Between living in the midst of a global pandemic, the continued protests for the Black Lives Matter movement, and with everyone struggling and hurting and just trying to survive, it feels like the world is on fire lately. Despite all of that, once-beloved Harry Potter author J. K. Rowling had to continually open her mouth to spew hateful TERF rhetoric. What’s worse is when she was called out on this behavior by not only Twitter but by the actors of the Harry Potter movies who have distanced themselves from her, Rowling has dug her heels in, going so far to pettily delete a tweet supporting author Stephen King when he tweeted in support of trans women.

With that being said, there are plenty of trans and nonbinary authors out there to support who are still writing for kids and teens, including trans kids and teens who can see their identities respectfully reflected in books by authors who look like them—and that's more important than a once-respected author's hateful rhetoric and alienation of her fans.
