Yeah, I think she'll be ok with the upbringing she's getting. And she'll probably figure it out herself before too long- maybe she'll spot the Irish stereotype and work it out from there.

That means a lot from you. In our town, the kids take for granted that gender has all kind of expressions, which can shift. As Virginia Woolf handles Orlando. I’ll have a chat with her some day about the many other tells within JKR’s tiers of characters, and who does or doesn’t get dignity.

Our R was a massive obsessive HP fan as a kid, I never liked them much but we had fun as a family with them. He copped on about the same time as he came out and wasn't too sad for too long but it still makes me burn with the wrath of 10,000 suns how she betrayed those kids.

Oh that’s it—the neurodivergent, queer, and trans kids among Millennials and Gen Z particularly worshipped her. She threw them under the bus. And for what.

I carted those books to the discard pile a few times, then pulled them back each time because I didn’t want to contribute more library loans or book sales if she did get into it. Ugh.

Well you were proved right, she gets to be a kid, make up her own mind, and you're not contributing to the coffers.

You knew where you stood with Enid Blyton and Roald Dahl. Racist, colonizer sickos even a 7-year-old could spot. Devoured them anyway. 😉

It’s helpful to understand how oppressors think!
