As a queer person with a wide variety of friends with vastly different transitioning stories, the part that angers me the most about this “regret” narrative is that it’s not at all reflective of the actual experiences of people who start transition and change their minds (a small population, but a real one). I know…

Yes, even Arthur, who is the muggle specialist, can’t bother to take muggles seriously. Of course the superior race gets lesson on muggles and learns to treat them as people, but why would anyone bother to let muggle kids learn anything from their world that isn’t a primer on electricity? Plus, Sirius basically gets…

Why do transphobic people always seem to think being transitioning is some breezy walk in the park people just do on a whim?

I think she always thought she'd know when she saw a trans person. 

I love when people try to defend segregating bathrooms for the purpose of no one having sex in them. Like, as if only heterosexual people have sex.

The fake concern trolling is so gross, but so expected. The worst part for me was her use of retrograde patriarchal language to paint the increasing visibility of trans men as emotional, deluded, mentally disturbed and possibly abused teenage girls; she might have been a 19th century man decrying “female hysteria.” Way…

Again, she’s not a feminist in any way shape or form.

What you said is what I say all of the time to people I know that want people to use bathrooms that the were “born” to use. (Yes, I also ask where intersex people are supposed to go then?) Anyone can walk into any bathroom. I’ve used the guys in a pinch, I’m sure many women have. If someone wants to do something bad…

It really hurts to read the books as an adult and as BIPOC queer woman. I loved Hermione when I was a teenager. Now, it’s gross that Hermione doesn’t have a single muggle friend, assimilates almost completely into the magical world, and barely ever spends time with her parents during her Summers. She spends so much…

Even saying the subtext feels generous to her as many Gay people still didn’t pick up on it and it was meant to be their representation.

Ask your MIL why she’s okay with this apparent army of predatory men continuing to use men’s facilities lmao

There is so much bigotry, hatred and idiocy in her essay that it’s hard to process it all.

To be honest what Rowling intended as messages and what fans got out of the books seem increasingly at odds the more we learn of her politics and intent.

Having talked to people like her she’s worried about the CHIIIIIIILDREN! Wont someone think of the children!? What if they transition and regreeeeeeet it!? (despite the astronomically small number who do vs the many people who kill themselves because they can’t transition).

until one realizes that in total numbers, it’s not that many at all.

OMG my MIL has the identical fear: men are going to start using the women’s bathroom. She went on and on once about how awful it was and it’ll be a big deal.

Just a reminder that this Champion of the Women and Lesbians didn’t include a single lesbian in her hugely famous book series, and the only gay character was left in the subtext. Also, the only female main character was her self-insert.

What the fuck is wrong with this woman? What business is it of hers what anyone else chooses to do with their body? It just seems really strange to me that she would decide she’s a warrior for this side of this issue, especially given some of the lessons of HP as elucidated by Daniel Radcliffe.

I think it’s because you haven’t seen the full video. I’ve seen tons of police brutality videos. Generally, they’re short and if they end in death it’s from a gun shot. This was different. It was long and slow and painful and my hands kept clenching into fists wanting to reach into the screen and stop it (never had a…

His criticism was a gift.
