I’ve watched ISIS behead my friends, Neo Nazis try (and fail) to murder me, and I’ll say it: no one should harm JK Rowling for her harmful, idiotic opinions.
That said —
“This [trans] movement” poses the HORRID risk of… my kid being treated like an EQUAL HUMAN BEING.
“Hundreds” of threats convince JK Rowling that “this [trans] movement” poses a risk to women (sexist AF btw; trans men exist).
Such an imaginative author, it’s damn pathetic she can’t dream up any empathy for…
… trans people literally just trying to survive every damn day.
I utterly hate the fact that we live in a world where my kid needs and deserves to be congratulated, protected, and celebrated for simply… openly existing as who he is.
That’s bullshit and JK Rowling’s ilk are the reason why.
I hope no harm ever comes to JK Rowling.
I hope the miserable woman survives to 125 and the fullest of all her wretched crone years as the living fossil she already is, watching the world leave her behind:
An example of who NEVER to be.
I’m already mad because insomnia and
Not today, JK Rowling.
NOT. TODAY.
My all-time favorite act of revenge against JK Rowling is the opening page of @jackisnotabird’s memoir (“Sorted” - go buy it):
Finally and in conclusion (for now):
I’m boring vanilla cishet but also gender norms are stupid and idgaf so if your family sucks and there’s no one else — you’ve got me at least.
Need an adoptive mom (or kid — trans parents need families too), lemme know.
You deserve love.
Thread postscript:
Now that you’re finished with my rant, I just had to add a thread I just saw.
I've always known that "step" before "kid" doesn't mean anything, but oh my God - I guess this feeling is "maternal impulse" and it hit DIFFERENT tonight, my friends.

“Matt Heimbach was a Neo Nazi, then wasn’t, but is again? Why are you even giving him attention?”
Stop.
The CVE community needs to learn from this heinous mistake ASAP because it was communicated in advance, is inexcusable, dangerous, and has done plenty of damage already.
I've had a bootleg copy of Abigail Shrier's book for a year (I wasn't about to pay), but just got around to reading it.
And ohhhhhh do I have some thoughts, Twitter.
When someone searches "transgender" or "trans teen" on amazon, Shrier's book is one of the top results - with glowing reviews and a "best seller" badge.
I can't imagine anything worse.
An openly hateful, explicitly anti-trans/queer author would be far less dangerous.
I'm going to take the time Shrier's "book" (trying to not get banned from Twitter here) that it deserves, so I'll keep it short for now -- and will write a blog post reviewing it later.
