JKR's Tweet - Hold My Butterbeer Episode 5.5

Hold My Butterbeer - A Wizarding World Canon Podcast

We are taking a break from our regularly scheduled discussion to address JK Rowling’s recent tweet about the Maya Forstater case. We feel it is important to address this and other statements made by Jo which have been seen to many as transgender-exclusionary. We discuss our views on this subject, the idea of separating art from creator, and share resources for being strong allies to the trans and non-binary communities. The following is a list of the resources mentioned in today’s episode:JK Rowling’s tweet: https://twitter.com/jk_rowling/status/1207646162813100033Twitter feed providing trans research from the medical community: https://twitter.com/cmclymer/status/1207732950109970433Pottercast Episode 15.2: Sorting It Out: http://pottercast.mischiefmedia.com/15-2-sorting-it-out-j-k-rowling-transphobia-and-what-just-happened-to-our-community-with-jackson-bird/List of YA books by Trans authors: https://www.nypl.org/blog/2019/06/14/reading-trans-literary-landscapehttps://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/list/share/1267394437/1334598469https://coreysbookcorner.wordpress.com/2019/03/01/early-2019-books-with-trans-or-non-binary-authors/https://fvrl.bibliocommons.com/list/share/425275057/834392528https://www.springfieldlibrary.org/library/book-list-young-adult-books-about-transgender-people/You can reach us by email at [email protected], on Instagram at www.instagram.com/holdmybutterbeerpod/, and on Facebook at www.facebook.com/holdmybutterbeerpod/ --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/holdmybutterbeer/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/holdmybutterbeer/support
