Is this actually true? Rowling herself aside, I don’t think I’ve ever seen an openly transphobic Harry Potter fan - granted I also don’t spend a huge amount of time in Harry Potter forums and stuff.
There's a loud minority who think Joanne is basically their god-empress and think she can do no wrong. There's also a bit of people who became fans purely because their shitty views align with her shitty views.
I think most fans are fine, all I’m saying is that it takes one or two malicious jerks and the space instantly becomes queer-unfriendly, which is why I suggest strict moderation, no tolerance for bigotry.

Didn’t know that’s a thing, but I guess people find others to follow using different means and that could be one 😞
