"you're just not paying attention because you're not a trans ally"

yeah so basically anyone paying attention to trans issues knows about JKR. I don't think I said all harry potter fans are transphobic, so that was a fun little thing for you to make up I guess, but I would say that fans of Harry Potter who don't know the controversy are not trans allies. She is the anti-trans celebrity. Her letter was huge news.

Harry Potter fans have likely at least seen one or two hate comments about the video game or something. Stop bring so disingenuous... most people are online regularly ... particularly the generation of Harry Potter fans. You don't need to be terminally online to have heard about the wealthiest author in the world turning into the most prominent anti-trans advocate.

Just because someone has a personality disorder doesn't mean they are incapable of doing their jobs. That's an ableist assumption.

Don't take it as an insult, if you keep being ableist that would be grounds for insults, but I'm honestly just letting you know.

You are just lying about your class status, you already admitted to living a lifestyle that matches with the upper percent of people.

Yeah, it's notable that computer programmers are also over-represented in this survey.

I wonder if there isn't a lack of people brewing outside the rich white man demographic... but more that they inhabit different social worlds so they aren't seeing each other.

Love how this one is upvoted 😭 like they're saying "yeah 😀"
