@nudlan@mastodon.social @BenRiceM@mastodon.social Rather than playing semantics with trans people on the internet, you could go help get the message out. Go tell others what JK Rowling is doing and why it's bad to engage with her work. Show that you actually care. Then we don't have to keep going down this rabbit hole. But if you keep just arguing with trans people on the internet about it and downplaying our experiences and telling us we're overreacting, then you're absolutely part of the problem, if not THE problem, in your actions alone.

@CordiallyChloe@tech.lgbt @BenRiceM@mastodon.social I don't think my point was argumentative but I guess I can see it could read that way. By joining Mastodon I am trying to be better to get messages out I truly believe in. I explained that I struggle with this separation thing and I 'do' make people aware of things I find wrong or unfair. I have never got through a HP discussion without making absolutely sure people know that they 'are' lining hateful pockets by engaging. Any time I have I seem to be the only one aware.

@CordiallyChloe@tech.lgbt @BenRiceM@mastodon.social I guess what I am trying to say is I struggle to say authoritatively "If you like HP you are automatically hateful and are guilty of everything the Author has put out there". Are they guilty of supporting her financially? Yes. Ignorant for not knowing? Sure, but we are all ignorant of things we are not aware of. Should they continue, in good conscience, to support the IP? No. But enjoying the concept & the world, loving the characters & wanting more? I can't fault that.
