#i just let out a shaky sigh after writing all of that LMFAO 😭

Wait, what? JK Rowling is bigoted? What did she do/say?

she’s a terf and her takes on feminism and what women need are poo and delluded asf. she claims she’s protecting cis women’s rights to single sex “safe spaces” and completely disregards how trans women are horridly abused no matter what space they take up, not cis women. shes so afraid of a “man using the womens bathrooms” as if this is the peak crux of women’s issues. im not kidding shes genuinely obsessed with gatekeeping whatever she defines as being ‘a woman.’

terfs are dumb bcuz they dont even realise that trans people and the opening of gender constructs LITERALLY HELP WOMENS LIBERATION 😭😭 like???? the arbitrary definition of ‘what a woman is’ will never not be harmful for women considering its steeped in western conservative ideology because thats literally where our preconceptions of gender come from??? i can go into how other countries viewed trans people pre-colonisation but i won’t (but i will if asked). “woman = vagina” is not a satisfactory argument on any means and is quite frankly bullshit

i seriously dont get terfs. gatekeeping feminism from any person has never EVER done anyone any good, since the birth of it only prioritised rich white women. now terfs wanna think theyre smart for judging what experiences people have are ‘womanly’ enough. and this is all in the pov of what can benefit cis women, mind you. because terfs genuinely dgaf about what happens to trans women when they’re forced into male spaces, like bathrooms or prisons or changing rooms or what-have-you. they like to deflect blame when they end up getting abused or killed or raped.

also jkr’s books are racist and antisemetic and i haven’t heard any address from her about that so… talkinf about her tragic representation in her books will be a whole other essay. here’s the abridged version (that leaves stuff out bcuz i cant be bothered getting into all of it):

cho chang. as in the name. which is supposed to be chinese but…. is definitely not… chinese..

slavery plotline with the house elves ‘not wanting to be emancipated.’ bruh.

antisemitism through portrayal of the goblins

werewolves being connected to aids. bruhhh.

every single fat person in the series literally being evil asf 😭😭👎

other people can add to this list bcuz i know theres more but its 2am and i have so much homework to do and im sleepy 😭🙏

i know lots of people shit on all of this for good reason, but tbh i think the shit shes perpetuating irl, the transphobic companies shes donating to as a billionaire, and the ‘safe spaces’ shes creating for like-minded bigots is a bit more concerning.
