One thing I wish people would realize is just how central JK Rowling is to the entire anti-trans ecosystem. Looking at a network node analysis of the top 200 anti-trans X accounts, she is the most central figure spanning both sides of the Atlantic from Republicans to Labour.

A network graph visualization on a dark background showing connections between various accounts. The central, highly connected node is labeled "J.K. Rowling," with lines radiating out to many other nodes color-coded by region (UK, US, etc.). A detail panel on the right displays stats for her account, including her role as "Author & commentator," an in-degree of 153, an out-degree of 84, and 14 million followers.A scatter plot graph on a dark background comparing accounts based on "followers (log)" on the x-axis and "in-degree" on the y-axis. The data points are color-coded by region. J.K. Rowling is highlighted as a major outlier in the top right corner, possessing the highest number of followers and the highest in-degree. Other labeled points lower on the graph include various politicians, individuals, and campaign organizations.

Hey all, we still have a limited number of these charming stickers left over from our last Romancing the Vote. In honor of SCOTUS fuckery on today, the Trans Day of Visibility, we'd like to offer you the chance to get one. (Thread continues.)

A light green sticker that says FUCK SCOTUS. The "Fuck" is made up of capital letters that are actually composed of flowers. Underneath this, in small print, it says "(with an ethics code and six more justices)"

Hey folks, an Alberta trans elder has had to make the difficult decision to sell his home. Please share his GoFundMe (and donate if you can) to assist with the move, lawyers, etc. I don't know Scotty personally, but he is in several of my IRL friends' circles. www.gofundme.com/f/mutual-aid...

I would honestly love for reporters to actually push back on Julie Soto when she says that fanfic is an act of resistance, because what is her nazi sex slave fanfic resisting? Also extremely disappointed that you didn't mention JKR funding the court case that ruled transwomen aren't women
