Yea. The woman who said trans woman aren’t “real” (biological sex) women is a monster.
To be fair, she isn’t a passive bystander she’s actively making things worse.
“No shE just WaNtS tO prOTecT WoMeN fROM BIoloGICal MALes. Why can’t you let her have her own opinion?”
I agree; that’s why I called her the monster.
JKR is a uniquely self-aware monster. Her fame and fortune were built on a franchise in which its own villains are just caricatures of JKR’s traits.
Most people who promote evil do it through an elaborate mental gymnastics routine to try to rationalize their awful behavior. Not JKR - she called herself out by personifying her own traits specifically as the ‘bad guys’. No effort to rationalize their fictional behavior or explain why wizard-Hitler is actually misunderstood but raises some good points in the interests of wizard-1930s-Germany. Nope. Just a very clear copy and paste of her own values onto the HP lore, and a very clear label within that lore that those values are evil and something anyone with a shed of good in them should actively fight against to their dying breath.
I can’t think of a single other person that is both that level of self aware and still absolutely evil.
This just dawned on me not long ago. Like how does someone write the character of Lucius Malfoy and then go “what if I used my tremendous wealth and influence to lobby ceaselessly against people who transitioned into my category from the more dominant one, and who already tend to be discriminated against violently as a result? I could maybe use a theatrical rhetoric of victimization to distract from my very shady alliances.”
Like wtf lady you know that makes you the bad guy you literally wrote a series of books explaining it to children.
Oddly enough the guy that plays Malfoy is the only one that’s actually still on her side in the public sphere. It’s not necessary consequential but I think it’s interesting.
The guy who played Voldemort actually. Makes me wonder if he’s agreeing with her as a troll.
This quote doesn’t even make any sense. Apathy is not the opposite of empathy.
Because she’s really not a good author. The morals in Harry Potter are basic and inconsistent.
Yes, I would also put antipathy in opposition, but maybe I am just a better writer.
Edit: it really is just a wish.com variant of the MLK Jr. quote about the words of our enemies — something, something — not as bad as the silence of our friends.

She’s doing it because she secretly wants to be a guy.

It doesn’t because it’s actually true.
JK Rowling has actually made comments about how if she were young, the “gender ideology” would have her “turning herself into a boy”, and that in the 80’s she “Sometimes thought about wanting to be one.”
Queerphobes are usually queer, that’s their motivation for oppressing their fellow queers. Because they’re told that part of themselves is wrong, so they seek to “purge themselves” and become “Pure in God’s eyes”

Why? I didn’t do anything wrong.
