While we will have discussions on political issues dealing with hate and bigotry AGAINST the LGBTQ+ community, please keep your comments respectful of ail parties.

Be better than how your enemies treat you.

Respect the trans community

Respect the people who belong here. If you're confused what that means, here's a minor primer:

No asking to date trans people or otherwise meet up with them. No treating being transgender as a mental illness or as being lesser in any way. No arguing with trans people about their identity. No arguing with trans people about their vulnerabilities, including anything related to sports, laws, etc. This includes anything else that the mod team deems disrespectful.

Stay on topic!

Posts should be related to the defense, advocacy, and restoration of LGBTQ+ rights.

This Community is for news regarding, as well as the discussion of, anti LGBTQ+ laws, hate crimes, and propaganda.

Bunnies are above the law

This isn't a rule but it shows you're paying attention to the rules. good for you!

The author announced in a Saturday post to X, formerly Twitter, that she would be founding the J.K. Rowling Women's Fund, using her personal fortune. The website for the group states that it "offers legal funding support to individuals and organisations fighting to retain women's sex-based rights in the workplace, in public life, and in protected female spaces."

"I looked into all options and a private fund is the most efficient, streamlined way for me to do this," she said. "Lots of people are offering to contribute, which I truly appreciate, but there are many other women's rights orgs that could do with the money, so donate away, just not to me!"

I fucking hate this woman.

[–] captainjaneway@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 2 days ago

I don't understand her hate. I don't understand how someone could have access to the best this world has to offer and - in exchange - uses their time and power to injure people who have done nothing to them. If I had more than $10mil, you'd never hear from me again. I'd be in a different country every month. Staying at hotels and eating good food. I'd probably only use my phone to map to the nearest train station. I can't even fathom wasting my money and time trying to physically injure people who are doing nothing but existing. The biggest insult to injury is that she's a children's book author. Hell, Harry Potter ironically was my escape as a kid. Dreaming of a world where I could be anything through the power of magic.

I know everything I've said has been addressed ad nauseam, but I just truly can't wrap my head around this vitriolic, vile, behavior.

Fucking ghoul.

I wonder how many actors are going to try to back out of the Potter reboot on HBO or Max or whatever tf it's called now.

Obviously, probably none bc it wasn't a secret that she's a TERF and they signed up anyway.

I sincerely hope that nobody takes it out on the kids involved. Their parents, yes.

I sincerely hope she gets kissed by a bus.

What did the bus ever do to you to merit such hate?
