Reposted by Foliage & FictionAlanna Smith @alannawrites.bsky.social · 16/04/2025This is evil and awful and trans people everywhere deserve better than what's happening right now. And I think it's impossible to overtstate the pivotal role that JK Rowling played in mainstreaming hateful and false ideas about trans people. Every dollar you give her goes toward efforts like this. 2521641045
Foliage & Fiction @foliageandfiction.bsky.social · 16/04/2025Bravo, Jo. All that cash funnelled into Women for Scotland just to make life that bit more unbearable for trans people—what a triumph!! Must feel soooo good knowing you've made trans people's lives even harder. You must be so proud. Truly, what a legacy, big slap on the back, well done you. 🥇 🙌 041
