On behalf of Scotland, I'm so sorry my home country spawned such hateful trash.

You had me look it up as I had assumed she was English, and learned that her mother was of French and Scottish descent...
I'd like to join in the apology, from the other side of the channel. It sucks that the Auld Alliance's legacy is tainted by this terf piece of shit.

You're not responsible for awful people who happen to have been born on the same plot of dirt as you (as an American, I really need this to be true)

But what about my jokes and ability to do black and white generalisations?

I tend to read it as "they do not speak for me". If you don't speak up, then many people believe you agree with them, by default.
By apologising, you are saying you actively disagree, but don't want to get bogged down in the details. You might not stand directly with the victims, but you do stand beside them, against the abusers, and want them to know.

"Harry Potter and the Myth of Consensual Sex" would have sold better.

"Testis tortius!" - screamed Harry at the awful trans ally male, Draco. Draco begun screaming out from his throat, while slowly collapsing onto the floor, where he started vomiting from the intense pain.
"Why Harry, why? What kind of arguments you have against trans women?" - ejaculated Draco.
"They wanted to make the writer of this book JK Rowling pay taxes!" - ejaculated Harry - "They didn't even treat her token approach for diversity like the second best thing ever. Now look at us: I am the Gigachad wizard cop, and you're the soyjak suffering from testicular tortion!"
Just a damn shame, really. For all the criticisms of the Harry Potter books over the years, I still hold dear to my heart the memories of reading them, watching the adaptions, and listening to the Jim Dale audiobooks. But those memories are irrevocably tarnished knowing who the author turned out to be. What young adult me saw as a progressive subtext now reads a whole lot more conservative and conformist.
