Head TERF of Transphobe Island.
Get over Harry Potter, the book was shit then and it is now.
Seriously, the only redeeming quality is how whimsical the Wizarding World is, the actual story is bullshit, and since the whimsy goes away after the third book in favor of “Edgy Bullshit” for books 4-7, there isn’t a lot of whimsy to enjoy
I have the theory that if it wasn’t for the movies, the series wouldn’t have gotten a fraction of the popularity it has.
Specially the music. I think the score did most of the heavy lifting in giving the movies that “whimsy magical feeling”
Indeed, Harry Potter is marketing hype that’s it, as a kid I only read Sorcerer’s Stone cover to cover, then I moved onto Redwall.
SEVEN books??
Did you think there were more or less?
Less. IDK.
The actual post for those interested. There’s more data and the user is writing a book on the anti-trans movement
Follower only post.
This informs why she continues to be mentioned. If people stopped interacting with her she’d literally go away.
If people stopped interacting with her she’d literally [go] away
That’s true of literally everyone, though.
Unfortunately, she’s a billionaire with a lot of clout and powerful friends, so it’s highly unlikely that everyone will just start collectively ghosting her any time soon.
Those of us who see her for what she is doing so is still a good start.
Also, she may be riding and amplifying the current wave of transphobia, but the rot runs deep. Especially in the UK, where even supposedly progressive parties and publications are just salivating at the thought of hurting trans people.
JKR is not the source of the poop. She’s just the largest turd.
Jeffrey Epstein being one of said friends.
Rowling is the pedophile with spell check.
Once you’re a world-renowned creator of a massive multimedia franchise and a billionaire that lives in a castle and uses your vast fortune to create legal troubles for a marginalized group and for anyone who points out you’re persecuting said marginalized group, there’s no amount of ignoring that will make you go away. The only way to make her go away is to aggressively fight back against her bullshit.
That’s not how lobbying works.🙃
She’s paying for this entire network of hate.Evidently childhood fandom is more important than protecting our most vulnerable
You cannot ask people to actually do something. It’s all hashtags, shitstorms, changing one’s profile picture.
She’s probably the useful idiot for someone so as long as that “need” exists she’ll be shoved (willingly) into the spotlight.
What the fuck is her problem? Did she get diddled by a trans person or something? Is she that closeted!?
She wants to be a man, and blames trans woman for it.
unironically my theory
She’s talked about how she wanted to be her father’s son before.
So internalized misogyny is her projection onto the rest of us.
Who even uses X? Aren’t most of these just bots feeding off what she posts?
A lot of people sadly, though, it’s probably true there are a lil too many bots which then also drag humans in the shitting

Yeah it couldn’t be clearer that she’s the UK wing of the same politics that the other billionaires like Musk and Thiel are pushing. Must be something that they all cooked up together on Epstein’s island.
she also threatened bullshit uk slaap lawsuits against amnesty international uk to bully them into pulling the report on the gender critical movement -> https://archive.org/details/report-a-growing-threat-the-anti-rights-movement-in-the-uk-july-2026_202607
Peter Theil’s secret society, but yeah.
So far there’s only one book, but if you want a fairly cozy read, I liked The Wizard’s Butler by Nathan Lowell
Any recommendations on books? Back then I thought the Harry Potter books (well, the 3 that I’ve read) where neat and I’d like to read something similar again :D
(TYSM for the recommendations! Sorry I didn’t reply to anyone)
If the “wizards and aspects of fantasy in a modern world” schtick is what you found appealing, maybe Jim Butcher’s Dresden Files novels?
Ah… didn’t realize a new book had come out, nice.
More of an off the beaten path recommendation, but The Sapling Cage by Margaret Killjoy was a really fun YA fantasy novel about a trans girl who joins a coven of witches.
Adrian Mole Diaries by Sue Townsend
Not at all similar but read them anyway if you haven’t.
Came across this yesterday. Haven’t read any of these but here’s a small list for both kids and adults, courtesy of sophiebeerdraws.
Not having Ursula Le Guin while having BrandoSando on there is criminal. Go read the Earthsea books.
I’ve had Ursula Le Guin’s books on my list for a while now, personally. Although the impression that I get is that Le Guin is in her own tier that others should be compared to, up there with Tolkien with Anne Rice.
Haven’t read any of the books in that screenshot myself but I was assuming they’re all that Potter / Narnia / Alice kind of idea of a chosen one in a magical land, mostly for kids and young adults.
I know some people dislike the character, but man, Mistborn is so damn good
Definitely need to give some of these others a try
Alternatives should really be a standard for when shit goes down on any media.

Besides all the good recommendations here already, I’d like to add the Farseer trilogy by Robin Hobb
Just look up US banned books for featuring LGBTQ and commie themes!
Currently reading “The House in the Cerulean Sea” by T. J. Klune and it might scratch a similar itch
I mean you Could also read the other books. Get them second Hand and you dont even have to support Rowling.

JKR is another powerful Billionaire Fascist
great woman theory
Mother fuckers who have only ever read one book that’s split up into multiple books but often bound together and murdering queers while claiming victimhood, name a more iconic combination.
