Steven King, Margaret Atwood And Others Join To Fight Transphobia
“Authors Stephen King, Neil Gaiman, and Margaret Atwood have joined with other American and Canadian writers and editors to support transgender and non-binary people in the face of Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling’s continual attacks on the community.
“We are writers, editors, journalists, agents, and professionals in multiple forms of publishing,” the wrote in a statement. “We believe in the power of words. We want to do our part to help shape the curve of history toward justice and fairness.””
After a shameful short of support from her fellow British writers, American and Canadien authors came out to support transgender people in an obvious rebuke to JK Rowling and her continued and bizarre transphobic stances. Such as shame, she was was a bright shining star that valued equality for all people. Why she chose to go down this anti-LGBTQ avenue will remain a mystery to me.
