I'm A Trans Harry Potter Fan, And There Are A Few Things I Want J.K. Rowling To Know

Huff Post  

The message for J.K. Rowling: "Yes, trans women and cis women are different, but no one is taking anything from you." Karwai Tang via Getty Images Author’s note: This letter is solely from my perspective as a trans woman on harm being done to other trans women. I knew that I was trans but my only context for trans women at that point was an episode of ”Jerry Springer” that I saw when I stayed home from school one day. I remember when I initially came out as trans to a cis woman I love, one of the things she said was that she had endured so much sexism in her life and that it was a hard pill to swallow that I was just now “claiming womanhood.” I believe that sentiment is common among many cis women who do not understand trans identity. It’s even more devastating that you’ve chosen this exact moment to engage in this rhetoric, when there is currently a long overdue global uprising calling for an end to racism and police brutality and demanding that we value and uplift Black lives ― including the lives of Black trans women.
