+(response to the comment_ on the topic of femslash)
+
+Let me intrude this thread again and reanimate this inferi of
+a thread. I was thinking about this discussion when following the
+last furore on JKR’s Twitter `about transgender issues`_ (and
+`her statement`_). For the record, I 100% agree with her.
+
+It is sad how the Real Life intrudes on our escapism.
+
+What made me write this comment was rereading this paragraph
+(told by Professor McGonagall):
+
+ it appears that [Lavender’s] primary concern in sharing
+ a dorm with you is that she is uncomfortable sharing a space
+ with someone that she thinks might look at her in a … less
+ than platonic manner
+
+This is the line which seems to indicate that the top of the
+Astronomy Tower is the only acceptable place for homosexuals (and
+even they have to be somehow separated). I think the only answer
+is that the complainant should grow a pair of gender-appropriate
+body organs, because there is not and there should not be much to
+do about it otherwise.
+
+JKR links to the article_ defending existence of the biological
+sex from a lesbian and including this chilling statement “I’ve
+never felt as shouted down, ignored, and targeted as a lesbian
+*within* our supposed GLBT community as I have over the past
+couple of years.” Of course, not having any personal contact with
+the homosexual community (not using the abbreviation, because
+I cannot remember all letters which are included and there will
+be new one there tomorrow anyway), I have learned for the first
+time about this pretty wild conflict between lesbians and
+transgender women (i.e., male → female conversion).
+
+like many trans-woman are lesbians running from homophobia
+
+like butch lesbians are maltreated.
