UK TERFs are still basking in the warm afterglow of a UK Supreme Court ruling last week that went in their favor, essentially declaring that trans women aren’t women, legally at least.

Yesterday, the New York Times was sent two open letters criticizing what many have seen as biased and misleading coverage of trans issues that has given ammunition to anti-trans activists and legislators. One of the letters was from the LGBTQ+ advocacy organization GLAAD; the other was signed by 170 New York Times contributors disturbed by the paper’s slanted trans coverage.

Author and anti-trans activist JK Rowling has announced she is launching a crisis center for female victims of rape and sexual abuse. The catch? Beira’s Place, as the center is called, won’t allow trans women to use its services.
So Graham Norton’s Twitter account has disappeared. Norton, the popular UK talk show host was last seen offering some seemingly uncontroversial opinions on trans issues that somehow did not meet the approval of Harry Potter mega-author and trans antagonist J.K. Rowling.
So JK Rowling has just published a new novel and it’s causing some reactions! Written under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith, The Ink Black Heart tells the story of what the fuck I can’t read this, the typeface is too small for my Kindle.
