While You Were Watching the Harry Potter Trailer The new Harry Potter promotion is everywhere. The nostalgia is loud. The excitement is real. Millions of people who grew up with those books are feeling something exciting. Hold that feeling for a moment. Then read this. Between 2019 and 2025, 46 transgender children under the age of 18 died by suicide in England.  That data was not handed over willingly. The Good Law Project spent years fighting for it through Freedom of Information requests to the NHS-funded National Child Mortality Database.  The government commissioned its own review in response. That review accounted for fewer than a third of the deaths the FOI data revealed.  When challenged on this, Health Secretary Wes Streeting’s department fought tooth and nail to block every Freedom of Information request, often on spurious grounds.  They did not want you to know. Deaths rose roughly fivefold in the immediate aftermath of the Bell v Tavistock ruling, with 22 trans children taking their own lives in a single year.  The government called that figure dangerous misinformation. Then the data came out and confirmed it. J.K. Rowling wrote those books you loved. She also built a parallel career. She donated £70,000 to the anti-trans group For Women Scotland in 2024 after it lost its challenge to a Scottish law that legally recognised trans women as women.  When the UK Supreme Court later ruled in that group’s favour she posted a photograph of herself with a cigar. The post read “I love it when a plan comes together.”  That was not the end of it. She has since launched the JK Rowling Women’s Fund, a private organisation using her personal fortune to bankroll legal campaigns against transgender rights in workplaces, public spaces and what she terms protected female spaces.  The Harry Potter franchise is estimated to be worth around $25 billion.  She retains creative control over every adaptation. She is an executive producer on the new HBO series. Every ticket sold, every piece of merchandise bought, every streaming subscription taken out to watch the reboot feeds that fortune. The Good Law Project’s Jolyon Maugham noted that money earned from selling her books to children will be used to harm trans children.  That is not an accusation. That is the financial reality of where this money goes. Forty-six families are not watching the trailer. You are allowed to hold both things at once. The books you loved as a child and the knowledge of what the woman who wrote them has done with the wealth they generated. Nobody is asking you to burn anything. We are asking you to be honest with yourself about the chain you are part of when you buy into this. The wizarding world taught a generation that it takes courage to stand up to powerful people doing wrong things. It would be a shame to forget that now.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ We do not yet know the full consequences of the puberty blocker ban. The data takes time to surface. The Freedom of Information requests take years to fight for. The government reviews come back incomplete and the real numbers have to be dragged into the light by lawyers and campaigners while ministers call it dangerous to even ask the question. We do not yet know the suicide rate of young transgender people in the years since that ban became permanent. We will find out. In time, as we always do, the data will come. And when it does we will be able to see clearly what this campaign has actually funded. Not women’s rights. Not child safeguarding. Not evidence-based medicine. This is a tragedy unfolding in the United Kingdom in real time. Children are living inside it right now. The Harry Potter trailer is everywhere and 46 families already know what it costs when powerful people decide that some children do not deserve care. History will not be kind to this moment. 46 children are dead so far because of the gender critical hate movement in the UK. Terfs, the government & nhs must be held responsible.

Terrifying reality check. In just 27 days of their illegal war, the US and Israel have demolished over 600 schools across Iran, martyring more than 1,000 students and teachers. They are systematically destroying civilian infrastructure with zero regard for humanity.

There's a lot of replies to Brian with a distinctly rapey air to them.

This whole drama about @uwu_underground giving out drink protectors, why is this even a discussion? Firstly, it's a shameful and sad state of affairs drink protectors have to exist because some predatorial abusers will attack people more vulnerable then them. Secondly, why would you stop someone who is concerned, or worse, in fear of be a victim from having a simple, effective protection, regardless of whether the risk of being drugged is real or not? Where is the harm in providing a little help and reassurance to them?
