![]() No one is saying that you have to immediately stop loving HP or get your tattoos removed if you want to privately continue to love it then go ahead. A creator that we now know is a TERF (trans-exclusionary radical feminism), or by the name they prefer, a “gender-critical person.” The breaking point for many was after Rowling penned a 3,600-word transphobic manifesto (riddled with factual inaccuracy) to drive home the point of how much she continues to willfully misunderstand trans issues, trans rights, and trans people, and feels oppressed in standing up for her “convictions.” This left many fans, especially trans and gender-nonconforming folk and their allies, in a crisis: how to grapple with the fact that a creator whose work defined many of our lives was now perpetuating and doubling down on hateful rhetoric. ![]() In response, several stars of movies based on her books have publicly spoken out and distanced themselves from her transphobia, and businesses and sites that were linked with Harry Potter content-like MuggleNet and The Leaky Cauldron- condemned her anti-trans views. Rowling is not only incorrect and injurious, but she continues to actively do harm by promoting her transphobic ideology. After alarming hints of transphobic activity on Twitter and in her adult mystery series, author JK Rowling made it very clear in June 2020 that she believes trans people and their supporters are anti-woman and harmful to society. ![]()
