listen as someone who’s loved harry potter with my entire soul for like 12+ years,,,stop fucking bragging about spending money on official merch right now

if you’re really that determined to continue giving money to a terf at least have the decency to shut up about it

also? you don’t get to pat yourself on the back for being an ally ever again, because not only are you giving money to a terf, you’re going on the internet and telling every trans* person that your desire for that sweater or that scarf is more important to you than their life

I will always have a place in my heart for those stories. but trans* people’s right to life, to joy, to fundamental human rights is so, so, SO much more important than any piece of merchandise.

and when you say “small shops are too expensive :/“ you’re looking trans* people in—

—the face and saying “the price tag on your rights is too high for me.” and y’know what? that sucks. and the harry james potter we all know and love would think you’re disgusting for it.

there’s a lot we can’t control these days—this, we absolutely can. do better.

also if anyone read this thread and thought “hm that’s a good point I should stop” like great but also maybe reflect on why it took a cis person (me) saying all of this for you to care, when trans* folks have been saying all of this much better for much longer
