How is this ok? Enslaved Black women were actually subjected to no-anaesthesia hysterectomies, something it took years for the medical establishment to acknowledge, and longer to remove the statue of the w fire male doctor who tortured these women, but it’s ok to put that in a book? It’s ok to fantasize about killing actual women? So if we say “I’m not sure people who have been through male puberty should compete in Women’s categories in sports that’s “literal Genocide,” but a whole novel sadistically murdering and raping women is fine and progressive and can be sold?

This actually makes me sick.

Yes I would be frightened myself if I was her, although I hate to say that. Some of these people are utterly unhinged and I can see them becoming sort of cult heroes amongst the rest of the insane people if they did attempt anything. I mean a trans person accused of murdering a family is painted as a hero in this novel - it’s not a million miles away is it?

She seems cool as a cucumber though. Like she doesn’t seem frightened or anything. I always wondered how she came to writing these characters who just face up to terrifying things without worrying but I suppose she must be that type of person who is just so brave that it doesn’t seem that amazing to her. I suppose also she can stand on her talent. She’s a real writer, not just writing her weird sexual/violent criminal fantasies poorly.

I know it shouldn’t surprise me, but it’s so creepy and disgusting that this can be in plain sight and reviewed positively, meanwhile Rowling includes like 2 throwaway sentences about a serial killer wearing a woman’s coat and every major media outlet blares that she’s horrifyingly transphobic.

I honestly hope she has security. If I were her I would be terrified. How is this not revenge porn?

Had this been written by an incel it would be seen as it truly is: A nightmarish wish to kill and rape women, pretty much. It equates women saying 'no' to anything at all with an attempt to exterminate all transgender people and it has scenes where one of the transwomen watches the other one prepare to kill a TERF and the former gets an erection from that.

It is truly shocking that extremely vicious and open misogyny is now viewed as part of a progressive social justice movement.

It has been positively reviewed at the NPR (the closest to the BBC) in the US. By a trans man. No reference to the misogyny which colours every single thing in the story, but JK Rowling and her nasty troops are in it and make sex slaves out of the transwomen. The latter then kill the former in all sorts of gruesome ways.

This is now progressive.

Plus I believe it references/makes a joke of an actual murdered family of two women and their little boy. Which just… isn’t really funny or appropriate novel material.

But then this author is a man who’s openly said rape ‘isn’t that bad’ and he’s never written anything ‘without at least one rape in it.’ I mean yuck. The book also features scenes obviously inspired by ‘sissy porn’ where little boys are forced to wear dresses. Who is going to buy it? Who is going to read it?

Gross. Only upvote is that I can’t imagine anyone will buy it - I imagine it’s total trash. Worrying what you can get away with though. I hope it gets brought to as many people’s attention as possible. I’m not a fan of ‘torture horror’ at the best of times and often I think (even stuff like Hostel etc) it’s not good.

That should be “white male doctor” not w fire whatever that means.

I’m actually sickened by this.
