Even the self-described feminists celebrating the Supreme Court’s attempt to banish trans people from womanhood will pay a heavy price.

    I honestly think she considers herself an “honorary man” at this point, no joke. That picture on the yacht with the cocktail & cigar were… well, she has written villains herself, I can’t understand she doesn’t see the parallels. The only explanation is that she does and that she embraces it 100%

    Also, as a man; we really don’t want her.

        really wild take here but I’ve had this pet theory of mine that Rowling actually would like to identify as a man (technically already did as Robert Galbraith) but because she is AFAB and has experienced a lot of misogynistic antagonation throughout the years - she can’t in good conscious do so as she feels she would be betraying women the world over.

        I feel this would explain why she experiences intense transphobia and why she sees transfemmes as “men in disguise” (trauma response from cis men) as well as dismissal of transmascs (if I had to suffer in a patriarchal world, so do you and you’re not allowed to opt out by “pretending” to be a man)

        could be totally off the mark but I feel it wouod explain a lot 🤷
