JK Rowling got angry at a meme telling transphobes to shut up, so she compared it to torturing suffragettes. Because of course she did.

Awestruck by the level of ego it must take for Rowling to compare her war on trans people to the freaking suffragette movement.

These posters were created by the anti- suffrage league to try make the look undesirable to the public! Being shown as ‘ugly’ just fuelled the suffragettes more and to prove them wrong they made sure they stuck to the feminine image in public!
