Rowling has never made an ‘anti-trans’ tweet. This is ridiculous hyperbole and people are starting to wake up to the mass hysteria of “I saw Goody JK with the devil!” https://t.co/XkttxPe54M

The children’s book industry is witnessing the most horrific onslaught of abuse towards a much-loved, measured, brave & generous woman author. The overwhelming silence from other authors, publishers, book organisations etc is disgraceful. You should all be ashamed of yourselves

The Current Moment
these types of photos always used to be so bizarre, alien, other worldly, had zero points of reference, couldn’t understand how on earth this could have happened. All makes 100% perfect sense now. Unbelievable how easily tipped into this society can be. pic.twitter.com/YvyIzQaqjB

The LGBTQ Construct Is Just That
Yes, I’m blogging far less these days. But this article struck me as well-reasoned. Eventually, the limits and cultural contradictions of “LBGTQ” will put asunder this construct.
