#not the most important of rants
#but as a nonbinary trans person
#i kind of hate how much JKR and Harry Potter have become the face of “transphobia”
#honestly so much of the hp hate feels so performative
#without actually doing anything meaningful to fight everyday transphobia anywhere
#and i extra hate how it lumps together every trans person under this banner of
#'you are hurting *me* personally if you still like jkr or hp'
#even though i as a trans person would much rather focus on how the main themes of hp
#are all in direct contradiction to jkr's modern stance on trans rights
#since they are messages all about inclusion and acceptance and not judging people just because they were born different than you
#and came late to 'your' culture
#or the fact that when jkr first wrote hp
#she herself was a struggling single mother living on welfare
#and how maaaybe there could be a conversation in there
#about how wealth and power can corrupt people
#and how fundamentally decent people can grow in negative ways
#not just in positive ways
#if you let yourself forget how it feels to be 'the little guy'
#(or if you get too focused on *staying* 'the little guy' when you maybe are not anymore)
#(or not the littest guy in a given conversation)
#instead of the performative
#'you cannot like hp or interact with it at all in any public way OR ELSE'
#that has actually happened
#i am trans
#i hate who jkr has become
#but i still love harry potter and what it meant to me in my childhood
#and i refuse to let other people take that away for objectively nonsensical reasons
#that are never applied consistently across the board to other authors
