Alright. Let's get this morning started with a deep dive into the transphobia against trans men that Pamela Paul's defense of JK Rowling both contributes to and ignores.

Yes, I will keep beating this drum. Because Rowling's transphobia against trans men is some of the most explicitly stated transphobia she has engaged in, and I have quotes for days.

Pamela Paul Doesn’t Know What Transphobia Is — Assigned

The New York Times columnist includes trans men in a group she refers to as “biological women” while declaring J. K. Rowling free of transphobia.

"If we could once and for all remove the obscuring cloud that renders trans men invisible in the discussion about trans rights, Rowling’s transphobia would be laid bare to all for see."

(loud applause)

Trans men are so, so erased in so many of these discussions, it's horrible. Simply not mentioned as existing, even when the discussion is about their rights.

We need to be putting their existence front and centre so that this erasure cannot happen any more.
