    Chait’s response to Rowling’s racist reply to him is exceptional.

      A completely normal way to respond to being asked to use folks pronouns…

      “You say you use she/her pronouns, but what if I said some dumb racist shit? Check mate un-TERFs!”

        It makes me wonder if she says things like, “hello, black person. Is this the line for the post office?”

          Wasn’t that a bit in a movie? Maybe the one where the family got locked in a nuclear bunker and thought the apocalypse happened? The dad comes out and says something like “look son! A <Spanish word for the color “black”>”?

          Or maybe it was the other way. Yeah…I think it was the adult-child, who lived his whole life in the bunker, that said that.

      It’s weird that she says

      what if I claim to be…

      Really missing the point that people ain’t claiming to be anything. It’s what they are.
