Note to cis people:
If you watch and support Harry Potter series, you are funding the anti-trans crusade that is killing people like me and stripping away our rights. Experts have warned that in the US and UK the steps toward genocide against trans people are accelerating.
I ask:
Do you care more about nostalgia of fictional people?
or
Do you care about actual people like myself and our right to exist in society like you?
This isn't a trick question. Do the right thing please. #trans
Comrade, I get trying to get them to listen, but I promise that it ain't worth it. Save your energy for those who care. Anyone still supporting anything of this sort is doing it out of malicious intent or apathy so severe that they think we matter less than what is honestly the most boring ass work of fiction ever written. Their favorite writer is garbage and so are her fans. Let them be garbage and point your attention the fuck away from them.
When it is cathartic, cuz let's be honest it is sometimes, let them have it. Tell them how shitty they are and let them know that the world sees them, we see them, and we won't forget. But please, do yourself a favor and don't give them the grace of trying to help them grow. They don't deserve it, and they'll throw it away anyways.
@daarin I posted it as a reminder and to discuss tactics. Boycotting and divesting is a necessary tactic. I always forget how vicious transphobes can be since I tend to think the best of people.
I know many need to grieve HP, and I get that. I just don't want folks to get stuck in the denial stage of their grief, which it seems many are right now.
I've tried all sorts of ways to say the same message, and choose bluntness this time. It reached who it needed to reach.
