Uhh....

I still have 20 minutes left but the super tldr is something like anti trans movements are nearly identical in language, methodology, and argument strategy of other historical anti progressive movements like anti lesbian feminists, anti gay activists, anti feminists in general, and even anti women's suffrage.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

JK Rowling is a TERF and the podcast titled "The Witch Trials of JK Rowling" is propaganda for her.

Also she's basically Anita Bryant.

I always have to watch contrapoints vids in segments, both because of their length and the subject matter is often exhausting

Not clicking on that thumbnail but that is a hilarious topic title, witch trial was this event held in Salem a couple centuries ago starring witches and JK Rowling actually has a book series about magic and thus witches. Its pretty coincidence

Yeah it's almost word for word. Same old "just asking questions", "legitimate concerns", and "doing the right thing"

Then trying to farm sympathy from being victims of abuse. As if what they're doing isn't ruining the lives of the people they target

I like the part where she's like "Gay rights progress has come a long way and Anita Bryant is 84 years old and she's still a bigot. Some people just can't be changed."

Yeah, it would be losing sight of the goal to focus on actually changing the minds of people like Rowling. It's more important to make sure the world she grows old in is one that rejected her ideas.

Actually if you like books that are about children thriving in an unjust world here's a series:

https://www.amazon.com/Assassination-Classroom-Vol-Yusei-Matsui/dp/1421576074

I read this series a few years back and I feel like it connected and gave me a new lease on my own childhood sense of wonder.

Not watching that video but I remember skimming that "Witch Trials" article about how Rowling isn't a transphobe or whatever, and it's really hard to imagine reading her actual words and coming to any conclusion other than her being a transphobe. She villainizes trans people pretty openly.

Sir, I am sorry, but that series is banned for being offensive.

Terry Pratchett's Discworld is great fantasy stuff that is just plain miles better and very inclusive. Great comedy, critical of society and fantastic characters.

Brandon Sanderson's stuff is pretty inclusive as well and the guy is a fucking mormon.

Both good replacements for Rowling.
