If you buy the new Harry Potter game, do not waste my time trying to justify it.
You either stand with the trans community and stop supporting a transphobe, or you keep buying Harry Potter stuff and admit you can't give up buying 1 brand for the sake of all your trans friends.

I understand it might be very hard to give up something that was important to you growing up, or during tough times.
But this isn't about snide Twitter comments anymore. Plain as day we know what she believes, and now she's actively creating things that promote transmisogyny.

Your money speaks louder than your words.
I have a hard time believing someone can support Harry Potter and still get to call themselves a trans ally. Sorry.
Being an ally means you actually stand against those who hate us.
It's your call. What's more important to you?

I'm not going to argue with anybody.
Do whatever the hell you want.
But know that if you choose to keep supporting this brand, your trans friends will know that you thought a video game was more important than their rights and dignity.
That makes you a pretty shitty ally.

Okay. I really wanted to just mute and abandon this thread but apparently it’s still plodding around, so I’m going to be exhausting and add a few 
addendums
Please read these before reacting, especially if you’re angry at me
1. Yes. I was upset when I wrote this...

...I’ve not re-read it since last night but I know it is harsh. I was angry. And what I said I wrote from my gut.
I stand by it as my authentic expression. However, I would have been more gentle with my wording had I known it was going to slink outside of my social circle.

(My followers know me, I don’t get angry often. This account is usually bad jokes, makeup opinions, random moments from my life, or thoughts on self-love. When I do angry tweets, my friends know it means I’m fired up and upset)
Please take this little thread for what it is:
A very personal rant coming from the exhaustion and upset of being a trans person who grew up feeling like a monster and a horrible freak because of the same kind of transphobic views the author has shared recently.

The first time I ever saw someone like me on TV, it was a fictional serial killer.
I was a child, but I knew I was trans like them.
It breaks my heart to think about today’s generation of trans kids hearing about this new book which uses the same offensive baseless trope.

This is an exceedingly raw topic for me.
I’m never going to be able to comment on it without bringing all my baggage to the table, for better or worse.
Like yeah I have a lot of followers and I can talk all confident like etc. but I’m also depressed and riddled with trauma

2. It is my opinion. Everything I tweet is my opinion. I embrace and love that we all have different opinions on everything in life.
I’m not telling you how to think. I’m telling you how I think.
It was how I honestly felt in the moment. I’m not going to lie to you.

3. You can disagree with me, and I’ll still like you
Seriously. I’m not breaking any friendships over this.
Do I wish all my friends felt more like I do? Well, yeah. But I’ve shared my opinion, they all know it now, I’m not going to try change their minds.

4. Okay this is going to sound odd but I want to add it anyway: I did not want to hurt anyone’s feelings.
Seriously.
I have Combined Type ADHD, in other words I have rejection sensitivity dysphoria, ie. it can hurt a lot when people are mean.
I never want to cause someone pain

5. I wrote what I wrote for cis straight allies. That’s it.
Other trans people? Non-trans queer fans? I believe there’s a lot more nuance to it for all of us.
And again. This is my opinion. You can disagree. I’m not trying to “debate” or argue with anyone.

6. I was a fan too.
For what it’s worth, I was there at book launches, and I grew up with these characters and this world. It meant a lot to me as well.
Those books helped me find friends at a very isolating and scary time of my life.
I get that it’s difficult, and messy.

So that’s that!
This thread is still muted. I still can’t/won’t see any of your quote tweet responses.
But until I get more anxious and delete this all because I’m too scared it’s upsetting people, I wanted to stick these disclaimers on the end.
Have a great day~!!
