Oh btw, if I haven't made my stance clear before, let me say it again.
You are fucking spineless if you cannot let go of Harry Potter, yes it is that serious.
If you cannot put the safety and happiness of real life trans people over your enjoyment of a fictional wizard, then you cannot call yourself an ally. Even pirating the series, even buying merch second hand, even denouncing JK Rowling, even if you headcanon every single one of her characters as transgender, you cannot separate the series from the harm it has done.
Rowling will not see your "every Harry Potter character is trans!" Post. You are not 'owning' her. You know who will see those posts? Trans people. Trans people who will now know that you put your enjoyment of a children's book over their lives.
It is this serious when trans people are losing their rights because of the money put into Rowling's pockets, the money she made from Harry Potter.
I fully support the idea of being critical of the media you consume, and in some cases you can separate the art from the artist. That works for people like H P Lovecraft, who is dead, and Nintendo, who, despite their racism, are not using their money to eradicate Arabs.
It doesn't matter if it shaped your childhood, it doesn't matter if you pirate or hate watch the new series. You need to move on. Read another book, maybe even a book written for adults this time.
