This week, we wanted to take the time in a full episode to discuss JK Rowling's transphobic tweet made in December. We've never discussed this, because we wanted to be a light-hearted escape for our listeners. But not using our platform to support the trans and lgbtqia community, would simply be wrong. Trans rights are human rights. We support you. The Harry Potter fandom is so loving because of the people within in that made it that way. We're gonna stand up, and keep it that way. Thank you for listening.
