This is what a lot of people don't seem to realise about Rowling. It's not just mean comments on Twitter. It's not even just donations to regressive political parties. She *actively bankrolls* the entire transphobic lobby in the UK. Laws have been changed by her. She is monstrous.

If you need to give people a reason not to support Harry Potter anymore, JK Rowling is actively stripping queer spaces away from vulnerable students who need them. All of the money from her books goes to this.

what jk rowling has done to queer students in the uk

(it's Bad)

as you may know if you follow british politics, there is a piece of statutory guidance called KCSIE: keeping children safe in education. teachers are legally required to read part one of KCSIE every year. 

at my secondary school, like many others in the UK, we have a LGBTQ club/GSA. this club is ran by ally or queer teachers and is supposed to be an explicit safe space for students to use preferred names and pronouns.

however, this term, we were told that part of KCSIE this year involves "formal requests to socially transition" leading to a safeguarding process and parental intervention. we can no longer tell our previous safe queer adults our preferred names because they could lose their job and potentially their liscense to teach if it was found out that they didn't follow the reporting process when necessary.

if you're still a part of the harry potter fandom, you are FUNDING THIS. it's paid for from jk rowling's pockets and you're only making them bigger by giving her traction. it's not too late to leave and take a stand

maybe this is just me but I think it's perfectly fine for people to prefer their favourite characters have positive growth and healing and to want to portray boring milquetoast idealist relationships with them. life is too short to not pursue what makes you happy

I hope all you allies don't just forget about trans people after tonight. Democrats may have won, but transphobia is still alive and well. An uncomfortable amount of transphobic politicians and initiatives passed. We still need y'all to be loud and aggressive with your support!

anyway, as dawntrail comes to an end, i just wanted to say once again i think most criticisms of it are valid, but i think it's important to still pay attention to the overall theme of the expansion, which is honoring the memory of the dead and never letting go of what they meant to us.
