I imagine that many of you are Harry Potter fans and you probably know that the author is transphobic, well she is at it again and she facing opposition in her hate for us.
Meanwhile Emma Watson spoke out against bigotry against us a couple of years ago and it is worth repeating.
To me it seems like the world is becoming divided between those who are closed minded and open minded. The close minded don’t like change, and don’t like people who are different from them and for them diversity is a four letter word.

Many people are calling out “Harry Potter” author J.K. Rowling for a series of anti-trans tweets on Saturday afternoon.
Rowling’s latest controversy began when she commented on an article from Devex, a media platform for the global development community, titled “Opinion: Creating a more equal post-COVID-19 world for people who menstruate.”
“‘People who menstruate.’ I’m sure there used to be a word for those people. Someone help me out. Wumben? Wimpund? Woomud?” Rowling tweeted.
People on Twitter immediately called Rowling’s comments “anti-trans” and “transphobic” as transgender people, non-binary people and gender-nonconforming people can also menstruate. Rowling followed that tweet up by criticizing the idea that someone’s biological sense isn’t real.
Meanwhile Emma Watson spoke out against bigotry against us a couple of years ago and it is worth repeating.

Watson posted a photo on Twitter of herself in a t-shirt bearing the slogan: “Trans rights are human rights.”
She tagged several groups that campaign for transgender rights in the post, including LGBT+ charity Stonewall, transgender children’s charity Mermaids, and non-profits all About Trans and Gendered Intelligence
Fans and members of the trans community thanked Watson for showing her support.
Trans journalist Paris Lees wrote: “Thank you for speaking up, so many families struggling at the moment don’t have a voice. We love you! ❤️ “
Mermaids added: “THANK YOU from all the trans kids that don’t have a voice!
To me it seems like the world is becoming divided between those who are closed minded and open minded. The close minded don’t like change, and don’t like people who are different from them and for them diversity is a four letter word.
