“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 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'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.
