Harry Potter gets a trans character...and you won't believe why the woke mob is STILL upset.
If they don't have a reason to be outraged, they will invent one.

This story made me laugh so hard when I saw it last night that I hoped it would give you a good laugh too. Laughing, as they say, heals the soul.
If you’re connected to the unwoke space at all, it’s hard to miss that Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling is the woke left’s favorite transphobe. Rowling has unapologetically advocated for biological women, pushing back against radical trans activists who denounce her and her secret transphobia almost every day. It seems like every single time rowling tweets, there’s a new trans controversy popping up.
And now the new Harry Potter video game, Hogwarts Legacy, is just the next piece of evidence that Rowling is the evil transphobe they all believe she is.
But probably not for the reason you think.
Before I reveal what’s so offensive about the video game, I want to remind you that the woke are addicted to outrage. Their actions towards individuals they deem offensive are not to achieve fairness and justice in the world - it is only to outrage feed their addiction.
If they do not have a reason to be outraged, they will invent a reason to be outraged to get their fix. Read more about it in this essay in my Woke Mind series:
So, what is the mob so outraged about?
When the game developers introduced a trans character to try to balance out the negative press, they named the character Sirona Ryan.
Sirona is an old Celtic name for the goddess of healing.
And apparently, it’s just a little too masculine for the tastes of the trans activists because “Sirona” has SIR in it:
What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.
Except when you’re a radical trans activist. Then everything smells like mud.
Trust me, if it wasn’t that, they would find another reason to be upset. But you must admit that this particular rationalization is amusing!
The lesson in this is that the mob is never upset at the thing they are claiming to be upset over. When you’re not addicted to outrage, it can be very easy to take their concerns more seriously than they deserve to be taken - that’s what empathic human beings do.
But always keep in mind that the woke left are not reasonable human beings and should not be treated as such. They will use your reasonableness against you.
And remember, it’s ok to laugh when things are funny. The woke left hate nothing more than when you laugh at them.
SIRona RYAN.
What a beautiful troll.

Fight back against the woke and support my work
I believe the woke - on the left and the right - are an existential threat to our values as Americans. Some of them know it, most of them are just useful innocents. Regardless, fighting back against this woke cultural revolution is my full-time job. I’m dedicated to exposing the woke ideology in our country, helping people to understand what’s going on, and providing spaces for non-woke people to connect, support each other, and plan ways to fight back.
Here’s how you can help.
This reminds me back in the day when feminism wasn't intersectional when they claimed HIStory was a symbol of the patriarchy because it was his story.
in reading your Substack and listening to you on YT, I see how wokeism exists on both sides of the aisle: authoritarian. seeking to oust and cancel. addicted to outrage. I always think of it only in the left, but I see how the right follows this ideology, as well. and they’re all never satisfied.
