Comment on Vernon Dursley, uncle of Harry Potter is just a normal bloke that loves his wife and gets roped into a paramilitary war for it.

  More like the other way round, as trans people aren’t the perpetrators. Trans people are more like Harry in relation to the Dursleys. Being different without it being his “fault”, trying to conform but it resulting in psychological and physical harm to him, not being able to conform as he is supposed to. Being shunned and punished for every “abnormality” (especially the public ones) one the grounds of what-would-the-neighbours-talk-about-this. Finding a more accepting place but being forced to return to the abusive household again and again.

  Its abhorrent, how tonedeaf Rowling is towards the obvious parallels to her hate in her own work. Some live long enough to see themselves becoming the villian out of their own fault I guess
