J.K. Rowling Faces Backlash With The Trans/ABC People Community

Well, well, well… quite the interesting turn of events!

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

I firmly believe that someone disagreeing to abide by what someone else expects of them, regarding how they are addressed, is NOT an act of violence or humiliation. Applying your freedom of expression goes both ways.

If I were to state exactly that, it doesn’t mean I’m transphobic. It just means I think they could seek more effective help for the issue they are facing that doesn’t involve encouraging the delusion.

Also, I was reading through the replies to her post, and get a load of this:

As a gay man that found safety in Hogwarts throughout my childhood – knowing that Trans people wouldn’t be able to have that safety breaks my heart.

Comparing the trans subjective sense of reality to a fictional story really isn’t helping your case there, pal.
