I'll be honest it REALLY freaks me out when normies get super-emotional about JK Rowling and use the word TERF. It's obvious neither the mother nor the daughter actually know what JK Rowling said, but it doesn't stop them from being ignorant drama queens about it. I fear that even though JKR peaked some people, she just confused the fuck out of most people (the type that are too lazy to research and think for themselves) and pushed them further into TRA's arms.

The post in question:

To be fair, though, it looks like this isn't just a "T**F" thing for the OP:

My mom has always made my birthday parties Harry Potter themed, to the point where it's embarrassing now and my friends make fun of it, but thankfully not in a bad way; they've always been good about getting me gifts that I actually want, and will usually take me out for Starbucks and a pedicure after my mom is done making us all cringe for an afternoon.

Sounds like his/her mom has been doing this for years... I would probably storm out too, trans debate or no. That sounds really frustrating.

Edit: This is actually nuts, the mom named her kid Hermione and then has forced her to have a Harry Potter themed birthday every year she's been alive? I mean I believe it's possible, that's some classic narcissist behavior on the mom's part. I hope it's fake for OP's sake, though...
