Please dont let your children read Harry Potter anymore...

The author (who I will not name) is a blatant transphobe

I don't think she is disrespecting trans people. She simply gave her opinion which she is entitled to do as an adult. Trans people are ignoring all the good she has done by focusing on one thing she said which they disagree with.

@Wraithorn Nice cowardly attempt and trying to get through her anger....good luck with the just be nice and it'll all work out foolishness 🙄
@Wraithorn Actually, she repeats all of the transphobic talking points. It’s way beyond just not wanting trans women on a women’s retreat.
[c=#359E00]as far as i know.. there is no transphobe content in Harry Potter, you don't need to make a fuss if the author is transphobe, everyone have their own right[/c]

My support for trans folk goes back decades. If you're trans I'm sure you've had many tough moments in your life.

But I don't subscribe to the idea that we have to persecute people we disagree with. Anyone. Real change happens by humanising, not dehumanising.
I let kids read anything they may be interested in, and I also encourage them to have a critical mind about everything.
We all have fears, why are you hating someone for their's?

Just pretend the author doesn't exist while reading.

She against Terminators?
It’s possible to separate an artist’s work from their personal views. There’s nothing transphobic in Harry Potter.
Harry Potter is the debil...
the order of the Phoenix was a pretty bomb book tho 🤔

How exactly is she a transphobic?
Thunderstruck · 51-55, M
@MayRey She didn't proclaim that she wasn't. This more of the bend to my will or I'll cry like an idiot in an attempt to destroy you foolishness.
@MayRey She wrote a viciously transphobic article where she repeated the worst crap we hear from the religious right. Like “men in dresses” lurking in the ladies room, that garbage.
