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

You're talking about the woman who named an Asian character "Cho Chang"

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

If a non-Anglophone writer called a character "Smith Jones" as though this was a perfectly typical English name, of course you'd get complaints because it's not. It's not completely impossible, but it's so overwhelmingly more likely its a stereotype borne of bad research.

Yeah look you can argue that JK Rowling is allowed to put whatever dumb shit she wants because they're children's fiction That's true enough as far as it goes But then you don't get to use those dumb shitty books as an argument that she's an intelligent, well-informed person

Well you're just as ignorant and ill-informed as she is, then, because that statement was a vacuous load of empty rhetoric
