In terms of the trans stuff...while I'm not going to play referee for an identity/group I'm not apart of it does seem like many trans activists are veering into extremes (online) that make it hard for them to gain support. My general view is that most Americans don't think about trans issues, don't care about the culture war things republicans are obsessed over, and have never met a trans person. Their only real interaction with the topic comes in things like...well, you know, the Harry Potter freak out. And that shit makes trans activists look bad. Even worse when so much of it is being peddled on a social media site literally owned by a raging transphobe.
Yea I hate complaining about process, tone etc but still...this is just a dumb fight to pick, over a children's IP that is probably one of the 5-10 most beloved "things" in the world.
