society as a baseline is transphobic or apathetic at best towards people who are transphobic, so most ppl don't care about her being a terf or know what terf means. most ppl aren't anti-semitic and actively dislike antisemites
nah that one I can believe. Like transphobia is from ignorance, and having your whole social knowledge challenged, after which people lash out. Unjustly ofc.
Bigots lashing out when challenged is unsurprising and they still deserve a bullet.
1000%. Do you know why people, like at the individual level, are antisemitic? Maybe it's just because I'm trans, but i've never even met a Jewish person, that I can't really imagine antisemites.
Aye, I get that, at the cultural level, but I'm wondering how people as individuals "justify it". Transphobia is cultural, social conditioning, and gnc ppl go against that social conditioning. So I can see how the social conditioning being broken can be "scary", esp for conservatives.
That I can't really imagine antisemitism might be because 75% of my country's Jewish population was killed by the Nazis, so maybe that says enough
That does say a lot on its own, but the individualistic justifications are pretty boilerplate bigotry. Everything from “it’s just a joke don’t make a big deal about it” to “they’re exclusively responsible for the societal changes that I don’t like”
anti-semitism is somewhat incomparable to transphobia in that it's infinitely more insidious, it's found in most of anti-communist rhetoric even if it's not blatant. people don't go "all jews should [minecraft words]" out loud because it's a super taboo to say it out loud, but there's hellla dogwhistles. half of anti-capitalist rhetoric you'll hear from chuds is just them swapping jews out with bankers or billionaires verbally, unfortunately. it's also genuinely the initial basis for like, 90% of white supremacist rhetoric, believe it or not.
speaking as a trans jew myself, transphobia is more of an outward reaction to a change in our societal workings, anti-semitism is moreso subtly baked into the very fabric of our society. fundamentally incomparable, both are major issues
You don’t look super hard. There’s tons of people who say “da Jews” are the secret cabal ruining everything. They just got good at hiding it or presenting it in a way that people don’t pick up as outright anti-semitism post holocaust.
Either way hateful ignorant tropes are hateful ignorant tropes and don’t need to be compared to other forms of oppression. We can focus on more than one thing at a time

Hermione is literally described as having white skin in the books. This was just a cynical retcon. Either way it’s fucked up.
For real? This is one I’d never caught. Then again, RK seems to describe every single woman she doesn’t like as having “mannish” hands

Holy shit it’s been there the whole time
