Harry Potter -kirjailija J.K. Rowling on saanut jo toistamiseen transfobia-syytteet niskaansa twiitattuaan omia ajatuksiaan maailman menosta.
Alta löydät ihmiset suututtaneet twiitit. Niissä Rowling puolustaa transihmisten oikeuksia, mutta ihmettelee samalla, miten sukupuolen voi pyyhkiä kokonaan pois. Se häivyttäisi kokemuksen naiseudesta. Rowling kertoo myös olleensa aina transihmisten puolella. Hän sanoo myös, että on aina kokenut olevansa sukupuoleltaan nainen.
‘People who menstruate.’ I’m sure there used to be a word for those people. Someone help me out. Wumben? Wimpund? Woomud?

I’ve spent much of the last three years reading books, blogs and scientific papers by trans people, medics and gender specialists. I know exactly what the distinction is. Never assume that because someone thinks differently, they have no knowledge. https://t.co/5kxnH3mZPf

One of my best mates just called me. Self-described butch lesbian. It was hard to tell, because she was shouting quite loudly, but I could just make out ‘FUCKING YES!’ https://t.co/yEbP8ygn1P

‘Feminazi’, ‘TERF’, ‘bitch’, ‘witch’.
Times change. Woman-hate is eternal. https://t.co/R6YlRFEvgG— J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) June 6, 2020
I respect every trans person’s right to live any way that feels authentic and comfortable to them. I’d march with you if you were discriminated against on the basis of being trans. At the same time, my life has been shaped by being female. I do not believe it’s hateful to say so.

The idea that women like me, who’ve been empathetic to trans people for decades, feeling kinship because they’re vulnerable in the same way as women – ie, to male violence – ‘hate’ trans people because they think sex is real and has lived consequences – is a nonsense.
