  “Monster” may be a little extreme, but here’s a review of her body of work up to that point.

  Generally, she has very questionable views on body image, her “sympathetic” characters are quick to judge and reinforce the status quo, her very questionable story line with S.P.E.W. and the House Elves, which resulted in Harry Potter fans rationalizing race based slavery.

    It’s not extreme. She is the most active, vocal, and prominent anti-trans advocate out there. She is a huge part of the push that is ruining people’s lives in the UK.

      I am not pro trans. Because I think anything that is being pushed as an Agenda is not in everyones best interest. Except of course for the medical industry has more people it can leech off of.

      My only issue with calling her a “monster” reducing the criticism to childish name calling and melodrama. All the things you said are more accurate and adult criticisms. People aren’t going to agree with what qualifies someone as a “monster” and will chip away at your criticisms by getting into the weeds on semantics.

        She is a monster, just like Anita Bryant. The result of her activism is trans kids commiting suicide after being on YEARS long wait lists. Maybe if people you cared about were being denied healthcare for years, you would call the person advocating for that denial a monster too

        Anyway, I don’t care about people like you who only care about semantics so uh yeah 🖕🏻If me calling people a monster and being angry is going to dissuade people from supporting trans rights, let’s be real they were not supporters to begin with and are looking for the flimsiest excuse.

        Monster is an adult criticism because she’s a fucking monster.

  Damn echo chambers are real lol. I feel like all I’ve heard for the past five years is how she’s a walking, tweeting shitstorm.

    Yeah, I’d keep “monster” for people like Kissinger or Mengele, not for people that make fun of phrases like “people who menstruate”. But I was genuinely curious and now I know.

      Her rhetoric has been incredibly influential. She is like Anita Bryant. Absolute fucking monster.

  As I understand it, she mocks T people. That’s it, as far as I’ve seen. But I pay little attention to any of these people as I simply don’t care.
