| Anyway, trans rights.
I found this here: https://www.teepublic.com/sticker/11245925-undesirable-no-1
This is so funny to me. Harry Potter was Undesirable no. 1 because of propaganda. Harry was right the whole time about Voldemort. He was Undesirable no. 1 because the government accused him of being involved in Dumbledore’s murder. J.K. Rowling is now Undesirable no. 1 because people are accusing her of being responsible for the deaths of trans people and for perpetuating hate. Of course, she has done neither of those things.
All J.K. Rowling did was speak the truth. All Harry Potter did was speak the truth.
No one wanted to listen to Harry and no one wants to listen to J.K. Rowling. No one believed Harry and no one wants to believe J.K. Rowling.
Harry Potter was blamed and shunned by his classmates/the Dursleys/the wizarding world-at-large several times throughout the books. Now J.K. Rowling is being shunned by what appears to be (I don’t actually believe those claiming to hate her are being honest, it’s just safer to be on the bandwagon) the majority of the people who enjoy her work.
Happy Birthday J.K. Rowling and Harry Potter. You both stand up for what you know is right in the face of tremendous backlash. Such a brave character and such a brave woman.
J.K. Rowling is most likely transphobic, to a degree.
And it's breaking my heart.
If you've seen my other posts, you know I'm one of her most vocal defenders. But there's no getting around the stance she chose to take on this.
I understand if she wants to argue that it wasn't a fire-able offense, that's a debate that can be had...but it sounds like she doesn't disagree with the notion of two unchangeable sexes.
Joanne, if by some chance you see this, please educate yourself. I believe this is coming from a place of ignorance, not bigotry. But it's your responsibility to learn and grow, and to be better. For the most part, your politics are fantastic. Don't be on the wrong side of history for this.
You can do better. Harry taught us that no one deserves to live in a closet. You created him, and the wide, wonderful world he comes from. You have more imagination than most people. So open your mind a little.
you have nothing to fear, if you have nothing to hide

At least three more Harry Potter movies
On Wednesday, Warner Bros. CEO Kevin Tsujihara said that there will be “at least a trilogy” of movies based on J.K. Rowling’s book Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. The three movies will be released in 2016, 2018, and 2020.

If you want to see the true measure of a man, watch how he treats his inferiors, not his equals.
