It’s been years since I stopped following J. K. Rowling anywhere. To me, that woman is just gone from the face of the earth. But then sometimes, her name pops into my feed and I think: oh god, what has she tweeted now?
For many of the current teenage generation, J. K. Rowling used to be a childhood hero. But her thoughts and her ideals no longer fits what the modern world thinks and wants and needs.
We are a generation of change. It is with us that the world has realized it’s mistakes and it is us that take action. Just look at the BLM protests. Just look at the environment protests. Just look at pride. We are a generation of change!
When I was young, I hoped to be like J. K. Rowling. Her life seemed like a dream. Now I hope I’ll never be compared to her about anything. Ever. J. K. Rowling might have created the Harry Potter universe. But she doesn’t own it. We do.
So now, during pride month, and during every single other month in the year, I urge everyone to continue to build the Harry Potter universe into what we want it to be. Reblog trans HP art. Read trans HP fanfics. And gay ones, lesbian ones, non binary ones, asexuall ones, any type of sexuality or gender identity ones. We will not let this woman bring down an entire generation.
So, when our hero’s fail us, we don’t lie down and think that this is it. We fight back. And we will win! Because love conquers all. Happy Pride month, everyone🏳️🌈
