@lolbittius@GarfieldThefag@bambicina I'm not saying you're necessarily wrong. But why do you have to insist that she can't literally be trans. Why do you care this much about this actually quite small distinction between a trans "allegory" and a literal trans character.
Petra Parker is the rare cultural phenomenon where the immense amount of people managed to portray a trans woman without shying away from ugly realities of dysphoria, yet simultaneously not turning her into a troonjak validslop garbo. Once in a lifetime shit, gotta cherish it
@burnthelilacs no they don't, this person *is* experiencing transmisogyny, they don't *want* to, they're just trying to recognize what they're experiencing. The conflict between what is obviously true and what outdated formal definitions tell them is happening is what's causing this
@ellagoer_t4t@burnthelilacs if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, I guess it somehow isn't a duck this time because of weird special reasons (the special reason is bioessentialism)
@ukrsiberian Imagine if this was said about a butchfemme pairing. Why do you feel the need to do this? It's already queer, it involves a trans person. And even if it didn't, why do you need this desperate, ridiculously bigoted justification for liking a straight ship?
I think we can officially say that the backlash to Reddit atheism has lashed back into a backlash to the backlash to Reddit atheism, and I'm here for it. I'll never forget my roots.
@Bonck87@RollingStone The issue is that even if they wanted to (which is unclear, you know how Dems are) they might get state charges piled on, and since this is Texas, there's nothing that could be done about those
What JK Rowling is doing is more effective and more efficient than direct violence against trans people would be. Social systems of murder are still murder. Brian Thompson was a mass murderer, and so is Rowling.
@PsychicCancer@PopCrave It is not like jk rowling is outside with a gun shooting to every trans people she sees. She is wrong obviously but I love harry potter and you bitches cant call me transphobic nor make me feel in the wrong bc i like me some wizard books
