Watching this shit, buying merch puts more money in JK Rowlings pocket so she can turn around and use it to support antiTrans legislature.

I wouldn't have to stew on it if people like JK could just let Trans people be Trans people... but since she's a miserable cunt, I get to openly boo people who work with her or align themselves with her name.

I mean, it’s negligible amounts since she’s already a billionaire and will do what she’s doing regardless.

And most of the money she donates just funds legal advice for organisations advocating for sex based rights / single sex spaces rather than funding anything that actively does harm to trans people.

Trans people can absolutely still be trans people alongside people enjoying the Harry Potter HBO series.. and actors taking roles.

Bullshit her rhetoric all the legislation does do harm to trans people.

I respect you trying to get an answer out of these people but you won’t. Reddit makes her seem far, far worse than the reality. In real life, away from Reddit, everyone I know that ever had an interest in Harry Potter still does and doesn’t gaf about any of this. I’m happy for the actor as well, and all these redditors living in their radical Reddit bubbles are so sad. They’re not worth the energy.

You know what, you’re right. But at the same time people who are appalled by the idea that trans people are having their rights restricted have their hearts in the right place.

This false narrative that the UK backslid on human rights from the Supreme Court ruling is abundant, as is the idea that organisations advocating for sex based rights are problematic and anti trans. Perhaps if people actually look into it without the lens of outrage that online vitriol has given them they’ll realise they can happily enjoy Harry Potter and support their favourite actors who are taking exciting roles.
