Trans Twitter, can you be a good ally to trans communities while still publicly expressing love for Harry Potter and partaking in the fandom?
And does your answer change if you know that JK Rowling claimed that her fans are a silent majority of transphobes who agree with her, using them as support for her position?
If anyone cares about my views, I’m tending towards no. You obviously can actually love it—that’s all fine. My concerns start with publicly professing love and engaging in fandoms, because that’s where it starts breathing life into her cultural power and transphobia.

Gender identity is complicated and honestly if it wasn’t for the fact that my womanhood was constantly called into question, I’d probably have openly expressed my ambiguous identification to non-binariness much earlier.
The truth is that I aggressively do not care what my gender identity is, have no idea what it really means to feel like a certain gender, and only claim words to the extent that it makes people act towards me in the ways I desire.
You’re allowed not to know your gender. I’m allowed not to know my gender. The requirement that we label ourselves to be granted recognition is liberal hogwash that cares about choices in the abstract rather than in substance.

Alright, everyone! I have decided that today is “Florence shows off papers and tries to get cited” day. Buckle up! All of the papers listed can be accessed for free on my website:

This is my very first publication, which inspired the first special issue on trans law in Canadian history. It talks about how hate crime laws fail to protect trans people because they are based on misconceptions about the nature of transphobic violence.

Some places like the UK make it a crime not to tell someone you’re trans before having sex. This paper argues that thick conceptions of privacy rooted in equality do a better job against these laws than ‘trans men are real men’.

C'est avec grand plaisir que j'ai collaboré à cette première anthologie francophone portant sur l'approche trans-affirmative en santé des jeunes trans. Mon chapitre porte sur l'aspect légal des approche thérapeutiques.

Lire: florenceashley.com/uploads/1/2/4/… ImageImage
J'y explique comment l'approche correctrice viole les principes de la responsabilité professionnel, sort aussi voué à l'approche vigilante dans un futur rapproché. En fin de compte, seule l'approche trans-affirmative respecte tant l'esprit que la lettre du droit de la santé.

Power doesn’t extend free speech to marginalized groups. I have a friend who’s facing multiple forms of academic punishment including a year of delay in their studies for standing up to transphobia. Why? Because apparently vocal self-advocacy is “disrespectful.”
Those using slurs and spreading discriminatory views are constantly defended as merely exercising their free speech, but when marginalized people complain about their oppression, merely raising one’s voice becomes disrespectful, unprofessional aggression that warrants a sanction.
Power has structured freedom of expression around tone, ensuring that those who harm can get off scot-free so long as they dehumanize with a smile. But if you are rightfully angry towards those who harass, discriminate, and harm? That falls outside the purview of free speech.

How nerdy are you? I can tell you race, class, spec, and profession of this character as well as which raid it’s from. I can also identify the classes of 19 of the 25 players, and I know the specs of a few of them. Might be 20, but I’m not sure about one of the icons.
Let's flex. From the spells we can tell it's a Tauren elemental shaman that plays engineering. War stomp on the bars, elemental-only spells, and there's boots, cloak, and belt in bar which means on-use engineering enchants.
The raid is easy. We can tell it's Twin Val'kyr fight from Trial of the Crusader in Wrath of the Lich King (2009), and it's in 25-person mode based on how many people there are in the raid frames.
