Unless they’re just not prepared to look into that possibility.

Ah, like they did with the violent perpetrators of the January 6th insurrection, until you pardoned them all and set them free.

She already did - it was called the Harry Potter series.

An ally wouldn’t make generalizations about all trans people like this:
Maybe I’m a trans hater like the trans community wants to paint anyone that enjoys Harry Potter.

Nuance is not to jump to conclusions about the entire trans community and the “insane judgement” of anyone who disagrees with you. You’re making all kinds of assumptions and not demonstrating much ability with nuance so far.

That kind of wild generalization certainly makes you sound like a trans hater.
No one is claiming that everyone who likes Harry Potter hates trans people. But any interaction you have with Harry Potter books, movies, merchandise, etc. makes money for one of the most prominent trans haters in the world and helps her to spread her hateful message. At least pirate her stuff if you care.

(Americans, I’m not calling you all stupid. Just your country right now, and anyone who approves of how it’s going.)
Stupidity is a more dangerous enemy of the good than malice. One may protest against evil; it can be exposed and, if need be, prevented by use of force. Evil always carries within itself the germ of its own subversion in that it leaves behind in human beings at least a sense of unease.
Against stupidity we are defenseless.

After which he whined to the media about how people were being hard on him, calling him things like “hypocrite”, “traitor” or “weasly greedy little Farage-fellating wanker the country would be better off without.”

Netanyahu’s not in the best position to accuse others of genocidal rhetoric backed up with powerful weaponry.
This will show the fascists that they have a means to shut down all protest.
