      But I’m not looking at the screen typing this. I’m literally looking at my garden right now. Lol. Whatever dude. Keep trolling. I am actually attempting to have discourse cause I am tired of this situation.

        You’re still staring at your screen, reading this. That’s not staring at the trees. I’m not trolling. Your life can be better than this. You have a garden to enjoy, and yet you’re here. With us. Using a children’s book as an excuse to generalize and soapbox on hate.

          Yet I’m doing the opposite of soapboxing on hate. I am asking people to STOP hating the fans. And yet here you are staring at your screen pushing the same type of hate JK does Nonsenical.

            pushing the same type of hate JK does

            The fact that you think it’s okay to compare this conversation with a billionaire investing in hostile propaganda against oppressed minorities is really all that needs to be said.

              I’m talking about blanket hate. You telling me my life is not okay beucae of what I choose. That’s her type of hate. Correct? Not investments or whatever power she may hold. You currently are impacting me with that because of her. Correct?

                Incorrect, her type of hate is investing in hostile propaganda against oppressed minorities.

                Also, being transgender is not a choice. That’s transphobia. The fact that you’re at all willing to compare the plight of Harry Potter fans to the oppression of transgender people is again, all that needs to be said. Transphobe.

                  I was responding about me personally I was not at all implying gender is a choice. Sorry if my phrasing was triggering that was not my intent.

                  Edit: sorry for another edit I am truly not trying to be in bad faith. I hope saying gender is not a choice is the correct way to phrase that.

                    That’s fine, gender is not a choice. The point is that what you’re describing is not her type of hate. Her type of hate is hatred against people for what they are, not the media they consume.

                    They can’t stop being transgender, but she wants them to. So she hates them in such a way that she does not want them to exist. This is why it can be so offensive to compare hatred against fans of a certain type of media, to hatred against transgender people.

                    Because of people who share her views and write the laws that she helps lobby for against gender expression and gender-affirming treatment, some of those people stop existing.

                    Suicide is an epidemic, especially among transgender people. Gender-affirming treatment literally reduces the rate of teenage suicide, and political opposition to gender affirming treatment therefore increases the rate of teenage suicide.

                    I understand that some people may say terrible things like “walk into the sea,” and they’re wrong to do so. And it’s wrong to paint an entire community by what those people do - many who probably aren’t actually trans themselves.

                    But she invests time and money into actually causing people to commit suicide.
