By that time, I perfectly understood that many children who felt like outsiders found themselves in Potter. But what if I was a 12 year old girl who was excited to enter this fan club and would be immediately caustic punished for not belonging? I thought it was so interesting that you are passionate about these books, but in the process of life you behave in such a way that what I consider to be one of the worst human acts"



The writer also shared her feelings about that in recent years she has received death threats because of her public statements about transgender people. And all by the fact that she called trances - men in dresses.

At I have received threats that the police believe to be credible. Attempt intimidate and silence me is meant to serve as a warning to other women.
