Episode 117: No TERFs Allowed
🕑 Added 2020-06-12 14:00:07 +0000 UTCDeathly Hallows chapter 5.
We go deep on J.K Rowling's despicable blog posts, the responses to her behavior, and the future of Fantastic Beasts and her other ongoing business ventures. If you don't want to hear a very frank discussion about her transphobia (that also includes ableism, sexual assault, and generally awful behavior) skip to 1:15:24.
Good news, though! The chapter we read this week also sucks, so we get our licks in on the continuing disaster that is book 7 so far.

trans and autistic, JRK using the same tactic my sibling used when defending pedophilic media Bringing up CSA survivors only as a defense of pedophilic media and refusing to even acknowledge the possibly that there are CSA survivors who hate pedophilic media. JKR does something similar by using autistic people to defend transphobia all while refusing to acknowledge autistic people's automacy. I sure do hate liberals.

Harry being dedicated to trusting people even after it has backfired on him COULD have been powerful had he chosen to trust someone despite the misgivings of others and it saved him. But even throughout the book, he just gets fucked over by people lying and betraying him over and over but without any actual consequences. Also as a nonbinary trans man, obligatory: fuck TERFS and we must fight for our trans sisters
