    sideline women or box them into tired tropes

    Which makes it mind bogglingly insane how many claimed “feminists” support her because of her stance on trans people.

    Hermoine and Ron ending up together is shit. He treats her like garbage throughout the series.

    Bellatrix is presented as this fucked up “Daddy’s Little Monster” to Voldemorts Joker.

    All of the “good” women are passive little teachers and moms.

    What happens to Tonks is especially gross as shit. You have a GNC women. Goes by a shorten, masc-ish name. Short hair, colors, dresses ambiguously.

    Then she gets married off to the other queer coded character. (Werewolf = HIV, I’m pretty sure she straight up said that at one point.) He calls her her extremely feminine birth name, and iirc the text even mentions that she is vaguely uncomfortable with that? Then gets knocked up and killed off. She gets to die a “proper woman.”

    TERFs say “trans men shouldn’t transition! Just be a non confoming woman!” But it’s a fucking front. They are a conservatives in disguise. They don’t want GNC people to exist, just like they don’t want trans people to exist. “Just be non-binary! But also, shave your legs and wear makeup and make sure to present in a feminine way.”

    If I was a billionaire feminist who could buy courts, I could think of several better priorities.
