Why this blog exists:
Despite J. K. Rowling having shown herself to be a bigot and an asshole many, many times, her works still get a lot of engagement, including on Tumblr. This blog intends to bring awareness to the issues with Harry Potter and JKR, and to encourage people not to engage with them.
JKR still actively profits off the Harry Potter franchise, and uses that money and visibility to attack trans people, primarily trans women. She has also stated that she sees support for her series as support for her bigotry. Because of this, there is no ethical way to support, consume, or publicly engage with Harry Potter.
JKR's bigotry primarily targets trans women and transfems, so this blog is also to spread support and awareness towards trans women. Transmisogyny in any form is not welcome here.
If you are a Harry Potter fan, feel free to check out this blog and the links below, and maybe reconsider your stance. Being a HP fan is incompatible with trans allyship (if you are trans, remember that it is incompatible with transfem allyship specifically!).
