Reposted by CrystalLee Hurley @hleehurley.com · 08/10/2026You probably think this is a touch of hyperbole. If you do, that just tells me not only are you not paying attention, you are actively ignoring all the trans people this has happened to. This is life in the UK as a trans person in 2026. 81010317

Crystal @crystal.tgirl.gay · 06/09/2026When I ask people to boycott Harry Potter, it’s because the author’s actions are causing harm to trans people. Please don’t choose to harm us by continuing to support Harry Potter. Telling me you think she‘s a bad person means nothing to me if you choose to keep harming us while you say it. 2101

Reposted by CrystalMay “Bunny” Peterson 🦄 @goddessblade.bsky.social · 31/07/2026Things like seemingly harmless NYT consumption are big deals to trans people because transphobia, despite being intense and escalating these days, is an oppression often rendered invisible.
