People engaging in Harry Potter fandom does not prevent trans people from being able to exist, and feeling uncomfortable or mad is not "harm," except in your tiny, narcissistic imagination. Also, JK Rowling is not a fascist. Fascist doesn't mean "person I dislike" or "person who has views I take issue with." It doesn't even mean "person whose views I find abhorrent." It's a specific ideology, not a bogey man.

The reality is that people like you are histrionic bullies. You suck, not because you're either trans or supportive of trans people, but because the company you keep lies, exaggerates, badgers, belittles, tries to ruin lives, and sometimes issues death and rape threats in order to control others. Your alignment with a particular identity doesn't give you a pass for being at best a whinging child and at worst a giant asshole, and the sooner people stop carrying water for the likes of you, the better for us all.

This is some of the more cleverly disguised transphobia I've run into here. Lies and hatred mixed stealthily with some very valid points about fandom bullying to put people off track. Well done.

No. Like with muslims, the huge issue is that you don't hold the bad eggs in your community accountable, you just No-True-Scotsman them or ignore it.

So you're Islamophobic too, got it.

I don't think you're emotionally mature enough for this conversation.

No, I just hear a deafening silence from Muslim communities every time an Islamist asshole kills people in my country but see countless rallies pro-Hamas and other Muslim causes and solidarity by non-Muslims any time something even remotely bad happens to one of them.

Plenty of Muslims condemn the bad actors. From what I've seen, the denial usually comes from non-Muslims who think they're being good allies.

Re: DA

Nah. At least not where I live. Every time anything even remotely bad happens to anyone from their community, they get rallies in solidarity with them by non-Muslims and loud, public reactions by non-Muslims who feel the need to make clear that they are on their side. Whenever there are attacks by Muslims, especially directed at non-Muslims, you get crickets from their communities and barely any reactions because no true Scotsman and also because a lot of them secretly agree with the attackers.

Holy derailment, Batman!

I'm sorry if you can't follow a very simple line of conversation, hun.

Listen. At some point, if you keep calling it "transphobia" when assholes who happen to be trans are called out for being assholes, then not only is the word gonna stop having any power, but people are gonna associate "asshole" with "trans."

If you don't reject the bad actors from your community, then your community will be defined by them. And if you treat people poorly, then you will be defined by that behavior, regardless of your identity.

Oh, really? That's funny, cishet white men never seem to have a problem being defined by the worst of their actions.

Re: DA

Cishet white men absolutely have a problem with being defined by the worst of their actions. Most of the so-called "crisis of masculinity" (the falling rates of college attendance, the rising unemployment, the "deaths of despair," the gradual freezing out in certain industries) is a direct result of their bad actions catching up to them.
