    Is JK Rowling's transphobic stance problematic? Yes. Has it caused people to re-evaluate the Harry Potter series and notice all the many flaws? Definitely. BUT is it quite clearly a betrayal of the very idea of love that the books claim to represent? Yes. 100x yes.

        (It's not tho, that's a common transphobic mischaracterisation)

        Thanks for the insights up until now - was interesting to follow you, but that journey ends here. If you felt she was transphobic, please post a link - but this is ideology and not science.

        Her stance is not transphobic. Such a shame you’ve turned out to be blinkered.

        Sisyphus with a hat Retweeted Jack Turban MD  🏳️‍🌈 🧠

        Very sad. The following sums the whole TERF phenomenon up really well. Longish article but well articulated .https://twitter.com/jack_turban/status/1279830570919317504?s=19 …

        In case you’re wondering where @jk_rowling’s #transphobic ideas are coming from, @transscribe summarizes the movement @voxdotcom. It’s a movement with close ties to right-wing conservatives & the religious right, including @Heritage & @AllianceDefends. https://www.vox.com/identities/2019/9/5/20840101/terfs-radical-feminists-gender-critical …

        What a way to mischaracterize her stance, but alas, this is 2020.

        Wow a lot of people on here really stan Rowland. Here statements were absolutely transphobic and had everything to do with science. An author with no medical knowledge should not be making statements about horomone therapy. Thank you Gid

        What do you think of self-id XY in women's prisons? I'm not a fan. Rape relief and shelters shouldn't have this to deal with: 1) https://www.vancourier.com/news/vancouver-rape-relief-targeted-with-vandalism-threats-over-transgender-controversy-1.23929856 … 2) https://www.womenarehuman.com/male-transgender-boasts-of-harassing-women-in-crisis-shelter/ …

        Replying to @ReliefBelief @GidMK

        Would you say that XY men are known to be more violent than XX women? And are you suggesting that that would change once one self id's from XY to woman? Was there a reason for segregating prisons to begin with do you think? If so, what?
