Condemning an entire category of people on the basis that one of them might commit a crime is the very essence of prejudice. And that prejudice plays straight into the hands of the far right.
It's the sight of JK Rowling sucking back on a cigar with a highball in hand on the deck of her multi-multi-million dollar superyacht, with the caption, "I love it when a plan comes together", like she's a second-tier Bond villain from the Roger Moore years.
It's no "No, Mr. Bond, I expect you to die", but then she's always been a lousy stylist, hasn't she? I read the first page of the first Harry Potter novel thirty years ago and haven't read a sentence since.
Yes, yes, yes, she's got her billions to fall back on, but her long irreversible slide into cultural obsolescence has already begun.
In the words of the Sex Pistols (much better writers, btw): "No future for you."
Thanks for standing up, Laurie. I know it’s hard but we appreciate you. I’m in CA and our governor recently pulled a Kai - he had some fascist dickhead ON HIS OWN PODCAST and threw trans kids under the bus - for what? For the likes? For the lols? Bc he thinks he’s somehow winning over other fascists? No, bc, like you said - it was easy. The whole situation is heartbreaking. Anyway - thanks for this.

Thanks for writing this. Have subscribed. My hatred for the transphobic curtain twitchers is off the scale.
Solidarity, Laurie. I am livid at what they are doing, and trying to speak out more.
Thank you for this piece, Laurie. It breaks my heart to read how bad things currently are in the UK for trans people. I had no idea...
