Legit there& #39;s a lot of horror people right now bringing up Buffalo Bill or Psycho Re: Rowling not realizing that those characters have -long- been controversial in LGBT circles.

If you missed the discourse around those characters, you need more LGBT horror fans in your life. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👍" title="Thumbs up" aria-label="Emoji: Thumbs up">

It should also be noted however that those characters came from different eras, and a lot of the response to JK Rowling& #39;s novel right now has more to do with her continued and militant transphobia more than anything.

You can& #39;t exactly trust her to tackle that subject matter well

Like imagine if someone had just spent a whole year spouting racist shit on social media and then announced their latest book was about black people.

You wouldn& #39;t really trust they& #39;d be tackling that subject matter with good intentions.

It should -also- be noted that "cis man dressing like a woman to rape/kill women" is literally the propaganda TERFs and conservatives have been using to argue against various Trans rights.

So the plot of her book... Is literally the anti-trans narrative.

So you have a well-known, outspoken TERF writing a book using a TERF propaganda narrative as the basis of her book - Is it really surprising Trans people don& #39;t trust her to write something awful?

I understand a lot of this is new to some of you. And that& #39;s fine, I was dumb as fuck about this shit a few years ago.

My tweet thread here is merely to help ya understand. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👍" title="Thumbs up" aria-label="Emoji: Thumbs up">
