Fuck Transphobia - Blog Posts
it’s so interesting to watch harry potter fans continue to try and distance the series/characters from the creator when jkr said this in 2023:
i get it, harry potter was important to me too. i played hogwarts with my friends, i started a harry potter club, i had a wand and robes. i almost took “religion and harry potter” as a freshman in college!! but when i found out that jkr was a transphobic nazi sympathizer? i dropped that shit so fast. it was kind of sad but mostly i was just angry at jkr. and i understood that the characters were fake while transgender people are real. you have to realize that transgender people are more important, right? and nonbinary people like myself because i’m pretty sure she hates me too but it’s mostly trans folks
and yeah you can interpret the characters however you want! you can make them black, queer, trans, whatever you want! you’re still using her characters, her series. her bigotry is inherent in her creations. you can’t separate it and the fuck would you want even the smallest part in it?? just let it fucking die, already, please. or if you can’t give up a mediocre fantasy series, you could at least admit that you’re not the best ally, huh?
an estimated 1-5% (so lets say 2.5) of the world population is ace, now lets half that for the 50-50 gender split, thats 1.25, and 80% of asexual women have experienced rape at some point in their life, thats 1%.
instead of ...not... hating on 1% of the population whove faced rape (and are women), she protects a bassicly non-existent group of likely hundreds-...- well just hundreds, at the cost of two whole groups of people (0.6%~, and 2.5%~).
shes being extremely hateful and bigoted towards 248,000,000~ people, whilst """protecting""" (people can go in the oppisite sex's bathroom anyway) a miniscule group of just a few hundred, even having a significant (about 1/3) of that group having experienced something she should be concretely against (rape towards women) according to her entire **CLAIMED** belief.
shes either delicately misinformed, or just bigoted, and in neither one she is a feminist, because she just isnt.
The fact that jkr doesnt seem to realise that the freedom to remove and decenter sex from your lifestyles and relationships, to not be told that sexual experience gives you measurable value, or to simply not be forced to be sexual when you dont want to be is such a massive part of women's liberation just cements what I already suspected: that shes never been a feminist at all, just a racist old creep with no life outside of her hatred
