So the new Harry Potter HBO show has cast its three kid leads. Don’t care. Not in the least. I won’t be watching and I urge you not to watch either.

I won’t do anything to support Rowling and her anti-trans bigotry and cruel crusade against the trans community. She can go right to hell. 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

@gedeonm I voiced this opinion IRL. Someone said to me but don’t you have empathy for how she was brought up & her struggles that made her this way.

My response was that people can have a bad time growing up. I had many things happen to me that could have radicalized me. I could have been an evil person. But I have a sense of right & wrong. I can decipher good & evil. I can educate myself to be open minded. I chose a different path. She cannot & will not. Your past doesn’t make you who you are. You have a choice to be who you become & have the will to change.

@iRalph @gedeonm plenty of people who grew up poor and didn't turn into bigots. Many such cases.

@iRalph @gedeonm also what does it matter? Thus far she's used her wealth to punch down at marginalized people. No evidence she plans to change that policy. So pragmatically she should ideally be deprived of wealth
