This Bitch: JK Rowling

Oh sure, she gave us the Harry Potter books, filled with people who are different, but JK Rowling is still a transphobic bigot.

Last month, on the Transgender Day of Remembrance, comedian Holly Stars, actor Georgia Frost, and drag performer Richard Energy, all trans activists, protested outside Rowling’s home carrying signs that read:

“Trans liberation now! "

“Don’t be a cissy!"

“Trans rights are human rights!” 

They were responding to Rowling’s long history of transphobia, where she has repeatedly attacked the validity of trans identities, portrayed trans women as threats to cis women’s safety, promoted conversion therapy for trans people, and even promoted vile merchandise with anti-transgender messages.

And how did Rowling respond? She took to Twitter to claim that her address was visible in a photo that Stars, Frost and Energy posted online, and said she had called the police, though it is unclear what crime was committed.

Then Rowling, who claims to be against people being “hounded on social media” a posted the names of the three activists on her Twitter, comparing their protest to rape threats and asked her 14 million Flying Monkey followers on Twitter to attack them.

She’s a vile disgusting hate-filled human being who ought to stick to writing fantasy about people being equal whether wizards or muggles, or half-bloods because, in the real world, she is hate. She perpetuates hate against trans people, especially transwomen who are routinely murdered simply because they are trans.

That ain’t fantasy, y’all, that’s fact!
