Earlier this week, I mentioned to someone when people (especially trans people like myself) attempt to point out JK Rowling's harm and how she funds it, the defenders of the Potter Universe swarm to derail and turn antagonistic if we suggest alternative books.They demand separation of author from their universe, and yet their responses show they can't separate Rowling from Potterverse. It's exhausting.As a writer, I think erasing the author is problematic when analyzing their works anyway.

I know even writing that means those who respond either listen in support or prove my point.I want people to boycott JK Rowling, which means stop watching and buying anything she creates (which means Potterverse especially). As she uses these funds to harm trans people. We have proof with her own words no less that she uses the money that way.And yet, Potter defenders just derail and attack instead of listening. I'm just TIRED of it. Diagnosing this may or may not help idk.

Please boycott JK Rowling. I do not have the health to listen to defenders of Potter on why they won't boycott. Take that somewhere else please.For those boycotting, here are alternative worlds from authors who are supportive of marginalized people:* Young Wizards series by Diane Duane* Emelan series by Tamora Pierce* Akata Witch series by Nnedi Okorafor* Animorphs series by Katherine Applegate* Percy Jackson series by Rick Riordan* Legendborn series by Tracy DeonnShare others below!
