Accio criticism! J.K. Rowling has been receiving a lot of well-deserved flak lately. As a trans person, I’m here for it. Her capacity for nonsense is as boundless as the Forbidden Forest. I mean, she’s opening a women’s resources center in Edinburgh that literally turns away trans women! That’s like opening a halfway house for wayward Hogwarts students and then turning away all the Gryffindors! I guess that’s why she’s interested in making a “halfway house” anyway, because it’s only halfway useful. Sure, it’s good that she’s trying to start an organization that “helps women,” but if it turns away certain women then it’s really not “helping women” after all?
Personally, I think she needs to take her ass to Platform 9 and 3/4 and walk into a couple walls. Maybe that’ll get her head back on straight.
