A community for transfeminine people and experiences.

This is a supportive community for all transfeminine or questioning people. Anyone is welcome to participate in this community but disrupting the safety of this space for trans feminine people is unacceptable and will result in moderator action.

Debate surrounding transgender rights or acceptance will result in an immediate ban.

Posters may express that they are looking for responses and support from groups with certain experiences (eg. trans people, trans people with supportive parents, trans parents.). Please respect those requests and be mindful that your experience may differ from others here.

To make such a request, at the start of the body of your post, not in the title, the first line should look like the this: [Requesting Engagement from _________]

CW: Harry Potter. What's your stance on JK Rowling and Hogwarts Legacy (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

Hey there, I'm a mod of c/traa and was recently called out for saying JK Rowling is transphobic and buying the Hogwarts game is a bad idea. I was told that the 'actual trans people with sense' are here and agree that playing the Hogwarts game is fine, and so is giving money to a transphobe billionaire. This ally of trans rights (and instance admin of a large server that isnt blahaj or hexbear) of course seems to vehemently disagree.

So, as a question, do you agree with giving money in any way to JK Rowling? Do you agree with supporting Harry Potter as a franchise? ๐Ÿค“ I have a feeling I already know the answer to this, but I figure yall might find this whole thing amusing

Huh. Surprising that the poster thinks this community would defend Joanne and the actions she has taken against our community.

Long and short of it, no. I do not support giving her money under really any circumstances. I used to be a die-hard fan of Harry Potter but I haven't engaged with it in many years and probably never will again. I dont even want to give her intellectual properties my time and attention. I don't begrudge anyone doing so, but if they asked me, "What do you think about me buying the HP game?" I'd tell them how they're supporting someone openly aligned with trans hatred, fascists like Kelly Jay Keen, misogynists, anti-abortion organizations, and homophobic people and anti gay rights organizations. She appropriates the voice of lesbian and queer cis women as a weapon against trans people, despite being a categorically straight woman herself. She's a fascist, not openly, but you're not best friends with fascists supporting fascist causes if you yourself aren't a fascist. She is a threat not just to the rights of trans people but also to gay people and women.

Support of her, her actions, or her statements in any capacity is categorically unacceptable in this community. I won't ban someone for saying they bought the game, but attempting to suggest that she isn't an active threat to the rights of trans people everywhere is unacceptable. This is a supportive community for transfeminine people, and debate/denial of the trans hate movement is bannable here.
