Juls<p>Hola chikis! <br>Hace tiempo que llevo dándole vueltas a una idea que me gustaría compartir y llevar acabo para apoyar a las personas trans al respecto de lo que está pasando con la transfobia y en particular con J. K. Rowling, quien está financiando este movimiento.</p><p>Llevo siendo fan de Harry Potter desde los 9-10 años y en todo este tiempo he comprado y me han regalado todo tipo de merch de la saga, asi que cuando me enteré de que JK estaba financiando proyectos transfobos y en contra del colectivo LGBTIQ+ me sentí fatal por haber permitido que todo ese dinero fuese destinado a algo de lo que estoy completamente en contra. Me reconozco como persona queer desde los 13 años asi que me dolió especialmente por eso, asi que decidí que no volvería a comprar más cosas de Harry Potter e intento que no me las regalen.</p><p>Entonces, cuando hace poco J. K. Rowling financió con dinero obtenido de Harry Potter una campaña transfoba que llevó a la retirada de derechos de personas trans de Reino Unido, se me ocurrió que algo que podía hacer para aportar mi pequeño grano de arena era donar dinero a asociaciones trans, ¿y que mejor manera de hacerlo que vendiendo las cosas de Harry Potter que ya no quiera y donar todo el dinero que obtenga? Sería justicia poética, sobre todo teniendo en cuenta que la mayoría de fans son personas LGBTIQ+</p><p>Creo que es una manera de contrarrestar, al menos un poco, el daño que J. K. Rowling está haciendo con los beneficios de su obra. Harry Potter, por si mismo, no tiene la culpa de lo que está pasando, pero los beneficios que genera a su autora si.</p><p>Me gustaría organizar algo con esta idea, algo que pueda llegar a mas gente, algo colaborativo con asocis y que sirva para apoyar a la gente trans, que sepan que no están soles y que deje claro que les fans de Harry Potter no estamos conformes con esto</p><p>Nunca he hecho algo así, por lo que me vendria genial ayuda. Si te interesa participar o ayudar comenta y hablamos!</p><p><a href="https://masto.es/tags/harrypotter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>harrypotter</span></a> <a href="https://masto.es/tags/presentaci%C3%B3n" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>presentación</span></a> <a href="https://masto.es/tags/trans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>trans</span></a> <a href="https://masto.es/tags/LGBTQ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LGBTQ</span></a></p>

Long story short, they would rather accommodate people who, at best, don't care about trans rights, than accommodate trans people. They prefer negative peace (repressing "difficult" or "confronting" discussions) over justice (repressing content that is harmful to trans people).<br><br>Yes, this concerns </span><a href="https://blahaj.zone/tags/JKRowling" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#JKRowling</a> <a href="https://blahaj.zone/tags/HarryPotter" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#HarryPotter</a><span> content specifically. Trans people calling out the harm such content does are silenced and dogpiled by moderators, and outright dismissed by confidential mediators. The stance they communicate is that they want to be welcoming to everyone so they do not want to ban any content. I wonder if they hold that same opinion regarding other kinds of harmful content like for example racist content, CSA, ... or is this "accepting" stance only reserved for content that is harmful to trans people?<br><br>Bottom line... If you're queer and/or an ally and are a member of that Discord, please speak out and/or leave it. It is clearly not welcoming to </span><i>us</i>.</p>

Jargoggles<p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MichelleGomez" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MichelleGomez</span></a>, in response to criticisms about the fact that she will further enrich an outspoken, virulant bigot by helping narrate the new <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HarryPotter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HarryPotter</span></a> audiobooks, provided an exceptional example of empty, performative "support" for <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TransRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TransRights</span></a>.</p><p>She gave this LLM-esque solidarity-shaped statement, wholly devoid of substance, moral courage, or a commitment to *do* anything whatsoever:</p><p>"To my LGBTQ+ fans, and especially the trans community: I want to speak directly to the concerns that have been raised about my involvement in this project.</p><p>"I hear you, and I understand why this is painful for many. I want to be clear that I stand with trans people, and I support trans rights – fully and without hesitation.</p><p>"When I accepted this role, I did so as someone who has always loved the stories and what they meant to so many – especially those who found comfort and identity in that world.</p><p>"I now understand more clearly how deeply complicated and hurtful this association can feel, and I take that seriously. Being an ally means listening even when it’s uncomfortable and taking accountability where it’s needed. I’m committed to doing both."</p><p>Classic hallmarks of a fake ally:</p><p>Understanding... but only if it doesn't require change.</p><p>Support... but only if it's convenient.</p><p>Listening... but only if it can be ignored.</p><p>Accountability... but only if nobody expects anything.</p><p>When you ignore the pandering, all she's saying is that she understands why her involvement in the project is harmful, but she's going to do it anyway. I can see why she wanted to dress it up, because that seems worse than if she was just oblivious.</p>
