This on Yahoo News - horrible. A sick, misogynistic fantasy that sounds like it comes from a very male place to me.

Shocking. Pervert expresses perversions.

Agree that it sounds grotesque, and as if it’s been written by a teenager who has no grasp of nuance.

Shocking. Men People have been allowed to get away with so much on twitter, they think it extends to the real world too.

It's difficult because the fact that such hate is allowed to be published needs to be highlighted. Would the publisher have published this if it switched out TERFs for black people? I certainly hope not!

And yet talking about it raises it's profile and gets the author's face and name in the media. That is likely to spawn more such publications.

You forget 'other'

They’ll sell about 18 books, mostly to perverts. I don’t think JKR is looking over her shoulder. Except in the police sense, obviously.

It's also a spectacularly cheeky fucker way of getting massive amounts of publicity for you're book when you're a complete nobody. Angry

It’s grotesque. “Trans dykes fucking and murdering terfs” doesn’t sound like anything to shout about to me. Just the same old boring-as-fuck male violence against women.
