Transphobic Christmas lights

[Bitchyfrench]

Can't believe more people aren't up in arms about the transphobic Harry Potter Oxford Street lights.

Apparently a mere 10,000 people have sent emails to London Mayor Sir Sadiq Khan demanding that he ‘pull the plug on transphobia’ and cancel the themed lights.

The Good Law Project, who are always at the forefront of good sense and well-rounded thinking are quite rightly outraged that trans folk can't possibly feel Christmassy when inanimate twinkly Christmas lights are mocking their right to feel festive.

Down with this sort of thing.

Genocide by Christmas Lights.

Will somebody please tell me what the fluff this is about?!

Christmas lights arent transphobic.
Harry Potter isnt transphobic.
Womans Rights arent trsnsphobic.

😂

At least get a photo up @Bitchyfrench or it didn't happen

Oh behave!

Get a life 🙄

Shush!! They dont feel safe!!

Sarcasm. Its a thing.

For those who missed the point of the op, heres a link. Id happily decorate the outside of my house in gloriously "transphobic colours" if I thought I could get away with it but I strongly suspect Id be accused of "violence".
Trans campaigners oppose Harry Potter Christmas lights | CARE

@Stinkybooks Thank you! Off to have a look at that link.

Saying people cannot change sex isn’t transphobic.

16 showed up to protest, dreadful, it should have been at least 160.

I see. Some people hate JK Rowling because she says men cannot become women. So they're moaning about Harry Potter lights.

These people need to get a hobby.

There should be a law that anyone that does not understand hyperbole or tongue in cheek threads should be banned.

You’ve spoiled the fun!

I’m more put off by the use of Christmas decorations as marketing tools. It reminds me of that Stranger Things Christmas tree last year. 😒

I thought it was everything the light touches.

That's basically it in a nutshell.

I'd find it quite funny really that only a handful of loons turned up to protest the opening of the Harry Potter shop if it wasn't so downright depressing.

They never say exactly what JK Rowling has done that is causing them harm. Unless by harm they mean hurty feelings because she expressed a biological reality that they are unable to cope with.

10,000 people - half of which are serial petition signers on social media

Out of a population of London of what 9 million

Not much to get worked up about

Well think about it. The light might look pink but that doesn’t mean it identifies as pink.

😂😂😂😂😂 brilliant 👍 Love a good sense of humour it's lacking these days lol

Never mind OP - look on the bright side. The lights will illuminate the way to the HP store for thousands of people, thus lining the coffers of JKR and enabling her to put millions more into fighting for the rights of women and girls! 🤍💜💚 🧙‍♂️

It's just marketing. They're having to put a lot of money behind this to market the reboot. Obviously worried about it not doing very well.

Oh dear, I do hope no one has suffered actual traumatic emotional violence from looking at Christmas lights.

I remember a few years ago when, in a premeditated and vicious attack on innocent people, some evil women tied purple and green ribbons on lampposts and literally hundreds, if not thousands, of trans people fell to the ground and had to be revived by being gently sung to by handmaidens.

The light display in Oxford Street has nothing to do with Sadiq Khan, so it was pointless emailing him. Not only is there is nothing transphobic about Harry Potter - what a stupid idea - but many of us like J K Rowling and support her stance on women's right to sex segregated spaces. Oxford Street obviously thinks they will be popular. I'd prefer angels myself, but I am not making a fuss about it, I'm not going to shop there.
