Tag me with your chest, Novuyo. We’ve done a panel together, after all. Pointing out that Chimamanda and Aminatta (and apparently you as well) are transphobic is holding them accountable, not trying to destroy them. https://twitter.com/NovuyoRTshuma/status/1328417346474680320 …

Actually, never mind, I’m blocking you for this load of bullshit. Adichie’s language towards trans people does precisely all this, yet you keep insisting she is the victim. You don’t care about harm done to trans people. https://twitter.com/NovuyoRTshuma/status/1328652043876245506?s=20 …

For all of you clinging to Adichie’s ‘apology’ and ‘LGBTQ activism’—there are so many resources explaining why her views are transphobic, why trans women do not actually have male privilege, why it is harmful to claim they do, but y’all are not interested in learning.

Her staunch support of JKR means that she agrees with JKR’s views, which she has called ‘progressive’ and ‘perfectly reasonable’. Those views include not letting trans kids transition, even though it’s been shown that the suicide rates drop when they’re allowed to.

As @IjeomaOluo said:https://twitter.com/IjeomaOluo/status/1328462745759408128?s=20 …

This is precisely why in Pet, Jam is affirmed by her parents, supported in her gender, given access to puberty blockers and hormone therapy, because I wanted to show young trans readers what a supportive family looks like, because that is what we fucking deserve.
