Fair warning to any #HBOMax subscribers:
If you're getting adverts for a show called #LethalWhite by #RobertGalbraith and think it looks interesting, no you don't.
Robert Galbraith is a pen name used by #JKRowling and watching that show is the same as supporting #HogwartsLegacy and #transphobia.

  It's fascinating though. Just imagine the mental process!
  > To avoid my new show getting cancelled due to my transphobia I need to use a pen name that will obscure the real identity of the creator (i.e. me).
  > I will therefore use as a pen name the name of a guy who literally invented one of the ways used to torture gays and lesbians by homophobes for decades.
  > Why do you call me a transphobe? I am very smart!

He was profiled as a "famous American psychiatrist" in 1983 by Psychiatric Annals.Heath founded the Department of Psychiatry and Neurology at Tulane University, New Orleans, in 1949 and remained its chairman until 1980. He performed many experiments there involving electrical stimulation of the brain via surgically implanted electrodes.
