i don’t think everyone who works on the harry potter show shares jk rowling’s views on trans rights.
however, excluding the children, i do think they all decided that a fat check mattered more than not being part of a project that’ll fund her anti-trans crusade for years to come
It bears repeating today: the women celebrating the UK supreme court ruling do not speak for me. History shows that the rights of women and the rights of trans people will rise and fall together. My safety as a cis woman will never spring from the persecution of trans women.
"She's a feminist not an anti-trans extremist."
Well let's see what she has to say on the most prominent issues for feminist campaigners in the UK today. The ones that don't have anything to do with trans people.
Attacking the rights of a marginalised group isn’t a win for feminism.
Demanding that women be defined by our biology isn't a win for feminism.
The people driving this are not acting in the interests of women. They're taking us all backwards and ushering in the far right.
I share the deep disappointment in today's Supreme Court ruling, and the concerns about what this will mean for trans women going forward.
Today and every day, I stand in unwavering solidarity with the trans community.
We must never stop fighting for trans rights.
Exactly. TV doesn’t need to pander to the sensitivities of bigots who can’t handle something as normal and simple as diversity on screen. We’ll leave that foolish divisiveness to politicians and transphobic children’s fantasy authors.
I was so looking forward to seeing tis the damn season and tolerate it live, as two of my all time favourite Taylor Swift songs...
And now they've been cut from the set list...
I see a lot of people claiming that Rowling is too rich for a boycott to make an impact, which feels like a cheap way for someone to justify spending their money on cheap tat and pretending it's frivolous. When someone is wealthy, it still matters when you give them more.
On #InternationalWomensDay I'm thinking of women around the world facing danger and injustice.
Whether giving birth displaced and under siege in Gaza, fleeing war and sexual violence in Sudan, or denied education and employment in Afghanistan.
The feminist struggle is global.
only one woman director in the best director category in a year filled with outstanding movies made by women? no best director nomination for the woman who directed the most talked about film in 2023?
Colleagues who start messages with "Sorry to message you on your non-working day..." just stop.
If you're sorry to message me on my non-working day then don't.
