I feel like simply calling JK Rowling a transphobe isn't strong enough anymore. Like. This is not your grandpa calling you by your deadname at a restaurant kind of transphobic. This is her wanting to eradicate all trans people (with an extra special hatred towards trans women specifically). This is her trying just that by personally funding transphobic hate groups with millions to push around laws in the UK. It is not hyperbolic to call her a dangerous, genocidal maniac.

She also royally screwed over a domestic abuse charity in Edinburgh purely because the woman running it was trans and was ensuring equality for all staff, but when one of the staff got aggressive about knowing what was in a non-binary person's knickers (if you're asking "what are you *really*", that's what you're doing), it all kicked off. According to staff who worked there at the time, they were subject to harassment and threats by the affiliates of that woman.

Tomorrow marks the beginning of Disability Pride Month. This pride month I'm here for the silent sufferers. I'm here for the ones who feel intense mental anguish. I'm here for the ones who have invisible disabilities. I'm here for the ones who have physical disabilities. I'm here for the ones with high support needs. I'm here for the ones with low support needs. I'm here for the ones with trauma. I'm here for the ones whose disability isn't taken seriously. I'm here for the ones who can't work or can't get a job due to discrimination. I'm here for the ones who are constantly trying to navigate an inaccessible world. I'm here for the ones who are being forced to lose themselves due to trying to assimilate to societal norms.
