Do you really think the only reason I or anyone else might be more upset about JK Rowling than John Boyne is that Boyne is a man The only reason anyone even knows who John Boyne is is that he's a TERF Nobody actually read his shitty bookhttps://twitter.com/MFnP/status/1287076250205528066 …

Also, Rowling seems worse, I think, independently of their relative fame. Boyne's done two things I'm aware of. First, he wrote that book, which from what I've heard sounds more like cis nonsense that fell backwards into transphobia than some cogent political message.

And, second, he wrote that nonsense article about how no one should call him cis cause he's a big baby about it. Pretty obviously transphobic, and I call him transphobic over it, but it's again not clearly some political movement.

Rowling, meanwhile, has seemingly made it her life's mission to reheat every piece of TERF garbage she's seen over the last however many years, slipping herself seamlessly into a major hate campaign that threatens lives.

Rowling is actively pushing the "transing kids is conversion therapy" meme and advocating to shut down Tavistock and this is by far -- BY FAR -- the most damaging cause any TERF could put their efforts behind

It's why Jesse Singal is still at the top of the list for Worst Media TERFs and he always will be no matter how often he gets people's fucking pronouns right

(Understand that I'm not saying stuff like bathroom policing or transmisogynistic violence is unimportant I'm saying the "They're taking your kids" talking point is the source from which all the other violence flows, it's the most powerful weapon in their arsenal)
