JKR is now calling trans women “trans identified men” - while still somehow preaching about the ways that men police “femaleness.” JKR and her allies are the only ones who are allowed to gatekeep who and what counts as a woman, apparently. The hypocrisy here is multilayered - she rebukes someone who has a particular idea of what a woman is, and yet she herself has constructed a similarly limited idea of what a woman is - one that excludes trans women. But also - it’s not an accident that all the targets of this kind of transphobia (“protect women’s sport,” “protect women-only spaces,” “some trans women are abusers”) are trans women - not trans men. Under the guise of feminism, she denies the identities and rights of some of the most vulnerable and systemically oppressed women alive today. Trans women are women. To deny that because it doesn’t conform to your “sex-based” definition of womanhood - THAT is the very definition of misogyny.

also it’s worth saying:

DO NOT buy JKR’s new book for a hate-read

DO NOT buy JKR’s new book for a ritual burning

DO NOT keep talking about it endlessly

we do not feed trolls, and we do not give undue attention to assholes

JK Rowling: Now, I have all of these wonderful white names, for white people..

JK Rowling: What about the nonwhite character?..

...

JK Rowling: CHO CHANG

[ballerinainthesand]

Okay but also they (hbo series) need to fix the Ron and Harry relationship as well. People ship Harry and Hermione because of the movies and how they sacrificed Ron’s character development for for Hermione’s. If Ron and Harry’s relationship were true to this books, people would be more content with Hinny and Romione.

Edit to say: and honestly redeeming their relationship just for the sake of doing so would be even better! Ron is the first person to show Harry unconditional love and care. They really are platonic soul mates. Harry is devastated when Ron isn’t around- let’s show that part of their relationship! It has depth! It has love!

Why tf is Harry Potter trending? Didn't we literally witness JK Rowling going full holocaust denial?

People said not supporting Hogwarts Legacy wouldn't do anything.

Granted, I didn't actually read the article, but it looks like she's trying to backpedal on at least some of her bullshit.

I'm not saying we fixed transphobia or anything, but after all this time of her doubling down, this shows that the controversy DID have some sort of effect.

[vexy-hexy]

Yo, so, are we like "uncanceling" J.K. Rowling now???

Like, as far as I'm aware, she's still a fucking TERF but I've seen a few recent articles talking about how she's being "uncancelled" (because apparently being called out for being a TERF is "canceling" someone... WTF)

Does anyone else have any thoughts on this???

Edit: I've been informed J. K. Rowling is NOT being "uncancelled," The media is just trying to make it SEEM like she's being "uncancelled"

Good, fuck Rowling

Ways J.K Rowling did poc dirty in canon:

Making the last name of one of her most powerful black characters “Shacklebolt” - a crude af reference to slavery and just in very poor taste.

Naming her only east Asian character “Cho Chang” - a Korean surname as a first name for a Chinese character - proving she did no research whatsoever into Chinese naming traditions.

Cho’s characterization also leans in to the trope of tragic Asian female characters being defined by their romantic connections to white men, as in “Miss Saigon” or “A Quiet American.” Cho’s storyline centers on her romantic involvement with Cedric, Harry and Roger Davies. She gets no meaningful arc of her own.

The sidekick-ification of Lee Jordan.

Michael Corner being referred to as “the dark one” which is bad enough, and then him being whitewashed in the films.

Pansy Parkinson’s comment about Angelina Johnson’s braided hair looking like “worms” goes completely unpunished. Rowling treats this as standard bullying instead of a racially-charged comment. Rowling clearly didn’t understand the serious implications of this comment and its rooting in deeply-ingrained discrimination against black hairstyles, or she would have written a similar reaction to this as she did to that of Hermione being called a “Mudblood.”

House Elves as a metaphor for slaves is highly problematic because they are depicted as “liking” their enslavement and being complicit in it, much like the black slaves in “Gone With The Wind.” Despite Dobby being a beloved character, he is also seen as an anomaly for desiring freedom, and many other House Elves are depicted as grotesque, fawning, ridiculous or sinister. Pretty garbage metaphor for black slaves.

In Goblet of Fire Rowling describes a group of “African” wizards wearing “long white robes” and “roasting what looked like a rabbit on a bright purple fire.” This is just… *sigh* The way this is worded is very clearly just token exoticism and includes no genuine detail about their clothing, cultural food or nationality. It’s just “wow those zany rabbit-eating Africans and their purple fire.” Once again black characters are being used as examples of otherness rather than shown as human beings.

Rowling has openly admitted that she created a detailed backstory for Dean Thomas, one of the series’ few black characters, but did not include it in the books and included the backstory of Neville Longbottom, a white character, instead.

Approving the casting of a white actress in the role of Lavender Brown in the films, a character the majority of readers assumed was black.

The portrayal of Blaise Zabini’s “famously beautiful” black mother who was known for offing her husbands and taking their money. Like. Come on. Tbh she sounds like a queen but violent woc gold digger is still a shit trope.

Just the entire treatment of the Patil twins at the Yule Ball, the way Harry and Ron treated them and Rowling’s garbage attempt at describing their traditional clothing.

Padma Patil’s portrayal in Cursed Child as the stereotypical controlling Indian wife. The idea of ending up with her instead of Hermione being positioned as some kind of horrible alternate reality for Ron had very xenophobic undertones, and while Hermione is portrayed as black in the play, I don’t believe that Rowling originally intended her to be a black character nor that casting directors deliberately set out to cast a black actress as Hermione in Cursed Child initially.

What is your opinion on trans men? Technically, they do nothing to womens rights (not that trans women do either) Bonus question: what are nonbinary people to do if we're afab? Do we go into women's spaces because of that or do we go into the racoon spaces?

Trans is just unnatural! Hmph, honestly these questions are dumb..women can't be men, they just feel too belittled and they become men to fit in since women's rights have been violated too greatly by trans women that actual women have little to nothing to work with.

Especially if you consider the younger generations of women, like they're dummies. Sad, sad dummies. They give in to peer pressure too easily!

Nonbinary? Well, I refuse to see this as human if you're just going to make up things now. >:(

Seriously, raccoon spaces for them. Git!
