Loving Accountability for JK Rowling
Dear JK,
Children and adults of all ages around the world love your work. You have taught us so much about love, growth and inclusion. For the sake of the safety of the children and youth you’ve inspired, please examine your transphobia and educate yourself so that the integrity of your beloved books can live on.
Children and adults of all ages around the world love your work. You have taught us so much about love, growth and inclusion. For the sake of the safety of the children and youth you’ve inspired, please examine your transphobia and educate yourself so that the integrity of your beloved books can live on.
Why is this important?
Betrayal trauma is real. When children who’ve been inspired by Harry Potter discover that their gender identity is different from the one they were assigned at birth, and then discover that the beloved adult who wrote their beloved books is transphobic, the life-affirming message of these books goes flat. Children deserve public figures who support pro-child, pro-inclusion policies and platforms. Cherished adult figures who support children’s wholeness and health are essential to keeping suicide rates down. Please consider the health and safety of the children who love your work.
