- "What did Rowling do/say that's transphobic?" is virtually always a bad faith question from people looking to justify or excuse either their own transphobia but, in case anyone wants an answer, may I present the following incomplete list:
- Fuck. This. Shit.
- Replying to @the_Willard-Publicly Mocked trans-inclusive language (x.com/jk_rowling/sta…) -Claimed the existence of transwomen is an attempt to erase women (x.com/jk_rowling/sta…; jkrowling.com/opinions/j-k-r…)If sex isn’t real, there’s no same-sex attraction. If sex isn’t real, the lived reality of women globally is erased. I know and love trans people, but erasing the concept of sex removes the ability of many to meaningfully discuss their lives. It isn’t hate to speak the truth.
- Replying to @the_Willard-Promoted a store selling anti-trans merch such as "fuck your pronouns" and "transwomen are men" buttons and "notorious transphobe" mugs (x.com/jk_rowling/sta…) -Publicly stated support for a woman who was fired for saying gender can't be changed (x.com/jk_rowling/sta…)Dress however you please. Call yourself whatever you like. Sleep with any consenting adult who’ll have you. Live your best life in peace and security. But force women out of their jobs for stating that sex is real? #IStandWithMaya #ThisIsNotADrill
- Replying to @the_Willard-Her anti-trans essay (linked above) was cited in blocking the Equality Act (nbcnews.com/feature/nbc-ou…) -Has repeatedly insinuated that trans women are criminals by saying that allowing them to use women's spaces would lead to assaults (independent.co.uk/voices/jk-rowl…)
- Replying to @the_WillardMerry Terfmas 😘
- Replying to @the_Willard-Wrote a book about a man who dressed up as a woman to get away with his crimes (thepinknews.com/2020/09/14/jk-…) -Publicly states opposition to trans rights legislation (news.sky.com/story/jk-rowli…; bbc.com/news/uk-scotla…) -Created a "cis only" support center (theguardian.com/books/2022/dec…)
- Replying to @KyleOrlAnd if you need another example: youtu.be/87YXRvfMDlM
- The difference between a leak and this attack is like the difference between losing your wallet and being mugged; we feel it when that distinction isn't recognized. Just saying. The support from so many has been a welcome comfort amidst the storm of it all. 🫂Thank you.
- Tomorrow is my first day as a professional game designer. I'm sure getting to sleep tonight will be no problem at all.
- #SpiderManPS4 tip: Enemies can hurt each other in a variety of ways; dodge gunfire at the right time and they'll shoot each other, kick one toward another and knock both down, hit an electrified guy into another and they're both electrified. Look for these opportunities.
