#she's transphobic because she misunderstood people calling harry trans as saying he's a trans woman

[slightly-gay-pogohammer]

Hey gio I accidentally got into an argument about how Rowling, and how she’s not transphobic and how’s she’s misunderstood, do you have a list of reliable sources and evidence to point out she’s not a good person?

okay i want to say that. unfortunately i DID have some discussions similar to this in the past, and they always ended with the other person going "let's agree to disagree :)" and so i know it's a lowkey Lost Cause. however. wanna give out obvious proof? like nothing that can be misread or misunderstood?? like of course i can just throw her twitter link here and call it a day, but again. i've met people who were adamant and kept saying that she was just pro women, well.

sure let's go. putting it under read more because i know that it's very upsetting. we're discussing transphobia, but i also want to lampshade her racism and much more so. yeah.

also point 0.5: i know you want proof of transphobia but i want to remind everyone that she's a bad person through and through. just by reading the book you can see a lot of fatphobia - especially with the dursleys - excusing slavery with the house elves to the point that the only one who's happy with being free is considered "weird" and the one person who wants to fight for their rights being constantly used a a joke, antisemitism with the goblins description, the racism when it comes to non-white characters (the chinese character is literally called cho chang and whatever the fuck she did with the native americans) and much, much more. I won't lie, I still have fond memories of the books from when I read them as a child, but you can't ignore that she really pissed outside the bucket more than once

1. again, just read the books. in harry potter i think it's just something very vaguely hinted with Rita Skeeter being described as masculine and being a character who constantly badmouths and stalks the underage protagonists, and we all know how her main villain in "troubled blood" is what a trans woman is in the eyes of a terf: just a man who crossdresses to enter in women's bathrooms to kill them. there's also her new book where she makes the victim we need to avenge a cartoonist who's killed for being accused of being transphobic, but honestly i didn't read too much into it nor i want to because just the premise makes my blood boil

2. small, but while her rampage on twitter can "be misunderstood" as "her protecting women" ( no it can't, but again. that's what people i discussed with were preaching :^) ), i think the ultimate smoking gun was her blocking stephen king, someone she openly reverred jus a few hours before he stated that trans women are women

3. similarly, Katherine Waterson, the actress who played the main love interest in "Fantastic Beasts", was casually pushed aside after she was very openly went against J.K.'s transphobia. In the latest movie her character was "unavailable" until th very end, as far as I know, where they rushed to close her love arc.

3.5. the actors of Harry, Ron and Hermione and many others were also openly supporting trans people btw, and since she doesn't really have power over them anymore Rowling being absent to the Harry Potter reunion really says a lot to me

4. This is my personal smoking gun: her promoting a terf site

i think the name of the site itself is proof enough, but just to make sure that they didn't have a sudden change of heart or it could "be misunderstood" i took one for the team and checked their site and

this was their landing page besties. can't be more obvious than this

5. JK yes you can. Wanna know with who she hangs with lately?

these people :) I heavily encourage watching this video, as upsetting as it might be -- and check out this channel's Harry Potter essay too, they really go deep into how badly she fucked up, but the TL;DR version of the video above is "they're all terfs" like you can say you're not transphobic as much as you want, but if most of your besties are transphobes I think it's kind of obvious you are too

6. "Merry Terfmas"

#gio replies #transphobia tw #racism tw #fatphobia tw #yea we're going there #im not really good at these kind of serious posts but shitting on this devil of a woman is always fun #< as fun as the acid reflux i'm getting rereading her tweets might be anyway

#url anon #i don't want to open this can of worms because i could literally go off about her for hours #she's so manipulative in the way that she has painted herself as a victim and ignored how her words and actions have hurt people #she's transphobic because she misunderstood people calling harry trans as saying he's a trans woman #and gave her spicy take about how that wasn't true which was basically about his body and his pronouns being masculine #(and somehow ignored how that is harmful af to trans women and trans femmes regardless of her personal belief about harry) #i'm sure at some point she recognized that it wasn't the case and that people were just saying he was non-binary #but she never admitted it or apologized for anything she said #she gave one half assed attempt at a plea for forgiveness by asking people to explain to her what she did wrong #except she has basically blocked everyone on this website who didn't agree with her and would have felt bold enough to say something #so who was she asking to educate her? no one she just wanted someone to coddle her and tell her she did nothing wrong #she's not transphobic because she has any ill feelings towards trans people (except those she openly and deliberately mocked but 🤷) #she's transphobic because she's ignorant and instead of trying to educate herself she doubled down on her stance #she's transphobic because she insisted that trans people had an agenda for saying harry was trans too #and she's a big time fucking hypocrite for doing all of this with her blouie bullshit #i think anyone who has ever referred to harry as haddy or alpha should automatically not be allowed to have opinions on his gender #because they truly lost the fucking plot the minute they started projecting things onto harry that weren't true #but that's just my very humbly opinion #wow look at that i guess i did open that can of worms ahdkshdj
