    JK Rowling, in the Scottish Times: "it is dangerous to assert that any category of people deserves a blanket presumption of innocence." Grim and genuinely frightening. This is the kind of extreme rhetoric you would only normally expect to hear from fascists. #JKRvsLGBTQ

    So: - There was no bra fitting, JK Rowling did indeed (allegedly) lie. - M&S did not actually apologise to the bigot, they "gosh I'm sorry you felt that way"-ed - the woman being harassed and victimised is not actually confirmed to be transgender.

    This also bans trans men from all facilities and makes it *unlawful* for a women's group to include trans women even if every member and organiser wants them there. It is quite literally to the far, far right of Thatcher's position on LGBTQ rights. It is fascism beyond measure.

    ๐Ÿšจ BREAKING | Labour is set to impose a sweeping ban on trans people using any "single-sex space". In EHRC guidance that Labour is set to approve, trans people will be barred from accessing toilets, gyms and changing rooms that match their gender. (Source: @thetimes)

    Angry right-wing Otaku have come across an LGBTQ+ friendly Japanese person and they are not happy about it. Visual novel director and writer Kotaro Uchikoshi has revealed that one of their characters is non binary, exciting fans and sending reactionary japanophiles into a rage.

    The BBC have branded Prince Harry's new memoir Spare "The weirdest book ever written by a royal". Which is a great excuse to tell you that in 1597 King James VI & I published the Daemonologie, a book on necromancy, black magic, and how to find, test, and punish witches.
    Screenshot of a BBC review of Prince Harryโ€™s โ€œSpareโ€. It reads โ€œSpare Review: the weirdest book ever written by a royal.

    This is a bizarre but incredibly important interaction for understanding how JK Rowling's mind works post-radicalisation, and how cult movements and extremist groups are able to function in conflict with seemingly undeniable reality. A small thread ๐Ÿงต

    Pretending you've never heard of Pedro Pascal is such a deeply funny way of revealing you are extremely mad at getting called out by Pedro Pascal. I am not by any stretch a film or TV person, and I know oodles about Pedro Pascal simply because I use the internet.

    Class act, but it's worth highlighting that the great sin Radcliffe committed against JK Rowling was working with a suicide prevention charity and believing that the health, safety, and wellbeing of vulnerable LGBTQ+ children were more important than Rowling's feelings.

    Daniel Radcliffe responds to J.K. Rowling stating that she wonโ€™t โ€˜forgiveโ€™ him for speaking out against her amid transphobic comments. โ€œI will continue to support the rights of all LGBTQ people, and have no further comment than that.โ€

    "Feminism" is where women are defined by ovaries! Also gotta be honest, "faulty" and "equipment" are such weirdly dehumanising words here. Also also this completely contradicts Rowling's attacks on intersex individuals... Also also also all chickens are now women under GC law.

    Who was it who first said that JK Rowling is just Andrew Tate for rich middle-aged white women? Because they were more right than I think even they knew.

    Velma isโ€ฆ extremely not good. It reads like a right-wing YouTuber's clumsy understanding of what a "diverse" show is. Which, given that its showrunner is Mindy Kaling, who has faced criticism for transphobia and once described herself as "way conservative", kind of makes sense

    Why is it that whenever a woman or girl is murdered the media coverage is some version of "Gosh, what a promising chap, what a shame that whole murdering someone thing happened to him"
