The Illegal Trans Woman – Ep. 85: JK Rowling And The Media Erasure Of Trans Voices
To start this week’s show, I reflect on the deeply harmful actions of JK Rowling, examining her virulent anti-transgender activism and the disturbing exclusion of trans women from vital shelter services in Scotland. We also delve into Amnesty International’s recent report correctly identifying the TERF movement as a serious threat to human rights. Later, I am joined by Evan Urquhart from Assigned Media to discuss his crucial reporting on the New York Times’ persistent failure to adequately represent and include trans voices in their coverage. Finally, I wrap up the episode by analyzing alarming anti-trans rhetoric from recent political conferences, breaking down the severe lack of trans representation in major films, and sharing updates on my upcoming Pacific Northwest road trip.
