The fact those castles are both schools of magic only makes this funnier.

Something is different this time with JK Rowling’s ugly comments regarding Imane Khelif and Lin Yu Ting. Both of whom are cis women and have identified as women since their birth.

It’s the first time I’m seeing more of the general public reacting with “You don’t know what you’re talking about. Stop being so weird and obsessive.”

Reaction to this has been particularly strong in Taiwan.

‘Gender Critics’ aren’t even being gender critical now. They are being gender enforcers for women they perceive to be outside the norm.

And it’s good to see people recognising this creepiness for what it actually is. Frothing at the mouth at every little thing will turn the public away from you.

i actually think we should not be giving JK rowling any attention in general but to be honest maybe normies should know that woman is straight up doing holocaust denial on twitter now

I've made a strong resolution to unfollow anybody who is supporting Hogwarts JKR game.

And then one of the most important influencers in hair maintenance polish universe (who is btw autistic) listens to the games music.

So not buying the game. And I suppose the music is great quality, said by many. And I think that that person might by not aware of all boycott transphobe thing.

So I broke my resolution and I hate it.

In light of recent events:

Separating the art from the artist

does NOT work if said artist is

1) alive

2) directly financially benefitting from you consuming the art

Especially if they have tweeted this in the past:

[ask-the-virtual-council]

Let's all pickpocket Joanne until she goes mad over if she's actually misplaced it all or has been stoled from :3

She'll never see it coming.

tbh we should make it legal for trans people to steal from transphobic rich people

this is actually interesting. how prone to mental gymnastics terfs are. it's somewhat viral by now the stupid tweet from jordan kermit rowling denying that nazis hated trans people and then moving the goal post. first claiming that the nazis burning books on trans healthcare was a fever dream, and when presented with proof that it very clearly happened, she changed the claim completely, as though she never said that nazis hating trans people was a lie, she just meant that "trans people weren't their first victims and not all books were burned!", as though that's not a completely different and unrelated claim

because not only terfs agree with nazis when it comes to trans people (filthy degenerates!) but they know that agreeing with nazis on anything at all is "bad rep", so they rely on denying that nazis ever hated trans people at all, therefore not only erasing trans history but also an important part of the history of the holocaust: the book burnings - but also it shows how easily they twist and deliberately misinterpret the words of anyone that goes against them. im not agreeing with nazis, you just don't know what they actually believed in. you have sources? oh, but you can't have sources to this other unrelated baseless claim someone else "on your side" did, therefore im still right and you're still wrong, and you look stupid when you try to defy that.

and the fact that some people not only fell for that but also vehemently defend it. it's no wonder people call them a cult

What is the difference between a witch and a wizard

Both could generally refer to any gender of mage, but certain authors of recent infamy decided that one is female and one is male. Hence this scene from a movie that I can't believe is over 20 years old:

[foone]

J. K. Rowling has three kids, any one of which could do the funniest thing ever by coming out as trans.

[not-terezi-pyrope]

Latest from the anti-trans movement: The "hormones and chromosomes = gender" meme has gone so far in redefining male/female in their minds that JK Rowling is currently leading the charge in calling a Algerian boxer a male - despite her being a cis woman assigned female at birth and presumably with a vagina - because she apparently has elevated testosterone levels (and maybe an intersex condition affecting chromosomes? I'm unsure because I haven't seen any actual source on this beyond terf and right wing wittering).

The added irony of this is that Algeria has extremely conservative legal attitudes towards sexuality and gender. Gay sex is illegal in Algeria. Gender identity is not recognized in Algeria and you cannot legally change your gender assigned at birth. The idea that Algeria has sent a secret trans woman to represent them in the Olympics is ludicrous, and extremely out of touch with international context.

Anyway, the point being that the anti-trans moral panic about "basic biology" has now expanded so that any woman who is not sufficiently stereotypically (white and) feminine can be branded a "biological male" and then deprived of rights and entitlements, and major cultural outlets are leading the charge in normalizing this. This is deranged misogyny flying under the flag of women's liberation.

Cis women need to realize that they are at risk as well, and even if you're haven't been speaking up for trans women, this has come far enough that you need to be concerned for your own rights.

Oh is that so, Joanne? It bothers you to be called by a name that you don't identify with?

I simply cannot imagine what that must feel like.

…Oh my god, she’s just copying South Park

That’s seriously where she’s at right now. Copying South Park’s attack on the trans movement.

Also, like, this is a TERRIBLE thing to bring attention to, considering the black character of Kingsley Shacklebolt she created.

And the fact that house elves really love slavery and Hermione trying to free them was seen as naive and ignorant.

Anyways, her post is in response to people upset that she’s targeting Lucy Clark, the first openly transgender football (soccer) referee in the world, who came out in 2018. She honestly just seems like a nice person.

But this was too much for JK Rowling! She posted the above tweet and several more

Misgendering and sending stray shots at people who cross dress too - apparently because the media(??) is too nice to them(??)

I wonder how JKR would react to learning that pants were initially unisex, and that pants were deemed “unmanly” at times

Or the fact that people who cross dress have played important roles in history, like Dorothy Lawrence

Of course, JKR doesn’t really care about facts.

All she cares about is that Lucy had the audacity to… lightly warn people to not make transphobic comments:

JK Rowling is a real asshole

[catboybiologist]

I'm sorry but did Joanne Roanne Koanne tell on herself and say she put down her religion as "believer in biology" on the official Scottish census

Joanne

Joanne this is embarrassing, even for you
