Sometimes I wonder if we want to destroy those who disagree with us, because social media is a 2D experience. My sister knows me so well I could say anything to her and she would get it, top to bottom, inside and out. Even if I said something shameful, she knows my true heart, who I really am, so the words traveling past my lips are a moment in time, a very small portion of my existence. She is able to understand what I mean and what I don’t mean, no matter what comment I make. Now we have social media, which may not be the best tool for truly getting to know someone. Maybe it serves some kind of purpose there, but to really know someone is to know them through ups and downs, changes for better and worse, and to have compassion all the while. Rowling shares her opinion, and insanity breaks out. I feel like my heart catches some understanding when she mentioned how she was misunderstood. Fans fell in love with her book (a made up story ironically) but they do not know her. And with all of that, why is there is absolute requirement to agree with every single thing that transgender people think , say, and do? In any other situation that would be odd. To question and to challenge and to disagree is not only normal, but healthy.
