This bubbled up this morning because an article about the new HBO MAX Harry Potter series floated across my screen and got me seething.

I don’t think I’ve ever mentioned it here, but one of my sisters is trans, as is her partner. Lovely people.

And I’m not doing that “Every woman is somebody’s sister/daughter/wife” thing. My connection to her isn’t why this matters to me.

But it is why I take transphobia very, very personally.
