TERF JK Rowling continues to be a hateful bigot.

This particular case of dissonance comes from a real place of conservative ideological stagnation of a once progressive thinking that allows them to think that they're being progressive while also accommodating their transphobia. You can read more about it in this article which i think does a good job of explaining where it comes from.
Imagine being so hateful that a billion fucking dollars can't distract you from spending your day shitting on a highly marginalized group of people over Twitter.
What an abhorrent person.
What an abhorrent person.
So if I got this straight, she's saying Trans-women aren't "real" women because they were born with different generals?
Harry Potter aint the wave no more unless Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint, in character, make a video telling JK to shut up
I'm pretty sure she wasn't even back on Twitter at all pre-quarantine. Seems to be the reason why she has the time to post this shit, that and/or she doesn't feel pressure from anyone/any company she works with to keep the mask on now that she doesn't have a movie out anytime soon.
The book's just being used as cover, too, with all the RTing of kids' drawings. Which makes me more surprised that she threw out "fuck" here, honestly; mask was always gonna come off like this eventually but I thought she'd be a bit more careful about appearing child-appropriate with her bigotry after the last time.
The shitty TERF really is going full fucking TERF now isn't she. No holds barred on her fucking bigotry and hate.
Eat shit and die Rowling you scum.

Someone heavily involved with the HP franchise, like Daniel Radcliffe or Emma Watson, needs to make a video just telling her to shut the fuck up already.
HP is over and done, and all those famous people have moved on with their lives and families. JK is the only one who hasn't moved on, and appears to have become worse instead of achieving growth.
I have doubts that parents would even want to bring their kids into the mix to read works created by someone who's an openly hateful bigot.
there are plenty of other modern remixed fairy tales they can dig into that aren't hurt by association with a TERF.
And that trans woman don't suffer misoginy
and that trans men don't exist
and that trans person don't suffer for being trans
No respect for someone who used to be poor as dirt and on the margins of society sticking the boot into other marginalised people.
She probably gets off on this shit, that's why. Being on a mission. She'd listen to others if she were prepared to respect them.
Nothing is more definitive of having a shitty opinion than needing to share it publicly.
BEHOLD HER RESEARCH LOL
More TERF stuff
Literally all she does is read Terf stuff and ignore everything else
Right? Like, everyone is busy with COVID or BLM and she's inside her mansion, pacing around trying to think on how to hate on trans people without outright saying it.
She literally cannot stop dehumanizing them. What the hell is her problem? Why do TERF bastards feel the need to erase the Trans community? They insult and marginalize a community in the name of feminism, which an absolute perversion of the movement, and stands against everything real feminists have ever fought for.
Rowling has a freaking gall to say she isn't hateful, when she threatens people with lawyers the second they call out her transphobia. She uses her wealth and reach to signal boost hate, and crush any other voices. She is a garbage person, whose hatefulness needs to be brought up whenever possible. Make Warner Brothers have to denounce her, make this the conversation every time she spews some new useless HP factoid up, or there is a new game or film to promote.
Can twitter put a warning over her tweets like they did with trump the other day?, what with all the lies she is writing.
How long till she starts tagging her posts with #DroptheT?
They've still been involved with various HP things over the years, and it would not be surprising to see Cursed Child get a movie or something that gets the actors back. Like your point stands in general, but I wouldn't say they've exactly permanently distanced themselves from it or anything, and it would be good to see them speak up about her.
Beyond the passive-aggressive t-shirt thing Watson did (which I think was from a while ago, wasn't it), I don't any of them have really said anything about her to begin with...
EDIT: Ah, I see what you were getting for more with what you added. Never mind!
It took years of hundreds of thousands of people complaining to get Twitter to add a single fact check to a Trump tweet. They aren't doing shit here.
Unfortunately that is not possible as the book isn't free from Rowling's Bias and still is problematic in other areas
Harry Potter is not a good series.
They fear that their "safe" space are being invaded by what they see as "men in drags".
white feminism is very toxic and is not only laden with Trans phobia but also racism as well. So if you're a trans and not white...too bad no feminism for you. And what's worse they are empowered by white men.
TREF don't see Trans men as men.
I'd love to see a recommended reading list of solid YA/kids books that aren't written by such a terrible person. If she wants to be unrepentant, then she should face the fiscal consequences of that.
I think a lot of parents have defaulted to Harry Potter because it's the big "thing" and it's easy enough to read. It needs to be replaced in the public consciousness, and soon.
Hopefully Universal's Harry Potter areas also start floundering (just rebrand the butterbeer because that stuff was good). I couldn't in good conscience visit those these days. Doubt I'll be picking up the new game, either.

Friendly reminder that if you want to read a Harry Potter book in 2020, buying it from a used bookstore is the way to go. She won't see a dime from the sale and you'll be supporting a small business.
This
I still haven't got over this.
She is a writer that is MASTERFULL with her choice of words. There are thesis about how she uses foreshadowing in ways that you willl not notice but it was there the whole time.
And she chooses IF
I know I've seen that the author of the Animorphs series is a very supportive parent to a trans child, and that's on top of the fact that the core message of those books lands so much better than "harry becomes a cop"
Isn't all her tweets just one big Straw Man Argument?
Like, no is saying that sex doesn't exist or anything like that, what the fuck is she even talking about?

Oh that's rad
Also what kid wouldn't want all that amazing cover art on a shelf?
That is super shitty of Twitter to do nothing, I have still reported her tweets even though it wont make a difference.
What the actual fuck is she talking about? She seems to be conflating gender and sex all while making this straw man point that other trans and non-binary people existing somehow makes her... Less able to identify as a woman?
Does she understand that the movement for trans equality/acceptance isn't about people like her? She's going out of her way to interject herself in a discussion she has zero stake in.

Public perception of it has cratered a lot in the last decade or so as people woke up to its terrible politics and plothole-ridden writing, as well as the shitty stage play and new movies that Rowling insists on pumping out because she doesn't have enough money already.
