This is Rowling's pinned tweet, and yet, just this week, she is funding legal cases against Féile Belfast and Amnesty International for exercising their free speech and fair opinion. She is using her massive wealth to terrorise these orgs into compilance, because she doesn't believe in free speech.
The Guardian's key role in the artificially created rise in transphobia, and its determination to avoid even acknowledging the issue in political coverage, is why I will never, ever be anything but annoyed at their pop ups begging for money. Want my money? Don't be shitbags.
