At least three of the protesters wore shirts that said “Rowling Money Kills” and one activist used a bullhorn to read a statement, sometimes unintelligible through the noise and shouting of the moment, to those present.

“She would rather police women’s space than support her trans sisters when they are under attack,” that person can be heard saying.

      A particularly ironic factoid is JK Rowling was told by her publisher to use JK in her pen name because women’s first names don’t sell as well.

      He likes to be known as Robert Galbraith, so we shouldn’t deadname him. We should also remember that the namesake was the man who invented Conversion Therapy, and was just a thoroughly awful man.

        So, even when it’s subhuman trash like Rowling, and even given all the egg shit she’s said over the years, it’s still not cool to deliberately misgender someone with the intent of denigrating them. Even that scag. Make fun of her for being a thin skinned mold riddled bigot instead.

        I didn’t know that about her pen name. But holy fuck that man was repulsive. I was reading about him and feel a little ill.

    This is great to see. I looked to the entire cast a month ago just so I know which people to hate on now.

    That Shaun of the dead “friend” stood out to me as a shock. What a little bitch he is.
