Edinburgh Tour Replacing Harry Potter Tours with LGBTQ+ History Walks Because of J.K. Rowling Comments

An Edinburgh-based tour company is making a significant shift this June by replacing its popular Harry Potter-themed walking tours with LGBT

Public outcry makes a difference.

Boycotting makes a difference.

We can make a difference.

I keep seeing posts from people who claim they will be blocking anyone who posts any content from the new Harry Potter show that begins airing in December.

So I wanted to say you’re all being ridiculous. You consume media all the time by actual rapists. You watch movies with actors who have killed people. You read books written by racists and homophobes. All. The. Time. And it is so unimportant to you that half the time, you don’t even know.

This business with JK Rowling is a witch hunt. She follows a different kind of feminism than you do. And sometimes she’s a little rude about it. (But we don’t tone police here.) She has never put hands on anyone. She has started charities with her own money. And she is an outspoken advocate for women experiencing domestic violence.

She has expressed acceptance for LGBT people, yes including trans people. She just does not believe a person can genuinely change their sex, that some ‘inclusive’ terminology dehumanizes women and that sex segregated spaces are necessary to protect women.

There is a reason that JKR is being derided the way she is, and it’s not because she’s the worst person in the world. And if you step back, if you read her words, you’ll see why.

Anyway, keep putting Harry Potter content on my feed.

for those of you who don't know, jk rowljng donated £70k to an organisation of Scottish women who wanted the legal definition of a woman to be based on biological sex alone in the uk. today they had this ruled for in court.

the legal definition of a woman in the uk is now based purely on biological sex, which will likely fuel the deconstruction of laws made to protect trans people and fuel fresh transphobic bigotry in the uk. we are however, still legally protected from discrimination.

the worst part of this is that news reports have been treating this as a good thing. jk rowling is painted as an amazing person. after not only spreading hate speech, but actively funding the discrimination of trans people.

fuck harry potter. fuck jkr. fuck YOU if youre even considering watching or supporting this shit. jkr takes any support or consumption of her slop as support for her poisonous bigotry.

do not hate watch. do not pirate it. just let. it. die.

anyways, support a trans woman instead. on kofi in fact. supporters get monthly shoutouts and monthly supporters get to see my art early.
