I acknowledge JK Rowling’s role as creator of the franchise as well as her current devolvement into this transphobe asshole that she is. The material itself is to my knowledge not transphobe (it doesn’t mention transitioning or trans persons itself, and could maybe even be viewed as pro-trans with the whole polyjuice stuff).
So I know the source of this work and can thus be cautious about potential transphobe parts
Her work is (ignoring her) a very popular piece of culture and we as a community should thus be able to extend it further, thus making it a community effort and slowly releasing it from the grasp of Rowling.
So both can work together.
I will not go into more detail about HP or JKR to save us all time.
The last two are not mutually exclusive
No. Let’s take Harry Potter.
