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.

That was for the opening of the harry potter store

Thanks for the chuckle Op.
Down with this sort of thing indeed.

🤣🤣

It is their hobby dontcha know?

Just a small correction, there was supposed to be many more but four did not show up because they were too busy instructing their mum on what to post on FWR threads, as per their duty rota.

the rest were busy on Tik Tok complaining about micro aggressions and not being able to work due to severe anxiety.

Pity they didn't let nature take its course 🙂

We need to boycott the lights

Hopefully it will be as successful as the boycott of Hogwarts Legacy that bit so hard that only 40 million copies were sold

People lying on the street is apparently a H&S issue, so they were moved. And it was raining and the pink hair dye was running.

Its the Greeks I’m really against to be honest.

People love to have a bogeyman (or in this case woman) to hate. They could be protesting against the authoritarian leaders of countries where being gay or trans is illegal, but instead it's a British writer who disagrees with their opinions, hmm.

The article says that the lights are for marketing for JK Rowling who says that she uses funds from HP to fund anti trans causes which is pretty distasteful

Chapeau!

Nooo, she funds pro women causes….

The GLP you mean? Yes, I think you are probably right.

@Blinky21 what’s an anti trans cause?

The three main child actors can't attend because of safety fears. What a shower of shit these people are.

Oh I don't know, it's good to have options...

(This may be the geekiest joke ever made on MN)

The real shocker is that celebrating a Christian festival with wizards is blasphemous.

How can Christmas lights be transphobic? Whaaaat?????

Haven't been to see the lights in yonks...but this year I just may 😂

Yes, trans people will literally die because of the Christmas lights!

JKR actually said she uses funds from HP to fund anti trans causes which is pretty distasteful?

Can you link to that quote please? This I must see!

JKR funds a female only sexual assault service (Beiras place) and she's been called transphobic specifically in relation to this. So, that's one of the anti trans causes that HP funds

@Bitchyfrench
Is this post tongue in cheek?
If not all I can say is LOL.

I think cupboards has been diverted <rushes over to FWR>

No, that's vampires. Different book.

Come to think of it - is there such a thing as a transvampire?
