Rest in power, John!
John was a fierce advocate for open access to literature and fought against censorship efforts. He spoke at our rally this past spring for the Freedom to Read Act and Open Shelves Act.

yeah there's a direct through line between this ruling and anyone who bought that hogwart's game that trans people got screamed at for suggesting we boycott
JKR funded the campaign group behind all this btw. This is why we beg you to stop engaging with Harry Potter media.
The UK Supreme Court has unanimously decided that the definition of sex under the Equality Act 2010 refers solely to biological sex, and does not include people with a Gender Recognition Certificate.
