Pretty insightful for someone like me who didn't grow up with HP, to hear from this perspective. It's easy for me to reject Rowling and boycott her work, since I have no emotional attachment to her worlds or characters. I often struggle talking to younger fans who have to separate her from their strong connection to her books. It really does seem like she's built a wall between the lessons she wrote about and her hideous transphobia.
