Seeing a lot of transphobia lately on my dash so reminder that trans-women are women, trans-men are men, non-binary folx are non-binary, cis is not a slur, trans rights are human rights
Any hate towards these groups is not okay, and if you disagree get out <3

JKR stooped to a new low by literally denying that the holocaust had a detrimental effect on trans people and saying that she won't consider Emma Watson and Daniel Radcliffe's apologies as if they even apologized to her lol (and why should they?)
Literally Daniel, Emma and the rest of the Harry Potter cast don't owe her anything. She made the books but Tom Felton said that she was very less involved in the making of the films if I remember correctly. How is she standing up for women if she spends five years belittling transwomen and transmen?! She has a huge platform and she's putting it to good use by making a marginalized community feel even more unsafe. Please don't prove me that she isn't a transphobe because there is ample amount of evidence that she is a huge one and she's not even a feminist lol.
Literally feminism started with gender being performative by Simone de Beauvoir saying that no one is born a woman, but they become women. Yet JKR and other trans exclusionist claiming to be feminists stress on "biological sex" as a way to exclude transgender people! Why?? Thank God I don't use X anymore, or stopped following JKR after her "people who menstruate" tweet, or have never been a crazy Potterhead and only was interested in Harry Potter through the movies. But I really admired her when I was younger! Why JKR WHY??!!
In all honesty I can't stand terfs! I don't want them or even hear of them because they're so dumb and unbearable! Do they even know that transgender people KNOW about their biological sex and they don't transition out of a whim! Transitioning is a very lengthy and difficult process for fuck's sake! And there are even many transgender people who don't transition medically, maybe because they don't have the money or their bodies aren't suited for it. Still terfs love to misgender them and put on their dumb logic of "biological sex" on them. There was one proud terf who called a content creator who was a transwoman a "man" and constantly misgendered her on her YT channel! I'm not gonna name that terf or that transwoman because I don't want to promote that terf's content and her comment-section seems culty because there are hardly any people (or no people) disagreeing with her or even calling her out! Maybe because she deletes comments? It's fucking scary! And she basically boot-licks JKR and Posie Parker (urgh this woman!)
Plus there WERE fans who were transgender that connected to the Harry Potter books on such a personal level and admired JKR so much, only to find out that she's such a big transphobe and would stick to it! Can't imagine what they went through or are going through!
Anyways, thanks for reading through my rant if you did. If a transphobe is reading it, please back off.

TERFs: we only want our extremely narrow and unscientific and racist definition of women* to be alive.
*UNLESS they are brown/black, fat, disabled, ace/arospec, a different religion, queer, sex workers, immigrants, living in poverty, don't meet patriarchal beauty standards...

once again i am reminding people that the phrase “sexuality is fluid” is to uplift people who are figuring out their sexuality as they unlearn the stereotypes and ideologies that they are conditioned to have during childhood.
“sexuality is fluid” does not mean that lesbians can be attracted to men/are men in any capacity. if you are using that to weaponize questioning folks against lesbians, you’re lesbophobic and an asshole. This is not up for debate.

No cis women trans people are not forcing you to use other terms to describe your period or breasts or uterus or pregnancy
Tumblr media
No cis women trans men calling it chest feeding instead of breast feeding is not an attack against mother's
Tumblr media
No cis women a nonbinary parent calling themselves birthing person is also not an attack on mother's
Tumblr media
No cis women you don't strictly own having a period or breasts or a uterus or pregnancy, transmasc/trans men and nonbinary people have those too
Tumblr media
No cis women transmasc/men and nonbinary people are not women
Tumblr media
No cis women trans women are not taking anything away from you when they talk about their experiences of being on hrt and how they have effects that are like a period.
Tumblr media
Yes cis women, trans women sometimes get effects of periods, this happens to cis women who have had hysterectomies as well
Tumblr media
No cis women trans people are not taking away gnc people and making them trans, some people are just trans, and some trans people are gnc
Tumblr media
No cis women you are not protecting womanhood by being transphobic you are simply making things worse for both cis and trans people by enforcing stricture gender roles which will in turn take away more of your own rights as well

A quick feminist rant
"Objectifying women is bad, unless women do it" is a stupid argument, because most of the time it is used in context of women being proud of their own bodies and embracing their sexuality, which is not objectification. Women being women is not objectifying, women don't objectify themselves by living in their bodies or by flaunting their bodies or by being sex workers or any of that, they are being human beings and only in a misogynistic gaze does that become an inhuman action. Women objectifying themselves does happen when they are constantly taught over and over by the patriarchy that their only worth is their bodies and their appearances, which is not good, it is an inherently bad thing but it's not like we wake up one morning and decide our worth is based on our appearance and our value to the male gaze.

Warning: Long essay below the cut
Real talk about Harry Potter for a second. As a millennial who was into HP when I was younger, I have to honest and say that I did not see the problematic shit the J.K. Rowling put in her books. For a lot of us, growing up as a white kid in the early 2000's, we were not educated enough to see the anti-Semitism, racism, and lukewarm feminism that wasn't really feminism because Rowling made fun of Hermione for it. Watching the spiral of Rowling into TERF territory and aligning herself with people who reference Hitler in their TERF speeches and literal fascism breaks my heart. HP played a huge part in my childhood, as it did for many people. Sadly there are HP adults who continue to enable Rowling to use her platform for evil. Instead of looking back and dissecting the literature that formed our current mindset, there are people who grew up to be nasty people indirectly because HP taught them that anyone who complains about the system is doing progressive social justice wrong. Harry Potter became a wizard cop for the system that helped put Voldemort in a position of power. Hitler didn't rise to power out of the blue. He worked the current system in his favor and won support. He wasn't just some manipulative well spoken mastermind, he was using rhetoric that already existed. The criticism about the politics in the HP universe came far too late. We currently have numerous adults who are now currently voting to repress Black and queer history from schools, LGBTQ+ education, and criminalize being trans and gay in several states in the USA.
Not every adult who read HP became a fascist, not every adult who is fascist read HP. I'm certainly not saying that HP is solely the reason why anti-LGBTQ+ hate crimes are currently on the rise again and legislations are trying to get passed. What I am saying is that this is what happens when you don't think critically what you read. Critical analysis about what books are produced and by whom can help deter or enable the kind of ideas that Rowling associates with. Her brand of "progressiveness" is seen through the lens of an upper middle class and upper class white British woman. She largely benefits from a system that will come to be the shoulder for her to cry on when the internet "bullies" her, i.e when the internet and former fans try to hold her accountable for the inflammatory things she's said and written about trans people, women, Jews, POC, etc. I am not a saint in all of this either. My first book that I wrote which will never see the light of day again contained an Indian servant because I thought about historical "accuracy" which looking on it now was a load of shit. What I should have done in the first place was do critical research and properly acknowledge the racism and discrimination and imperialism of the British Empire. That character should not have existed and I deeply regret writing a story like that, even if my intention was not to further enable a white-washed history of the relationship between the British aristocracy and the people of India. Whether it was my intention or not, the fact that I wrote it was not okay. I am sorry for that. That book is no longer available and the remaining physical copies will stay with me. They aren't going anywhere. Moving forward, I will do better research and listen to the voices of people of color when it comes to writing characters outside of my own race.
Rowling has yet to learn that lesson towards trans people and keeps using the debunked conspiracy theory that "men dressed as women" will sexually assault someone in the ladies' room and take up female-dominated spaces. Transwomen are women. End of story. It seems that the more she is criticized for upholding anti-trans beliefs and conspiracy theories, the deeper she digs her heels in. She doesn't want to be corrected or told she's misinformed. The die hard fans of hers follow suit. Adult fans of HP have gone to assault and abuse transwomen, forgetting the soft-spoken message of the books they claim to love so much, that you should not hate people for who they are. I say soft-spoken because HP's message of anti-bigotry can hardly be called as such. It is spoken through the lens of upper class wealthy white woman's perspective of social justice and feminism. I say soft-spoken, and even limp-wristed, because its anti-bigotry message falls flat when discussing the numerous problematic and racist undertones in her writing. She wrote house elves as sentient creatures who want to be enslaved and made fun of Hermione for fighting for their freedom. She wrote the main characters to be all straight, white, and cis who later become part of the very system they fought against as children. The magical races in the Wizarding World universe are frequently looked down upon as if they're lesser than the human wizards and nothing is done for them. She did little to no research on non-European naming conventions and named the one East Asian character Cho Chang, combining a Korean and Chinese name as if the cultures are synonymous, named a black character Kingsley Shacklebolt, and allowed the Fantastic Beast franchise make Nagini (a South Asian name with cultural and religious significance) an Indonesian woman played by a South Korean actress. As if insult wasn't enough, Nagini is portrayed as a submissive Asian woman (stay classy Rowling!) who later dies at the hands of a white character to move the plot forward.
I wrote this fucking essay because Rowling is hurting so many people. Her kind of rhetoric which is a pandemic of hate towards trans people is hurting those I know. Two of my dearest friends are transwomen and I would fight tooth and nail for them. Hearing the author who wrote the books that got me interested in reading say things that accuse my friends of being men and wanting to assault women hurts them more than me and it infuriates me. She is one of the many reasons why diversity in reading is important so her mistakes don't get repeated and regurgitated. When you're a dumb white kid in the 2000's, you don't see the problematic stuff because you're not personally affected by it. Nobody can be racist against a white kid. And when authors like Rowling get praised in spite of the insensitive stereotypes and problematic shit in their books, it really is no wonder that we have a resurgence of hate crimes and rhetoric against LGBTQ+ folk and POC. The books didn't materialize out of thin air. There were so many editors who have had to go through the books and said, "Yep. That's fine" when she was writing offensive names for POC characters, anti-Semitic goblins, and having the white main characters join the system that put wizard Hitler into power.
It hurts to let something like HP go and die a slow painful death. It was a huge part of my childhood and got me into reading books. I might not be the reader I am today without those books. Because I will never be affected by the system in which people of color, trans folk, and the Jewish community are oppressed and I admit to being very privileged, I did not recognize the numerous red flags in J.K. Rowling's body of work until it was too late. For that I am sorry. The damage is done, but I'm trying to do better by listening and protecting my friends, trans or otherwise. J. K. Rowling can go fuck herself.

I need ppl to realize that when I say this I'm not invalidating the struggles Transmascs go through but I would like to call attention to how I've personally noticed how ppl treat transmascs vs transfems. When a random dude found out I was Transmasc he simply asked how I knew I said I couldn't explain it in terms he would understand and he left it at that sure he thought I was just a stud tryna be "unique" but he left me alone for the most part BUT there's a transfem at my school and ppl take pictures of her, constantly scream EWW when they're near her even running away when she's just walking in the halls and as far as ik no one even asked her if she's trans or actually cis but she's tall and muscular so that's enough for them, the point is they think she is and this is how they would treat transfems.

Being transgender is not a mental illness. Gender dysphoria is, and it sucks, and the cure to gender dysphoria is transitioning. Don’t believe me? Here’s four sources that show acceptance and gender affirming care reduce the rates of suicide, depression, and anxiety in transgender people:
