What’s this masterlist for?

This is by no means a complete guide to all things Harry Potter, JKR, or Hogwarts Legacy. This is merely meant as a starting point. A place one may come to educate themselves on what the trans community has to say, or what the issues at hand are. 

Once more for the people in the back, this is coming from a trans/nonbinary/GNC perspective.

Very few articles or videos that I have seen at the time of this writing have gone to any lengths to explain why mixing and matching voices to different body types is, in its own way, a form of transphobia. (Attractive women with deep “male” voices has been played for laughs and disgust at the expense of the trans community for decades.) 

The options so far discussed excludes trans nonbinary and nonbinary people, and I have seen little/no mention of this either.

As always, feel free to share this. Send the link to anyone and everyone. Especially send it if you need to safeguard your mental health on this subject. 

Elevate trans voices.

Author’s note: This has been compiled before the game launch. Depending on level of personal burnout, this list may be edited in the future to include further resources. The goal here is to prevent burnout in myself and others in the community. Considering the difficulty of discussing this face to face/offline and the fact that that’s where my highest risk of burnout comes from, there are zero guarantees of updates/edits.
