#JK Rowling is a Bigot

Happy Trans Day of Visibility!!!

Okay, for anyone who needs context, and this is WILD...

There was an Olympic boxing match between Italian boxer Angela Carini and Algeria’s Imane Khelif which ended after 46 seconds when Carini broke down in tears and left the fight, later telling reporters: “I preferred to stop for my health. I have never felt a punch like this.” Khelif is one of two boxers permitted to fight at the Games despite being disqualified from the women’s world championships in 2023 for failing testosterone and gender eligibility tests.

Numerous right-wing figureheads have started complaining about fairness in sports with JK Rowling going so far as to say, “Could any picture sum up our new men’s rights movement better? The smirk of a male who knows he’s protected by a misogynist sporting establishment enjoying the distress of a woman he’s just punched in the head, and whose life’s ambition he’s just shattered.”

But Imane Khelif is a cisgender woman.

Imane Khelif was assigned female at birth, has lived her life as a woman, and is 100% a cisgender woman. Even by the bullshit, bigoted standards transphobes set for women she meets them. But TERFs on this website seem to be having a hard time believing that so they're coming up with conspiracy theories, saying Khelif is intersex (which I can't confirm if she is or isn't), and that she, "moves like a man."

But Algeria does not recognize or respect the civil rights of LGBTQ people, so they would not send someone who could even possibly be trans to represent them at the Olympics.

This just goes to show that the standards of womanhood transphobes set-up to keep trans women out hurt cisgender women as much. Khelif is a cisgender woman who was disqualified from the women’s world championships in 2023 for failing testosterone and gender eligibility tests and now has people like JK Rowling - who champions herself as a defender of cisgender women's rights - calling her a man.

TL;DR - A cis woman hit her competitor so hard at the Olympics transphobes are calling her a man.

I really wish some of you cared as much about trans people as you do Harry Potter.

I was thinking about a Hogwarts au. EMA trio have been best friends since they’re little kids. When they’re 11 they get their Hogwarts letters, Armin and Mikasa are promptly sorted into Gryffindor. Everyone, and I mean everyone from his family to those who barely knew him, expected Eren to be sorted along with them, at that age he was the embodiment of Gryffindor values. Instead, Eren is sorted into Slytherin. To everyone’s shock and Mikasa’s and Armin's horror.

Not only do they not live together in the same dorms, they don’t share all the same classes, they play on opposite quidditch teams, and Eren has his Slytherin friends. Gryffindor-Slytherin friendships are taboo, not to mention relationships. As the years pass, try to retain their old friendship but it’s not the same thing since there’s a lot of animosity between houses. What’s your take for Eren and Mikasa finally getting together?

I have to be up front, I believe Ackermans are hufflepuffs, so to me it's surly Slytherin Eren Jaeger and his shy, sweetheart of a girlfriend, Hufflepuff Mikasa Ackerman, which is kind of funny in and of itself. And then I think Armin would actually be in Ravenclaw or Slytherin rather than Gryffindor, so imagine he got Ravenclaw and they're all in separate houses but manage to stay friends because they're all rebellious in their own way.

BUT! My thoughts aside, what my take for Gryffindor Mikasa and Slytherin Eren getting together. Well, first thing is that young Mikasa canonically does not give a shit about what's expected of her if it interferes with her personal interests (protecting Eren and Armin, usually), so I don't think she would give a single fuck if dating Eren is taboo. However, I do think Eren would care. He's much more concerned with fitting into the system (pre-timeskip, before they essentially switch worldviews) and would be really grumpy about not being able to hang out with his friends at school, although i do think he would still hang out during holidays. Thus, I think it's during one of their school breaks that Eremika would get together, and then they sneak around when they're at Hogwarts. I don't know if you want to get into all the angst of Voldemort returning but I also don't think Eren would actually be a death eater or care about blood purity, despite the fact that he tried to wipe humanity off the planet. Those were different situations. I think the main concern with him in a Hogwarts au would be his lofty aspirations of bringing the wizarding community out of hiding and making the muggles deal with it or get out.

JK Rowling has now labelled not only trans people, but BIPoC and AIDS as "shit".

Well at least the gay YA novel I’m currently reading had the grace to put the first inevitable h*rry p*tter reference on page 194. I mean that’s pretty good - usually it’s, like, sub-30

[rewritingcanon]

me watching a little girl in the single digits innocently explain to me that jk rowling is who she aspires to be when she grows up:

[spider-doctor2]

Oh nooo, the disgustingly wealthy bigot doesn’t like just ONE of the MANY ways in which Just Stop Oil is desperately trying to SAVE THE PLANET? The same reaction she will ALWAYS have regardless of what they do? How awful oh noooo

[nando161mando]

When you're so obsessed with trans people that even Musk thinks you're being too much.
