Straight up banning books because the governor thinks its obscenity and does it for cynical political gain, vs the estate editing copies of books to change some phrases, doesn’t change the overall books meaning, and wasn’t forced by any politician with the goal probably just being make more money. Clearly these are…

I see you’re doing the same thing JKR does: claim that trans women are men, and that men are dangerous to women, therefore allowing trans women to use the women’s restroom puts other women in danger.

You quoted a part of the essay where she lies in the first sentence. She absolutely believes trans women are a threat to other women. That’s why she wants them banned from women’s restrooms.

That’s the same essay where she equates trans women to bathroom rapists, and uses that as the reason to exclude them from places other women are allowed.

Hey now! Kevin McHale wouldn’t have played a kid in a wheelchair on Glee if he knew “what we know know”. This is a joke because we know everything we knew then now and I’m making the comparison to what you just said.

I’m not insulting you with this snark I’m insulting Evangeline Lily* Even two years ago any sane person…

Absolutely not an exaggeration.

“Do you think they have meetings?”

Separating the art from the artist is a method of critical analysis. It’s a rhetorical device meant to evaluate the work on its own merits. Like if a novel has a female villain and the author went through a messy divorce with his wife you might connect the two so you separate the art from the artist to ensure you’re…

I would take you less time to Google why Rowling is transphobic than it took you to type out this comment, much less expect someone to reply to it.

Honestly, Rowling’s supporters really love their double standards. They’ll go out of their way to proclaim every Harry Potter project to be the greatest creative work in the history of the universe just because their idol’s name is attached to it, but then the moment someone has something negative to say, they demand…

Separate the art from the artist

Its not an exaggeration.  She is literally pals with white supremacists and nationalists and her words are literally being quoted by american right-wing politicians to write anti-trans legislation.

Separate the art from the artist

You cant separate the art from the artist when the ‘art’ is what keeps her relevant and influential enough to promote transphobia on a massive scale.

Rowling has explicitly stated that she considers support for the HP franchise to be support for her and, by extension, for her transphobia. Given that Star Wars is now firmly in Disney’s hands and has been in the hands of many other people, it would be harder for Lucas to lay claim to the franchise in the same way.

I wonder if the same hate-spewing, comment warriors railing against a trans person expressing thoughts on a game based on the works of an anti-trans creator also have the same energy to go over to The Root and complain to black writers for reporting on issues that affect black people?

She is %100 a virulent transphobe. Also the whole “separating the art from the artist” debate is entirely up to the person consuming that media. You can hate Roman Polanski because he’s a predator and still think Chinatown is a good movie. You can also say you don’t care how revered and good the movie is, you will…

Its always fun when a guy who's talking about immaturity starts his comment off by calling people "bitches".

Oh she’s definitely a transphobe.

There’s no way 1% of the population identifies as asexual. You’re source for that an unsourced comment from asexuality.org. I’m sure there’s no bias there whatsoever.
