This is the lowest, meanest, vilest form of weaponization To claim that you're being attacked if someone offers even the slightest kindness to your victims To argue - and to truly believe - that your healing and liberation can only happen with your boot on someone else's neck

I love how dan specifically said. "I don't want this to come off as me attacking jo, I just want to say that I personally believe that trans women are women." and people are still acting like he personally showed up at Joke Rowboat's house and shot her with a harpoon gun

I'm still gobsmacked that he said "Trans people know their own issues much better than I or JKR do" and people jumped on him for it "Just because you're ignorant doesn't mean you get to accuse JKR of ignorance"

Like holy fucking shit they actually literally do believe JKR is an authority on trans people's lives because she's been reading TERF blog posts for a couple years

Yes, if you've done exactly zero research into the matter, which is about what I expect from the lady who named a Japanese magic school "Magic Place" and then translated it wrong

Okay and some names are made up in a way that shows the person is capable of doing research and some are made up in a way that makes them look like a sloppy lazy racist

Anyway, the point isn't that Cho Chang is a stupid name, the point is that JKR is, herself, and I do not say this lightly, stupid Or to put it more carefully, "incurious" She doesn't know very much about the world and she also doesn't care
