I've been GC for a few years now. Follow loads of GC people on Twitter, listen to loads of podcasts about it, have just read the Abigail Shrier book. However I'm not "out" except to 3 close friends.
Yesterday I was at an outdoor event with some family and friends of my in laws. One of them was asking about our recent trip on the steam train over the Glenfinnan viaduct.....known as the Harry Potter train....I was describing the trip and then this friend said "but of course JKR is in the news for all of the the wrong reasons now isn't she?" With a knowing nod.
I'm ashamed to say I just blustered it, made a sort of "errrm" noise and then changed the subject.
But I didn't feel it was
The time or place to get into a debate about it, and my in laws would have been annoyed/bewildered at me for ruining the atmosphere with a GC explanation.
I feel I need to have some stock replies ready if this should happen again! And I feel like I've betrayed JK who is so brave and amazing.
