Tinashe was quick to shut down J.K. Rowling's latest anti-trans coded comments on Twitter this InternationalWomensDay.
films declaring their opposition to her beliefs, Rowling has continued inserting herself into Twitter discussions about trans issues. Most recently, she slammed British Shadow Minister for Equalities Anneliese Dodds for saying the definition of “woman” is different depending on the context.
“Someone please send the Shadow Minister for Equalities a dictionary and a backbone,” she tweeted. She then referenced her own infamous book villain, Voldemort, writing: “Apparently, under a Labour government, today will become We Who Must Not Be Named Day.” Rowling’s recycling of her same controversial rhetoric combined with the reference to her own work was a little too much for some people to handle, including Tinashe. “Oh my god, SHUT UP” she replied to the 56-year-old author. The “Lean On Me” artist has made her support of the trans community clear for years,
in 2017, “Transgender people are beautiful and important. They deserve respect and love, just like the rest of us.”
