However, when a very influential person chooses to be transphobic, upsetting many trans people and surprising even cis people, then I do feel threatened and feel the need to say something. <br /><br />I keep warning about the UK's slide into both autocracy and chaos. I warn everyone I can. My post after this one was also a warning. People don't really get it, which is the effect of a thousand years of feudalism and what that does to a nation's political maturity. If you can leave as I have then I would suggest you do so.<br /><br />Sue xSue Richmondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14881573928883759984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-182477363609341716.post-42830110610297719522020-06-16T16:17:13.891+02:002020-06-16T16:17:13.891+02:00I'm saddened by this whole affair.

I tend to keep well away from trans activist matters as in some respects I simply don't understand the nuances, but the JK affair seems now to have been taken over as a cause for dropping the GRA reform which no doubt pleases TERFs. It is good that the HP actors come out in support of trans women and trans men but I fear that is not enough. This country needs to rebuild not continue its slide through anarchic autocracy into chaos.Nikki Kenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04071821079468074274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-182477363609341716.post-37897921197651592282020-06-13T08:18:50.594+02:002020-06-13T08:18:50.594+02:00Thanks, Lynn.

As these are all young actors, it gives me great hope for a more humane future.

It would be easier to say nothing, but they've decided to do something and speak out. I hope those who are troubled by JKR's comments find the hope and love offered by those incredible allies.Lynn Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00876715474502367377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-182477363609341716.post-11927828282039652992020-06-12T22:23:04.961+02:002020-06-12T22:23:04.961+02:00Thank you.
