The new Harry Potter show is upon us, and while there's debate as to how much JK Rowling is involved in the running of the show, the fact remains: it's her IP. It makes money, she makes money.

If you watch it, if you buy HP merch, if you visit the HP park attractions, if you make others curious to watch it, etc., you are funding this TERF's persecution of trans people.

So, don't.

J.K. Rowling uses personal wealth to fund anti-trans org

This is where "Harry Potter" profits are going.

What should I feel about my granddaughters applying to be extras in the school scenes?

@pthane Given you have grandkids, you probably know how you feel and why about most anything.

In the off chance this is a good faith question, here's my answer:

A good friend doesn't let a friend date a Nazi; a good grandparent doesn't let their grandchildren go into supporting a TERF uninformed. Whatever happens after they know, it's their decision.

Older one is 14 and might understand the issues. The younger (9) not so much. But even at my age it's not simple. There's a long history of unpleasant people making great art, or even mediocre movies. There's a lot of heat and not much understanding on all sides of sex/gender issues. Rowling has her opinion and a right to campaign for it. I don't agree, I guess you don't either and we have a right to protest but Rowling is the wrong

"I disagree with what you say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it."
I don't agree with Rowling but...

There is a separate issue about how the wealthy can use their wealth to influence politics. That's tricky too.
