  1. >Everybody carries their own history of trauma and forms their opinions from that trauma and you have to respect where people come from and their pain.

    Do I bollocks.

  2. I don’t understand/have a clear picture of the whole Rowling thing, why is she hated so much? What did she do?

  3. It’s a shame these two things have been lumped together. The reasonable conclusion from what has been made public seems to be that Johnny Depp was in at least a mutually abusive relationship, and at times unquestionably the victim. Meanwhile JK Rowling is a bigot with a very powerful voice. Defending someone vulnerable and defending a big aggressive bully isn’t really comparable. Actually, from the headline I assumed Depp had said something cartoonishly transphobic.

  4. First time I clicked, this website had two large ads that overlayed the text, and two running videos that scrolled with the content. I literally could see only two lines of text in the top of the screen, the rest was obscured/partially obscured.

    What a cancer.

  5. A family member of mine is an acquaintance of Helena Bonham Carter. That family member isn’t a very progressive person to say the least, so this doesn’t suprise me

  6. Maybe the multi-billionaire who lives in a castle should get some therapy to deal with her trauma instead of using her reach and platform to spread hate and incite violence against trans people.

  7. i’ve had a cisman follow me into a female only space before. if men want to do it, they just do it. the transphobes can stfu with their stupid “omg but the bathrooms!!” argument

  8. It’s always kind of amusing/depressing when someone posts an article like this because they actually agree with the content of the article and then nobody else either takes it that way or is in their corner.

    Sorry, but who wakes up in the morning and decides the people they really want to stand up and shill for are a one-note children’s author with a God complex and a washed up actor who dates younger women and gets into physical altercations with them?
