Isn't the whole point the fact that the HP franchise is so big/universal that it ISN'T just fandom affected?

The news this week is that it's open season on trans women of color. We've already blown past the 2019 numbers, and it looks like those murders are becoming more brazen. And the statehouse here is trying to criminalize gender-affirming therapy, including talk therapy.

So honestly, how potterheads choose to spend their money is far less important to me than the health and safety of the people around me.

Except a pop media person encouraging transphobia feeds into violence. It's not always a direct cause, but this is NOT just "oh she said some stuff so sad but these people are MURdERING so why care"

This. Especially when people are as well known, important, and popular as Rowling, it absolutely does have an effect and play a role.

She demonstrates all the conviction of an overcooked noodle on this issue. She's consistently inconsistent, flipping between dumb transphobia and half-assed apology. And she gets dogpilled regardless. If she dropped dead tomorrow, it would have negligible effect on the violence and discrimination I worry about, for myself and my peers.

We're passing articles about what we need to be safe by word-of-mouth. We're relying on friend-of-a-friend accounts of how things are really working, like what cities do we need to avoid when traveling. We're trying to read between the negative space of what isn't getting reported.

Is it safe to disclose my gender at the hospital later this month given the Trump administration's health care policy and the hospital's Catholic affiliation? The fuck if I know. That's the sort of thing that isn't getting covered. But wow, having an opinion about Rowling having an opinion is super important. Y'all really have my back there.

The homophobic males who kill trans women aren't paying attention to what the fuck JK Rowling is typing about on Twitter. The homophobic males who hurt and kill trans women aren't listening to what "terf" lesbians are saying at women's rights panels. The only people who are hanging on every word that "terfs" say are the Very Online Left, and it's probably a tiny minority of them that care.

This. The kind of men who murder trans women are the same kind of men who also mock Rowling.
