You’re not going to convince him trans is good because Rowling is bad, you’re gonna have to convince him Rowling sucks because trans is good

Come on. You’ve given no indication that this dude is a bigot. You have to be a TERF to like Harry Potter and Drake? There’s a very real possibility he doesn’t even know what JK Rowling looks like.

Definitely plenty of based friends of mine that are still begrudging Harry Potter fans, while recognizing all the issues with the work and Rowling. If consider being a Drake fan way more suspicious, mostly because his music is obscenely uninteresting and Drake is personally rather problematic.

I was trying to be succinct. Would you like me to make a reply with a CW and an go into explicit details? I won’t. It isn’t productive

Is Drake a transphobe? I guess I must have missed when he was at his… Worst Behavior.

(sorry)

There’s not much hope for adult Harry Potter fans, I’m afraid

Probably the healthiest response. Short of just swallowing it I guess. Good advice

Unless you’re the mother of that infant I question your standing in sticking your nose into their personal life like this.

I guess my point was that the dude is a total chud.

I can tell you from personal experience being raised by a right wing asshole father is damaging.

I don’t think he is irredeemable and want to arm myself with arguments to at bare minimum reduce his transphobia so that at least one member of the future generation is less damaged.

I recognize how this stance could be arrogant or nosy, but I’m not exactly in position where I have many chances to improve….anything. Idk maybe despair is exacerbating my asshole tendencies
