“you’re just not paying attention because you’re not a trans ally”

yeah so basically anyone paying attention to trans issues knows about JKR. I don’t think I said all harry potter fans are transphobic, so that was a fun little thing for you to make up I guess, but I would say that fans of Harry Potter who don’t know the controversy are not trans allies. She is the anti-trans celebrity. Her letter was huge news.

Harry Potter fans have likely at least seen one or two hate comments about the video game or something. Stop bring so disingenuous… most people are online regularly … particularly the generation of Harry Potter fans. You don’t need to be terminally online to have heard about the wealthiest author in the world turning into the most prominent anti-trans advocate.

How am I playing the victim when I am just calling you dismissive? Hmm

You realize that new kids are born every year right? I was a kid when the GameCube was out and had no experience with NES whatsoever… didn’t matter. And it played Super Mario Sunshine which was btw incredible, as well as shooters.

hmm I wonder why I might be “dramatic” over a topic that impacts me and most of the people I love most. hmmm.

not buying your ignorance explanation anymore, you seem really dismissive.

Maybe don’t speak so confidently on trans issues when you aren’t trans! Esp considering the transmed vibe you have given off, inadvertantly or no. Just stop speaking for other people.

And I rewrote the comment in caps not out of anger towards you, but out of a desire for clarity for anyone who reads it. Don’t take everything so personally. If you use transmed talking points, even inadvertantly, expect to be called an asshole. Same thing goes if you were to spout any bigoted talking points you didn’t understand.

She is a monster, just like Anita Bryant. The result of her activism is trans kids commiting suicide after being on YEARS long wait lists. Maybe if people you cared about were being denied healthcare for years, you would call the person advocating for that denial a monster too

Anyway, I don’t care about people like you who only care about semantics so uh yeah 🖕🏻If me calling people a monster and being angry is going to dissuade people from supporting trans rights, let’s be real they were not supporters to begin with and are looking for the flimsiest excuse.

Monster is an adult criticism because she’s a fucking monster.

Did you read the OP’s comment and explanation? That I was replying to? You actually seem lost. You’re trying so hard to be condescending but boo… like did you read the comment?

Yeah head canons make sense in fandom, but you’re just putting your head in the sand and then saying “lol I don’t care”

It’s not a “different opinion”, it’s denying people’s identities which can lead to people denying trans healthcare. It’s a huge asshole take.

JKR has been incredibly vocal and actively pushing for anti-trans legislation. It’s not a secret, and there are many people who vocally do not care and support her anyway.

Literally just look at JK Rowling’s twitter feed on any given day, it’s not a secret, you’re just not paying attention bc you’re not a trans ally.

Her rhetoric has been incredibly influential. She is like Anita Bryant. Absolute fucking monster.

It’s not extreme. She is the most active, vocal, and prominent anti-trans advocate out there. She is a huge part of the push that is ruining people’s lives in the UK.

she’s a terf. if you haven’t heard that by now idk how you found Lemmy.

The downvotes are because you dared to be trans.

Someone literally just shared their experience as a trans person, and it was downvoted. Maybe listen to what the commenter said, instead of just down voting it?

this post literally has something to do with trans people because a trans person posted it and shared how they felt, as a trans person, when receiving this message.

but go ahead, discredit trans people by saying we have a “victim complex”. it outs you immediately as a transphobe so it’s useful for me

That person’s understanding of trans identity is not common. Most nonbinary people consider themselves to be trans.

in what way was I an asshole in this comment exchange? pointing out transphobic behavior? I can live with that
