As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

There is no ethical consumption of HBO’s Harry Potter series

You can’t without supporting Rowling’s transphobic bigotry.

Currently reading and recovering on the deck. ☀️ I’m enjoying Sweetbitter Song so far, although it is definitely darker than I expected. It’s a doorstop of a sapphic book, but it’s got me hooked! #AmReading #SapphicRomance

Romantasy is allowed to be dark, complex, and messy. But it doesn’t get a free pass. When a love interest ignores boundaries, removes agency, or frames control as desire, that’s not just a trope—it’s a craft issue editors need to flag. Stay tuned to learn more from @brennabaileybooks.bsky.social!
