Shakespeare in Drag

When I met up with my family on Saturday, one of my brothers stated that JK Rowling was a thoroughly unpleasant person.  I did not challenge him on this, though my two children knew that I wanted to.  It was a family meal and while I do feel strongly about her views, I agree with a lot of them.

However she is often given a lot of stick for increasing transphobia which does exist.  I am not sure if this is due to the increased visibility of non-binary people, or the way that people are trying to discriminate against them (in ways that JK Rowling and I would disagree with). 

What was interesting was this video on how gender boundaries have been blurred for a long time. 


Also, just in case those who are more transphobic than me try to say that trans issues have not been present for a while, this video is of interest.
