I just wanted to take a second and say that I nor anyone associated with this website approves of or appreciates the destructive and bigoted transphobic messages coming from J.K Rowling recently. If you are not familiar with the issues, ContraPoints does a fantastic job describing the issues.
While I say that, I do want to say, I really love Harry Potter and the wonderful world the books create. Such a delight and wonderful addition to the world.
It is my sincere hope that whatever personal baggage that Ms. Rowling is working through helps her get past her hurtful and destructive messaging. Her voice and her ‘platform’ are far too powerful to be devoted to such an unproductive, frankly un-Harry Potter like purpose.
