I did reach out to her on Twitter. She verified this is her account and that she set it up to keep anyone else from spoofing her.
Obviously, she has a lot going on now, but I'm hopeful as well that she'll join us here when she's able!

"It is deeply unsurprisingly to me that the community responded the way it did. Its not just one of our own that has been silenced. It happened after a session where bills have targeted us, struggling for equal treatment under the law."

We've created a consumer mentality that permeates much of our experience. "Here we are now. Entertain us!"
Sometimes people are just afraid. Many have just left a place where they might have been scared to post.

They're lionizing jk Rowling.
As a trans woman, when I see someone whitewashing Rowling, who has shown herself to be quite transphobic, it tells me a lot about the person posting.
