Transgender

That's not what the decision said, but JK and their ilk are trying to push it as that.

Their decision is limited to what they believe was meant in the Equality Act 2010. It's just them indicating what a law meant originally.
A law that was written by people who didn't know better.
Now we know better, as the science is undeniable, but what we know now doesn't change what the law meant. That's why what the UK needs to do now is change the law to properly match science.

Rowling and other flavors of transfobes want to muddle the waters and act as if everything was set in stone, but it isn't.
There have been amendments to the Equality act before, the latest in in 2023 and 2024, they can do more.

Do not play into their game. Instead, push for change.

I'm way ahead of this because I absolutely HATE the originals because of how often they play them on TV. The transphobic writer of the original wanting to do a do-over most likely because the original cast spoke out against her is also real atrocious as well.

Done. I havent watched any of the other one either. lmao

Well wasn't going to anyways because Rowling is a horrible person but now I'll double down in not watching it.

I am no literature snob but I thought the first few books were good at the time for YA fiction. I still have the full set on my shelves and would be overjoyed if my kids read any novels, even imperfect ones.

People have nit picked JKs works to death and yes, there are problems. Half the stuff I was reading and watching as a kid was far, far worse. Like I was reading stuff that on reflection was clearly written by very far right authors, pedos etc as well as stuff that went way in other directions. I get why people boycott shit like that but I think its probably good to be exposed to some other points of view, even ones you vehemently reject.

People should be supporting new authors and new stories and stop throwing money at tired old corporate franchises. And that goes for the lazy Disney shit as well and all the Hollywood remakes. Unfortunately we have all been squeezed economically so there is fuck all money left to buy media and we are being squeezed for attention so nobody is taking time to read novels or listen to albums. The culture wars are certainly very significant (as a straight white male I know I have blind spots here), particularly for minorities with a lot at stake. But I feel the real enemy is the death of individual economic freedom and free time. Do we really need another big streaming series that brings nothing new to our lives and exists only to enhance shareholder value?
