Well you can’t expect them to hang around all day, can you?

I loved the charm of like the first 4 movies. I liked 5 (that's half blood prince right? I'm not the biggest fan.)

But I Remember after like 3 they started to feel different.

6 I didn't love

7.1 and 7.2 I thought were hot trash and felt like I wasted my money.

My wife dragged me to the fantastic beasts movies and I feel comfortable saying I won't spend any more money on any HP IP outside of streaming services I was already gonna pay for and any HP games my wife wants as a gift

5 was The Order of the Phoenix, and you’re right in that it is a great movie. Half Blood Prince was #6, and I didn’t like it either.

She said nothing wrong. She said be who you want, love you want but men are not women and vice versa. When this horrible social experiment is over a lot of people will be ashamed for how they acted over her benign statement. She has never said anything hateful, period. But people who disagree with what she said have been wailing crazy banshees. Men are men, even in dresses. Women are women. even in pants. There is nothing hateful about that.

Ok where’s the science beyond a few scattered studies?

The vast majority of science, being biology and psychology agrees with trans people, meanwhile transphobes just have pure foolish rhetoric of “boys do this, girls do this”.

Lol. "Boys do this, girls do that" is the whole argument for the trans movement. Trans ideology reinforces social stereotypes more than any other philosophy in history.

If you're a boy who plays with dolls you must be a girl. If you're a girl who likes to go fishing, you're actually a boy. It's science!

That entire paragraph is just you saying “no u actually”, where do butch trans women or feminine trans man fit in your argument?

I don’t wear dresses everyday and neither does my partner, and my trans guy friend has worn dresses because he knows he’s a man regardless of presentation.

You know I was being facetious right? You are taking personality traits and turning them into genders. It's glaringly hypocritical to say gender is fluid, and at the same time say that having gender atypical personality traits makes you the opposite gender. It's all nonsense.

What's the real answer? Men are men, women are women. Men can wear makeup, watch rom-coms, wear dresses, etc. Those are superficial things that are created by culture. I doesn't make you a woman. Some men are tough, some are gentle. They are still men. People are individuals with unique desires and personalities. Stop trying to put people in neat little groups. It's pointless, reductive, and dehumanizing.

Good so we both agree that presentation doesn’t matter and it’s a person’s decision to be the gender they wish. Great chat, bestie!

It’s less that people are letting cancel culture ruin their enjoyment of things, more that people are reasonably annoyed that someone who made something so beloved by many (and many in the lgbt community), is using her massive platform to actively spread transphobic rhetoric. Cancel culture isn’t real. Do you see jk Rowling and Dave Chappelle actually unable to be successful? They’ve both technically been “cancelled” but they’re still massively successful and have huge platforms. The only real side of cancel culture is the people who are harmed by the rhetoric these people are using their platform to spew.

It's not transphobic to say women are women.

It's a shame that even has to be said. Makeup, hair, nails, etc...all that outward presentation does not change your sex. Period.

They still have platforms because only a small portion of people actually give a shit about transphobia. The fact that trans people are a protected species actually gets right under a lot of peoples skin.

The difficulty in my case - and I'm sure a lot of other people as well - is that supporting the series now means giving money to a woman who directly funds causes that I don't support. Causes that hurt innocent people and friends I care about.

Part of me is glad I had the knowledge to make the choice, and part of me is sad that I had to give it up. In the end, I prefer having the knowledge to make my own choice about whether to support her. Even if my own contribution is negligible, the effect of the masses means that we can make a difference in some way.
