      And I’m glad you’re able to do that and have people around you that support you. This doesn’t change the fact that I don’t enjoy people who promote something that funds people like me dying.

      If you’re able to get over that, that’s awesome and I believe you deserve good things, I am simply not able to.

    I’m sorry you have to deal with so many ignorant and apologist people.

    Everyone who exuses the hate Rowling spreads because of the Harry Potter cult is partly responsible for the harm and danger this causes to trans and non binary people.

    I guess it is bad in the sense that it’s not great pick-up line to use in your case, but I do like the creativity. Would’ve been better used to someone with some Harry Potter stuff in their bio though

      I think the people downvoting took “quoting Harry Potter sounds like you hate me” as “quoting Harry Potter means you hate trans people” (stated as fact). The OP said this is how it feels to them, we shouldn’t downvote people for sharing how they experienced something.

      Being non-binary is not the same as being trans… and perhaps they were being downvoted for a different reason.

      I always find it odd when people assume why someone is being downvoted. You never know why someone votes the way they do.

        I’m not the gender I was assigned at birth. What’s your definition of trans then???

      wowwww a trans person making unfair assumptions/criticisms of people for quoting an extremely popular piece of pop culture.

      let’s all say it together!!

      Being trans is not a prejudice pass!!

      • whoreticulture@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Someone literally just shared their experience as a trans person, and it was downvoted.

        source
  • whoreticulture@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    The downvotes are because you dared to be trans.

    source
• norimee@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  Its not what the quote says, but who the quote comes from.

  JKR is a hateful, raging TERF. Something like Voldemort for trans people.

    You should read this from her own words. I know you won’t read it all the way through because your mind is probably made up. Maybe someone will come along and see her in a different light though. I read the whole thing. Zero hate of any kind. jkrowling.com/…/j-k-rowling-writes-about-her-reas…

      Yeah, no. It’s not just one accidental like.

      Also there is hate in the blog post you linked

      So I want trans women to be safe. At the same time, I do not want to make natal girls and women less safe. When you throw open the doors of bathrooms and changing rooms to any man who believes or feels he’s a woman – and, as I’ve said, gender confirmation certificates may now be granted without any need for surgery or hormones – then you open the door to any and all men who wish to come inside. That is the simple truth.

      This is a terrible argument because if a man wanted to abuse women in the restroom, he wouldn’t need to transition to do so. He’d just walk in.
