    Oh I certainly did not coin that term, so steal away lol

    But yeah I definitely get your point. I suppose my only real contention is that I don’t personally feel it’s as ubiquitous of an opinion as it sounds like you do.

    That said, in the case of someone like Jk Rowling I will absolutely bring up the topic should she come up. I have quite a few trans friends, and she has and continues to actively take steps to attack and harm the trans community. Liking the art she has created is one thing, but supporting someone who seeks to invalidate the existence of people, particularly those I care about, and take away essential care is another. I probably won’t start a fight about it, unless you’re a real shit head, but I take no qualms with standing up about it either.

    Quick edit to note that’s not directed at you, to be clear. More just continuing to make the distinction I was before.

      No offense taken, don’t worry ;) And I fully agree … Rowling is a malicious, hateful, spiteful asshole and deserves all the hostility she gets online and IRL for what she said, did and still does. There are no two ways about it.
