First of all obligatory I aten’t dead

Second! Terry Pratchett has been trending the past few days because, apparently, the Gender Critical movement has decided to posthumously “recruit” him by claiming that he would’ve supported their movement. If you’re unfamiliar, that movement is basically to remove social and legal protections for trans people.

This is gross, it’s cowardly, and it’s being thoroughly and viciously debunked by people who knew him personally, including his daughter.

(Rhianna Pratchett has probably been having a rough one the past few days, but her twitter has had a lot of people sharing affirming memories of her dad, which has been lovely to see).

Anyway. I’m not in the UK, and I’m not sure if this just a few people or an earnest effort from GCers to rebrand Sir Terry as Gender Critical and Discworld as some sort of terf zone, but I didn’t want to let this pass without a loud and belligerent TRANS RIGHTS from me. Trans Discworld fans, you are loved. I am but a humble quote poster (and, as the past two years have proved, very bad at it) but I and so, so many others support you, always.

(And if you happen to be here looking for quotes that support gender critical ideology then I wish you a very reading comprehension. scram.)

#by the way I'm so annoyed that terfs got the term gender critical #like yes I am HIGHLY critical of gender as a flawed social construct that we should be rethinking as we progress as a society y'know #but then you find out it just means hating trans people #Hey you know that time in the Fifth Elephant when the dwarves called Cheery a word and Detritus threatened them with a siege weapon? #that energy on this blog #cw: transmisogyny #cw: transphobia #not discworld
