I get how it's not actually paradoxical or surprising but it's eternally hilarious to me when the same people who say "But they're your FAMILY! You can't turn your back on the people who raised you!!!" also think it's a-ok to disown your children for the high crimes and misdemeanours of like. Smoking pot. Getting pregnant. Sucking dick.

The thing that a lot of h/p fans need to understand is that separating the art from the artist only applies to artists who are either a) dead, or b) no longer funded/supported by their art. Rowling is neither of these things; in fact, she's a millionaire who has a lot of influence in different circles (especially in alt right/transphobic circles but y'all don't wanna acknowledge that)

There is no "fuck J. K. Rowling" or "fuck TERFs" while you still actively obsess over Harry Potter.

"let people enjoy things" is about like. danganronpa or hannibal or something else like that. not the antisemetic wizard game that's going to be funding anti-trans campaigns in the uk.

Some TERF DOGWHISTLES TO BE AWARE OF:

"sex class /sex based class" analysis that ignores and erases intersexism and transmisogyny in favour of equating trans women with cis men (misgendering)

"male supremacy" - and assuming (the small minority of) trans women who are awful to other trans people are that way because they are some kind of crypto MRAs and not just radfems and or assholes in their own right. Any harmful behaviour done by a trans woman is immediately assigned to "male supremacy"

"AMAB supremacy" just the same as calling trans women "male supremacists" & equating them to cis men and cis men MRAs - terfs seem to think that this is a way to get their "trans women are MRAs" shite past our BS detectors

"male socialisation" - especially when talking about (mischarecterising for grooming purposes ) intracommunity trans issues eg "trans women dOmInAtE and oppress trans men and trans spaces due to their male socialisation /experiences being raised as boys & trans men are demure in spaces and unwilling to speak up against the mean domineering trans women because of female socialisation "

"AFAB solidarity" - "trans men are my sisters (in the fight against the eevil trans women) " rebranded

i really want to emphasize the fact that many of these recent bills aimed at denying trans minors gender-affirming care have special exceptions built in to allow for nonessential surgeries on intersex children. they want to make sure doctors can continue pressuring parents into putting their intersex kids through procedures that have no evidence of benefits and are well known to cause harm (cw on these articles for discussions of intersex medical abuse/trauma).

these bills are not designed to protect children, they're designed to eradicate sex and gender diversity. they want to force both trans and intersex people into their binary little boxes and it will do immense harm to both groups.

"terfs like trans men!" "trans men don't have to worry about terfs!"

Oh I'm sorry wasn't there a big thing throughout 2020-2022 where everyone was all like "little girls are mutilating their bodies!", "what happened to our lesbians!?", "scared women are pretending to be men.", and so on? Wasn't there a literal book that talked about trans men, talking about them as if they were innocent girls who were lied to and thus were destroying themselves because of it, saying how we needed to 'save them from the hypnotization!"? Weren't there numerous bloggers/youtubers who made commentary videos in reaction to Elliot Page coming out, and proceeded to rant and rave how we are losing such beautiful women and lesbians to the "transgender agena"? What about the time where it was trending to fakeclaim trans people, whom most of the targets of this were trans men? How about when people called trans men 'dykes' because "well they're not actual men, they're just confused lesbians!"?

Do I need to add more, or do you guys understand?

First they came for the communists, and I did not speak out, because I was not a communist...

it should deeply disturb all of us (trans or otherwise) that a cis black woman was killed for the suspicion of being trans. That is the world we are living in. Trans women of color are killed every day, and now, cis women of color who are even suspected of being trans are facing the same threat. It's terrifying to think that this just happened and I suspect it won't be the last time. I've heard many a story of cis women being harassed for their "appearing trans", and it's so heartbreaking and infuriating. Please just look out for each other.

the idea that testosterone is a dangerous hormone that inherently makes someone domineering and difficult to be around is transphobic all round, leaning on bioessentialism.

for trans men and transmascs, we are warned against medical transition for fear that we may lose our agreeableness and perceived passivity. we are seen as potential aggressors after going on it.

trans woman and transfems have any testosterone in their system, whether on hrt or not, held over them like an original sin that can not be escaped that positions them as more aggressive and dangerous. it is seen as something that threatens their womanhood and can be brought up against them at any time to revoke it.

testosterone is not an evil hormone. it does not change your moral character. it does good for some and bad for others, like any other hormone.

I want a trans flag so badly but I only want it from my wife cause she's the reason I even realized I was trans so it Just Makes Sense

So the OP of this post

removed my comment regarding the person who stitched the tik tok, cowboyjen, or on tumblr, @/cowboyjen68; of being a TERF, or at least TERF adjacent. They didn’t bother reaching out to me for clarification, and by the multiple other comments they’ve removed, I can see they’re heavily engaged in censorship regarding how she is a TERF.

I’ve linked two posts here and here as some proof. It is pretty triggering, but if you can read it, please do. You can also check cowboyjen’s blog using the TERF keyword search and see that she goes out of her way to say that she doesn’t approve of the term TERF unless you self-describe yourself as one, even if there is adequate proof of transphobic ideaology.

Another good indicator of her status as a TERF is the blogs recommended. While Tumblr does not have a great algorithm, blogs that are recommended to you on someone’s page are usually the content they engage with on a regular basis.

I have checked butch-reidentified and it is a cesspool of TERF rhetoric.

While cowboyjen claims to support trans folks, she always goes out of her way to say that biologically, trans women are male and trans men are female. She also goes on to state that lesbians cannot be attracted to trans women due to ‘male pheromones’ that trans women ‘emit’. Cowboyjen goes off on a lot of 'biologically X' tangents that are at the core, incredibly transphobic.

I believe you guys can get the gist of how the above examples are transphobic without me having to go through and explain things. Cowboyjen claims to have trans friends and support trans people, but I honestly don’t think she has the trans community’s best interest at heart with her comments and TERF engagement.
