      I’d like a source on this. Not because I doubt it but because I want to compile a list that I can show people who thinks her shittyness isn’t so bad.

      Edit: Fuck it, post proof of all the awful shit she’s said. Let’s make a hate thread.

          It generally agrees with my views of Rowling, but is there anything beyond that single tweet to further flesh it out?

          She could easily back out of that statement by saying “the fever dream” she’s referring to is the assertion she backs Nazi gender theories / policy instead of that they don’t do that.

          I’m more apt to believe she’d deny it, but … skeptics and all.

            When others provided her with sources, she responded by linking to an anti-trans account calling the first transgender woman to undergo gender reassignment surgery in Germany to a "troubled male.” The thread in question also denied that transgender people were targeted by the Holocaust.

            Come on, it’s literally in the text

        I don’t know about Rowling specifically, but an unsurprising number of TERFs are real buddy buddies with far right groups, and this definitely includes people in Rowling’s orbit.

        Forgot the names, sorry, because this is one of the sad reality things you don’t want to dwell too much on or you’ll just get permanently sad. These people are miserable.

          No, I get it. I used to cosplay with a troupe. We did literary events at elementary schools in character to encourage kids to read.

          I was so proud of that, until I found out the truth.
