The Fact That People Are Boycotting JK Rowling For Her Blatant Transphobia And Not Mentioning Her Blatant

The fact that people are boycotting JK Rowling for her blatant transphobia and not mentioning her blatant racism exemplifies why people are white before they are trans or gay.

The Wizarding school North America (Ivermory) is riddled with blatant appropriation of Native American cultures, but no one gave a shit.

Magical Maladies and Injuries: Cultural Appropriation in J. K. Rowling’s Ilvermorny

Although the final book in the Harry Potter saga, The Deathly Hallows, was published almost a decade ago, J. K. Rowling has been quietly bui

But no one gave a shit until she started starting transphobic rhetoric.

She literally takes Native American beliefs and... I don't know what the words are for this bullshit. Misrepresents them to capitalize on them? Appropriates them? Completely ignores the original beliefs in order to make up her own?

JK Rowling under fire for writing about 'Native American wizards'

History of Magic in North America, being serialised on Rowling’s Pottermore website, attacked for using an ancient culture ‘as a convenient

Although the new insights into the universe of Harry Potter were welcomed by many, the author was strongly criticised online by a number of voices from Native American communities, particularly over her writing about skinwalkers, which in Navajo legend are said to be evil witches or wizards who can take on the form of animals.

Rowling writes that the myth “has its basis in fact … A legend grew up around the Native American Animagi, that they had sacrificed close family members to gain their powers of transformation. In fact, the majority of Animagi assumed animal forms to escape persecution or to hunt for the tribe. Such derogatory rumours often originated with No-Maj medicine men, who were sometimes faking magical powers themselves, and fearful of exposure.”

Responding to a question on Twitter, Rowling said that “in my wizarding world, there were no skinwalkers”, with the legend created by those without magic “to demonise wizards”.

But yeah. The transphobia is why we're boycotting her.

(This isn't to say the transphobia is okay or to minimize trans issues. This is to point out that white people only care about issues that effect other white people.)

Look. All I'm saying is if you're going to make a post about why we don't like JK Rowling. Say "we aren't going to support JK Rowling because of her racism and transphobia."

Not to mention. How shitty of a writer must you be if you can't create b your own myths and legends? The fact that she's gotta steal from others completely exemplifies how shitty of an author she is.

“May I?” “You may.”

Friendly reminder not to go see the new Fantastic Beasts movie in theater or on a streaming service!! All your doing is supporting a Terf if you do so, and saying that you think a stupid movie matters more than actual trans people and their rights :))  (and before any of you fuckers open your mouth I’m pretty sure shes actively involved in politics and basically runs a smear campaign against trans people on twitter)

fuck JKR

If you DO want to see it at LEAST consider donating an equal or higher amount to a trans or queer charity or just pirate it

Have a nice day

Jk Rowling has got to be the dumbest person on the planet. She had all the goodwill and adoration in the world and threw it all away to be transphobic on Twitter. Like millions of people in my generation would've been buried with their fav Harry Potter book and now we will despise her for the rest of our lives. She's so anti-trans she chose to destroy her entire legacy to be a terf lmao

people misunderstand what ‘gifted kid’ actually means but it’s ok it’s fine it’s cool it’s good
