Well. I've seen a lot of blogs I follow try to reclaim Harry Potter. I thought I'd make a post here because people will listen to me on this blog.

You cannot separate Harry Potter from JK Rowling. You're not getting at her by making the Harry Potter characters transgender. The UK is having a resurgence of transphobia because of her donations. Piracy is not resistance. Buying the games second hand or on sale is not resistance. You are bowing down like a dog to a transphobic Holocaust denier.

"Be gay, do crime". People can't even give up a series where slavery is ok because the slaves like it. You can't reclaim Harry Potter and claim to support our trans siblings as well. It's baffling that some people will have a hard time choosing between the two.

No amount of nostalgia or personal comfort can justify supporting what JK Rowling is doing. She is influencing UK law. She said before that she believes any Harry Potter fan supports her beliefs. And even if you can't let go because of her hatred, maybe you can let go to at least help trans people feel safe.

Gay ships and trans headcanons are not a form of protest. Boycotting is. Boycott Harry Potter, if not for self respect, then for your trans friends, family, or even yourself.
