when we say trans women are male and trans men are female, we are not saying they deserve to be discriminated against or that their dysphoria doesn’t matter. we are saying biology exists and matters in certain contexts.
when we say we won’t date trans women because we’re lesbians, we are not saying trans women don’t deserve to have happy, fulfilling relationships. we are saying that we are not romantically or sexually attracted to them and so that neither of us would have a happy, fulfilling relationship if we dated.
when we say we are gender critical, we are not saying everyone should be gender-conforming. we are saying the opposite, that men and women should be free to dress and act however they like instead of being forced into certain gender roles based on their sex.
when we say female-only safe spaces are important, we are not saying trans-only or mixed safe spaces aren’t also important. we are saying that based on our biology, women have certain shared experiences and face specific oppression that we deserve to be able to discuss among ourselves.
when we say one thing and you hear another, that isn’t our fault. when you’re ready to listen to what we actually believe or to have a genuine discussion, we’ll still be here.
Men who feel this victimized by a woman’s “no” are monsters.
People really do just be throwing around the world anti-Semitism to demonise The Hogwarts Legacy game. It's so clear that they don't give a fuck about Jewish people, because if they did they would challenge their own biases.
If you see a goblins, (which was designed by the movie team and not JKR btw), which are responsible for a bank and immediately think Jew, that's you being anti semitic. You are the one applying Jewish stereotypes to these mythical characters. These characters are not represented poorly either. The goblins are good at their jobs and they are not shown negatively.
Nevermind the allegory for racial purity running throughout the whole Harry Potter series through the death eaters and Voldemort. Who is the villain and never portrayed in a sympathetic light. No, her main theme and criticism of that view doesn't matter.
The gendies desperately claw at the pages of her books looking for anything they can grab onto to make her look worse. They know that their claims of transphobia wouldn't hold up if anyone actually bothered to look into them properly. So they need something that is established to demonise her further.
A working tactic of the patriarchy is convincing women that liberation is something for 'other' women. No you're already free, feminism is for the women in the worst of the worst, don't pay attention to it. No the women in feminism are working with the devil, they're destined to hell unlike you, don't pay attention to it. No feminism is for ugly exclusionary lesbians, nobody likes them, but you're cool right? Gang up against them with me.

I miss the days when, no matter how slow your internet was, if you paused any video and let it buffer long enough, you could watch it uninterrupted
Sorry but this is so fucking funny. This is supernatural levels of funny. You take one of the shows that showed every other 2010s media how queerbaiting is done and revive it six years later just to kill one half of the ship while the other character isn’t even there, but still can’t resist adding a not so subtle reference to how ACTUALLY the fans were right and the ship was true (possibly, hilariously one sided) all along. Incredible. Truly one of the masters of the game

Ok. Thank you. Carry on.
I feel bad for being a hater sometimes like I'll read an interview and some actor or director will talk about all the care and love they put into their work and how much it meant to them and I'm always like oh king that's so lovely 🥺 the movie does still suck though like it is still bad
