@fullfathomfive And/or the works of Ursula K. Le Guin who is a far better role model for female fantasy writer than Rowling will ever be. And was both progressive as heck, AND still open minded enough to evolve ever further over the years.

Pratchett and Le Guin absolutely beat the crud out of Rowling's derivative wizard school (heck, even the name Harry Potter was used before her. In 1986 movie Troll. Which was also about magic & had Harry Potter Sr & Jr).

I love how in "The Left Hand of Darkness" by LeGuin, characters can change their genders! They can be a mother - and a father - and a neither. Fascinating story.

@mizblueprint @fullfathomfive And published in 1969 too. I once used it as an example to some folk on twitter some years ago where I told them some of the themes before revealing the year it was published. And as expected, some idiots claimed it was "woke propaganda" and "gender ideology insanity fad". After I told them it came out in 1969 I was called a "liar" and "trying to rewrite history". With what? A time machine? Neither the TARDIS or Delorean toys on my shelf are really capable of that 😋
