TRAs out again to target JK Rowling

Activists call out JK Rowling with chalk messages outside Harry Potter and the Cursed Child (msn.com)

Was surprised to see that only the messages were shown in the article and that they all looked to be in a similar handwriting - no images of the supporting crowd

Turns out the protest was no more than a handful

Have we passed peak-trans?

Let's hope so.

All childish protests should be cursed.

Not the best venue for a protest. It’s two great plays and most of the people there will have forked out a fair bit of money and will be really looking forward to it. Four masked teenagers who don’t like the names mummy and daddy gave them are not going to cut much ice. Trans kids deserve better strategy?

It’s getting a bit boring now. She isn’t cancelled, she’s nowhere near being cancelled and never will be (despite what they say on Twitter). All they are doing is highlighting that they have zero influence on the general public.

I have to say one of my guilty pleasures is going on Instagram or Facebook and reading Harry Potter related promotional posts - Tom Felton taking the part of Lucius Malfoy in the Cursed Child on Broadway was a recent one. Seeing the love for the Harry Potter universe from its fans is delightful. It always warms the cockles of my heart.

These protesters are always just few broken hearted ex Potter fans who have a Nimbus 2000 and a Lego hogwarts in their parents attic.

Gosh it's such toddler tactics isn't it? How unpleasant of them to disrupt an expensive and probably long-awaited day out for others in this way.

One of my DDs is HEAVILY into Harry Potter at the moment and waiting for the day she can go to Cursed Child. Lots of HP merch purchased this Christmas!

I'm listening ahead on audiobooks so I can ensure I'm well prepared for any issues (she's a bit young really for where she's at in the books but is VERY determined and loves the world so much and it's expanded her vocabulary so much).

I've got to the bit in the audiobooks where Tom Riddle (aka Voldemort) comes to ask Dumbledore for a job at the school. Dumbledore calls him Tom, Tom/Volde complains about this and tries to get Dumbledore to call him Voldemort and Dumbledore refuses. Very politely but the answer is a very firm no. Dumbledore knows him as Tom, recognises him as Tom and Tom is what he will call him.

It's a good example of exerting a personal boundary around a narcissist / bully. For some reason it made me think about the women on here and the fight for women's rights. We'll be having a long chat about that bit when we get there. 😁

Not the ideal time of year for a chalk-based protest either. But hey, maybe it's trans-summer and the weather forecast is just hateful MAGA lies.

More mature then the ones replacing the book covers with book titles like "Toilet Constable".

Pink News did us all a favour by not including any photos of the protesters, Defund Transphobes is that massive bloke who dresses as Harley Quinn and shouts at children in Lego stores.
Look up Jes Jester 🤡
