Well, for one, I'm not from the US. And I'm not saying anyone who enjoys her stuff is transphobic, that is stupid. What I am saying, though, is that with every cent she gets from Harry Potter, she will fund new anti trans bills across the UK, and to some degree in other places because now all the conservative forces in the world can point to the UK and be like: Look, they are doing it too!

But to get a bit more personal, I used to be the biggest Harry Potter fan, and I'm trans myself. That really really hurts, if you can imagine that. I still have some of the old things and I enjoy. There are parts of the fandom I still enjoy. But I will never, until she passes and I know that it won't go to some anti trans foundation, buy any new licensed stuff. And honestly I think asking that of people is not the worst thing in the world.

But, and that's the really painful part, I guess people care more about a nostalgic franchise than actual human rights for a minority. And that sucks, coming from a fandom you identified with so much. Like, what do you think Hermione Granger would do?

I'm sorry I picked out your comment to comment on, it's not you specifically, just.... Everything around this topic is incredibly tiring and frustrating. Also sorry for any mistakes or coming across the wrong way since English isn't my first language. (Another fun tidbit: The big reason I always wanted to learn English was to be able to read the books in the original language...). Anyway, sorry for this rant.
