Can they get refunds from her of their book purchases, too? Asking for a friend...

It doesn’t hurt to ask… hundreds of times!

And don't forget to misgender JK Rowling when you're asking him for a refund. Misgendering is perfectly acceptable if you disagree with someone's self-identified gender! /s

I don’t go that far.

What I mean is I recently had a boss who was an asshole. His name was rob. I got him fired because he kept making my employees cry. Which if you know anything about being a manger you don’t make your employees cry. Even if the employees did something wrong attacking them isn’t the solution a good manager explains things sinmply.

My point is when my employees would say “I hate that f*ggot” I would correct them. Rob is gay but that isn’t the issue. Let’s not bring the whole gay community into this! Rob sucks, not gay people. Well gay people probably suck if they want provider there partner with enjoyment… not my point.

My point is: no I won’t misgender jkr. She wouldn’t care and it would only hurt more trans people. Don’t misgender jkr. It isn’t trans people’s fault she’s an insufferable bitch. Don’t bring that argument to their door. Trans people have a har enough time as it is. The whole point we are making is “let them be a girl/guy if they want to be a girl/guy! Let people be themselves” we don’t get there by saying well then I’ll misgender you right back!”

I under it scratched that revenge itch but it makes things worse for everyone. Don’t do that.

It’s like torturing someone until they admit torture is pointless. Your kinda pissing on your own argument at that point.

honestly don't even joke about that, you would literally just be shooting yourself in the foot
