Imagine being the most famous and wealthiest writer in the world. Imagine being so immensely talented and so immensely rewarded for your talent. Imagine having created characters that live in the imaginations of millions of children and adults all over the world.
I tend to agree Jo. I saw Graham Lineham being interviewed recently and he was so consumed by his conviction that he was right he could not see where his obsession had brought him. He has paid a heavy price in terms of family and career as a result of his fostering of hate within himself and his attacks on our community. It was a sad spectacle to watch him bluster his way through the interview, losing his temper and being extremely rude and mysoginustic as well as transphobic. I really did feel sorry for him. However, the real harm, psychological and physical that he and Rowling have visited upon our community means that feeling sorry for them outweighs my horror at what they are visiting upon us.
I so wish J K Rowling would sit down and discuss this important topic with you, Jo.
I have been molested by Heterosexual males and even lesbians, but that doesn’t make all males or lesbians evil predators, and nor does it make me hate people who are male or lesbians. We have to see beyond this harmful stereotyping, and I believe you are one of the few people who could get JKRowling to see sense.
Such curious behaviour, isn't it? Surely there are just people in the world who do bad things to others, and those who do not. What on earth has gender ID or sexuality or skin colour or ethnicity or age or any other protected characteristic got to do with it?
