Who knew transphobia led to easily to homophobia?

Supporting LGBT+ rights is political in a way that breaches the civil service code and opposing them is not political in a way that precludes charitable status is a... complex position to hold, although one managed by former LGBA hate group with charitable status trustee Kathleen Stock.

I don't usually do this - however! It is awards nomination season and I am particularly proud of When I Say Run, so why not shoot my shot. If you enjoyed this story, it is eligible for short story and audio story nominations and I would be honoured if anyone were to put it forward.

"Rowling will undoubtedly receive substantial royalties from the Fortnite skins… That money will likely be funneled into her hate campaign against trans people.

Yes, yes, I know. They’ll get it all wrong without me. I suppose one more series won‘t kill anyone. Well, except… that would be telling ;)

Do any of my followers/mutuals have the ability to do a bit of AI-free photo restoration in time for Christmas? Paid of course!
The main issue is that the photo has faded due to sunlight exposure. However because of the frame it was in, a chunk of the true colour remains untouched.
DMs open!

Epic pays for licensing fees for the games they give away for free as promotions. Which means even if YOU aren't paying for it, you're giving money to JK Rowling to harm transgender people AND elevating her stature by giving her franchise higher numbers.
