I stand by every word. JK Rowling's war on trans people has terrifying consequences for trans people, profoundly negative ones for all women cis or trans who don't conform to gender norms, and ignores the real problems all women face.
Still, it delights the Far Right: there is that.

We cannot compete with the vast sums JK Rowling has to spend on her war on a tiny minority and civil society organisations that want to promote inclusivity.
But @goodlawproject.bsky.social is the UK's biggest defender of trans rights. If you'd like to support our work there's a link in my bio.

That means it’s now in the running to become an EMMY nominee. The next step is voting—starting June 12—where members of the Television Academy decide what officially gets nominated.
