“Vulnerable women reliant on single sex spaces.”

As has also been pointed out before, if a man genuinely feels like going into a restroom to sexually assault someone, the sign on the door is probably not going to be the thing to stop him.

This is about restrooms again?

I mean, I was in an airport restroom once where a man came in and went into a stall and no one cared. Not a trans person, an actual cis man.

He needed to go, that was the nearest restroom. No big deal.

If JK Rowling would have run out screaming, that’s on her. The rest of us gals are cool.

Harry Potter had a HUGE LGBT following. In the early 90's when queer themes in kids books were forbidden, a lot of kids took solace in the metaphorical power of a story where a kid who literally lives inside a closet gets to come out and experience a whole magical world far away from his restrictive family.

Good on Dan, Emma and Rupert for continuously supporting LGBTQ+🏳️‍🌈  community. Rowling is so far gone at this point. 

On the same note, Radcliffe has been very open about substance abuse WHILE he was making the Potter movies. But, he’s absolutely well adjusted and sober now, of course.

I suspect your post will not age well. Just like comments made years ago why black people and white people should be separate. Why gay people should be condemned to less rights. Why women shouldn’t have credit cards absent a man’s approval....

...this issue, honestly, is quite stupid. It comes down to treating people…

Look at the comments by Radcliffe and the comments by Rowling, and tell me which is the more reasoned response by a happier person.

Exactly. Not just normal kids, but decent actors, with actual careers.

It’s almost shocking how well-adjusted the adults the Harry Potter child stars grew up to be are, even beyond the “big 3" of Daniel, Emma and Rupert.

what the fuck is going on? like multiple outlets are reporting on this bullshit. i guess they killed off this character in the latest simpsons episode and there’s some astroturfed media campaign trying to pretend fans actually give a shit about it?

That’s definitely a genre I could get into.

I’m a little bored of true crime podcasts that focus on murder, they should cover topics like this instead.

I remember our student teacher read The Indian in the Cupboard to us in 4th grade. He was amazing, he did voices for all the characters, really brought the book to life. And I’m sure there’s plenty of problematic stuff in it in retrospect, but the book at least gave you an inkling that natives aren’t all a monolith,…

“who would have been between 15 and 21 years old at the time of the incident”

I was gonna say the same thing.  Dozens of people work on a TV show.  Why assume it was one of the co-stars?

He didn’t reveal who those “certain people” (plural!) actually were and it seems unlikely that he will in the future, but for the record, his co-stars for the majority of the show were Bryan Cranston, Justin Berfield, Erik Per Sullivan, Jane Kaczmarek, and Christopher Masterson.

Even worse is that Ebert’s example of a non-exploitative role is Schneider in Last Tango in Paris...

She’s right, but also... look out, Isabella! *link to article about Martin Scorsese’s thoughts about Marvel movies

Then you should try mapo dofu (chinese) or soondobu (korean).
