Let me break it down for you. Big words for Elmo. Rowling is not some random woman. She is one of the most powerful and influential public figures in the UK. She has ears in government that actively listen to and promote her ideas. For the past several years, she has used her platform almost solely and exclusively to spread libel, disinformation, and propaganda targeting trans people. This has had an observable and profound effect on the public’s perception of trans people.
This, in turn, has created an extremely hostile political climate for trans people and especially trans youth, who have seen a TANGIBLE and significant increase in instances of violence and abuse against them in the UK alone. A prominent example of this being the murder of Brianna Ghey. Are you done being a dumbass now or are you going to continue to cower behind this bad faith argument like a weirdo.
