As a trans person, I appreciate the concern, but no, a joke like this does not detract from the serious harm she does, it highlights it, as the other commenter mentioned
It’s a joke around her hate making fun of her, and it’s a joke that often circulates in exactly the circles of the groups she directs hate at
Ridiculing the evil people do might not fix the problem, but it at least shows a signal that it’s bad and maybe helps create a bit of a culture of shame around being hateful. It should be embarrassing to be a hateful person
J.K. Rowling has entered the chat.
The mold has some interesting ideas about trans people.
Aw, looking back on my original comment now I feel a bit bad.
Like on one hand, haha evil mold-brained transphobe.
On the other, do the jokes kind of detract from and minimise the serious harm she and her ilk are actively causing real people on a day to day basis?
I think the jokes highlight, not distract.
