big problem on here is a lot of people seem to think just being transgender makes you a sensible political theorist

juneberryjammin

being transgender doesn't even make you a sensible gender theorist

do you think insight can be gained about an author from the stories they write?

no. authors are like squids and can only be understood through spirited but ultimately futile combat

they told me not to get lost in the weeds, but these are lush, beautiful, and ecologically necessary native plants so it's probably fine

We're at the "JK Rowling is personally funding litigation to try and destroy AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL" stage of rabid UK terf brain.

Screenshot via Alejandra Caraballo @esqueer.net on bluesky

Tldr Amnesty International, global human rights organisation, published a report called 'A growing threat: the anti-rights movement in the UK'. In it is detailed, amongst others, a whole bunch of transphobic groups and organisations, including Beira's Place, JK Rowling's trans exclusionary sexual violence support service. JK Rowling threw a shit fit and got Amnesty to take the report down by threatening libel. This was obviously not enough, because you can't appease a fascist, so now she's going to bankroll a bunch of lawsuits anyway through the JK Rowling Women's Fund.*

You can read an archived version of the report here, please save it and share it.

*Not so friendly reminder there is no way to engage in the wizard books without enabling this shit.

"They came in the night and took him away, and we stayed here on the moon."

"I'm glad to be here," she said. "Thank you for bringing me."

It's interesting that Charles treats Merricat like a child. Of course Merricat is twelve years old in every way that matters, she stopped time when she killed her parents. And this idea makes perfect sense within Merricat's worldview, because she thinks in terms of rituals and symbols and magic.

But Charles doesn't think in those terms. He sees things in the conventional way of the outside world. And in this way of seeing things, Merricat is eighteen.

Of course there is a control element, it suits him to treat her like a child because then he can try to claim the power over her that adults have over children. And Merricat is clearly rather... strange, she obviously behaves like a child and her older sister treats her like one, and an outsider would notice this and take it into account.

But also. The clash between Merricat and Charles is obviously about which of them is the rightful owner of the Blackwood house. And so it's also about whose worldview will win out, because Charles is the rightful owner in his and Merricat in hers. By treating Merricat as a twelve-year-old, even if he does it in an attempt to assert control, Charles is adopting an element of Merricat's worldview, based in magic and ritual and symbolism. And by accepting that she is twelve, he's also accepting that she can, by her actions, freeze time and keep things in stasis. Even while he attempts to establish himself as patriarch, he's ceding ground to her in a way he doesn't realise, and letting Merricat and Constance determine an element of his reality. It's an early sign that Merricat is stronger and more unyielding, that her worldview is superior and her faith in it more intense, and that she's going to win.
