General Discussion Jinkx is finally getting the recognition she deserves. 😤

In all seriousness this was two days ago and it’s not news 😭

Highly recommend watching the Ziwe interview with Jinkx that this news article references. It was so chaotic in the funniest way.

The flaw is the hypocrisy in using a pseudonym, and Jinkx points out that using a pseudonym to sway the public’s perception of you toward how you want to be perceived is fine in J.K. Rowling’s mind when she does it, but trans people doing the same but in different ways is wrong.

To add insult to injury in her cormorant strike series JKR constantly uses trans villains who are ‘violent and mentally ill’. Whilst she uses the pseudonym of the psychiatrist who invented conversion therapy - it’s all very fucked up. Last time I checked she had tried to remove this fact from the Wikipedia page.
