«Quando un autore dichiara che tutte le vendite dei suoi libri contribuiranno a un fondo anti-trans, l'unico modo in cui possiamo scegliere di non partecipare è non venderne più i libri».
La libreria #Booksmith di #SanFrancisco spiega perché ha smesso di vendere i titoli dell'autrice #transfobica #JKRowling.

She may or may not be on board though
Hurray! Another San Francisco bookstore is following Booksmith's example and pulling Harry Potter books.
From the SF Chronicle:
Fabulosa Books followed suit on Wednesday, June 25.
The queer Castro bookstore shared a picture of a whiteboard to its Instagram account with the message, “We are no longer buying + selling books by J.K. Rowling as she is devoting her life to nastiness.”
The caption thanks Booksmith for “setting a good example.”

"When the author of a book states that all sales of those books will contribute to an anti-trans fund, the only way we can choose not to participate is by not selling the books any longer. "
- #SanFrancisco bookstore #Booksmith on why they've stopped selling titles by #transphobic author #JKRowling.
San Francisco indie bookstore, The Booksmith, collectively chose to stop selling Jk Rowling's books in June, 2025 after she launched a “women’s fund” in May aimed at dismantling transgender rights and proclaimed that the proceeds from the sales of her books would go toward these transphobic efforts.
“There’s a direct throughline between what [Rowling’s] doing with the money she’s making on book sales as a living author who’s still collecting royalties and something that, frankly, harms us and our trans siblings and people that we care about in our community,” said Booksmith co-owner Camden Avery.
Many have accused them of censorship, cancel culture and book banning. Avery responded by saying "It’s false pearl-clutching and a misapprehension of what censorship is. .. We’re exercising our First Amendment right to operate a private business in line with our values.”
