. Denzel Washington was offered racist scripts too but always refused them.

  4. The original post was clearly about rejecting the Harry Plopper franchise in solidarity with trans folk.

    While I am all ready to not watch the reboot, I think it is unwise to use the popularity of the show to gauge public levels of support for trans people.

    Regardless of how much people care about trans issues, I'm expecting the show to be well received and to be watched by a large audience.

    There are many influences in people's lives that encourage or even manipulate them to get them to buy into corporate crap.

    You will probably get a few 'I support trans people but I still love Harry Potter' types, but I think many, many people just won't be aware of the issues with Harry Potter, like they don't know the issues with Amazon, or any of the other crap services they use.

    I suppose what I'm saying is, don't be disheartened if it turns out to be a success, and don't use a fictional world's fandom as a gauge for how much people care about trans people.

    Having said that, it would be delicious if it completely fell flat and people rejected it.

  5. Bit of a non-apology here from #KeziaDugdale, the new chair of #StonewallUK.

    Dugdale was rightly pilloried for her statement of 'respect" for #JKRowling. Now she's trying wriggle out of her comments.

  6. @PinkNews @stonewalluk @transactualuk @transworld @christineburns @ZackPolanski Kezia Dugdale "heaps praise" on #JKRowling, does she? If that is the case, she is the very last person on the planet who should be the Chair of #StonewallUK!! What the HELL are they thinking appointing her?

  7. What to make of #KeziaDugdale becoming chair of #Stonewall?

    Her leadership of Scottish Labour was messy. But since then, her role in academia and think tanks has been more impressive

    Dugdale's support for the 2022 Gender Recognition Reform bill is offset by her praise for #JKRowling. Her cautious words now are hard to interpret. She seems to want a calmer debate about #trans rights, but what does that mean when trans rights are under sustained heavy attack?

  8. My teacher has a trans son so she and I talked a good deal today about how awful JK Rowling is and how nobody should engage with her work, & she talked about how she needs to figure out how to cover up an old HP tattoo she has

    I of course said that as an enby I consider myself part of the broad trans community but even if it didn't effect me I'd still stand up for trans people because I have basic empathy.

  9. RE: pawb.fun/@captpackrat/11637111

    "Despite her heavily impaired cognitive abilities, officials said Rowling was still “easily” able to unlock her cell’s half dozen electromechanical deadbolts, kill several armed guards with her bare hands, and use her feces to smear “TERF IS A SLUR” on the facility’s walls before scaling a 20-foot-tall barbed-wire fence and disappearing into the London night."

  10. CW: JKR

    Hey Potterheads, 80s music lover here!
    We stopped listening to The Smiths because of Morrissey, so you can show the finger to that nazi bitch JKR instead of funding her genocide campaign.
    Go read some Pratchett, start with Wee Free Men or Equal Rites, will you?
    Thank you.

  11. ... women's refuges than about the fact that women's refuges have even been interested in funding rich donors because their own state and government don't give a shit about protecting women and queers, will never be able to organize and unite the masses that are necessary to to fight for real change.

    (The media also prefer to talk about culture war topics rather than about the material basis of discrimination. You have to fight against that, too.)

  12. In other words, In order to be able to evaluate a work and its effects, you must inevitably separate the work and the author.

    These liberal culture warriors fall short of this realization.

    The left is currently so disorganized and powerless and change is so far away that some people are outraged by individual works and authors as a great political act.

    Apart from that:
    A left that is more upset about one rich person funding transphobic ...

  13. "The Harry Potter TV series will last a decade" has big "1000 year Reich" about it, doesn't it?

    They had grand plans for that Fantastic Beasts shit as well...
