Did she write Series of Unfortunate Events?

-
no, she didn't
-
The times she's opened her mouth lately have certainly been a series of unfortunate events
-

I mean, the tweet she liked is itself transphobic too, talking about "men in dresses" making women unsafe. Like. There's no way for her to argue out of that one.
-
yeah, i just figured it would also be good to show exactly who she's supporting too

I feel like there's too many people attacking her lately for getting involved in things that aren't author-related. She's not just an author, she's a human being. Start treating her like one.
-
so are trans women and that ain't stopping her
-
I really don't want to have an argument about this, don't start with me please.
-
If you don't want an argument then don't try to start one lmao

"Can't I just bandy about my ill-informed bigoted opinions without being challenged!? What is even happening to America!"

JK Rowling isn't even an American and my opinions are well-informed.

JK Rowling in all her bravery tweets out "voldemort was a trans woman, lavender brown was a natural born female", with an accompanying hashtag "representation"
-
who is surprised that the brilliant mind behind the name "cho chang", in fact, has a western-centric view on gender identity
-
was cho chang a character in her novels??????????
-
she was harry's love interest for a bit starting in the third book and then she just sort of disappeared inexplicably. She was in the movies too! The actress who played her wrote a slam poem about how awful it was https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iFPWwx96Kew …
-
... and then I googled it to be sure and actually that's not the actress someone on tumblr lied to meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee the real actress is Katie Leung ahhhh that's embarrassing, gonna leave the tweet up for its first half anyway
-
The slam poem is really amazing though, and worth checking out.

Concerning, but giving her a moment to clarify. Maybe she only read the first half of that tweet?
-
She's a well published author of a giantly successful franchise. She should be able to read tweets without issue.
-
Right, because nobody ever skims anything. The first half of that tweet is something I would fav too. I'd like to see her clarify.
-
she's liked tweets like this in the past as well, just for the record. this is repeated behaviour
-
It’s ok though because there was at least one transgender student in Hogwarts somewhere at some point
-
Ron's pet rat identifies is non-bunary
-
of course the trans person is the villain, for shame.
-
But that's okay, the fact they're trans won't get brought up anywhere in the story, she'll just mention it off hand in an interview or tweet ten years down the road after she made all the money from conservative fans, now please shower her in praise for being so progressive!
