...going back to the original story of the bookshop ‘banning‘ in Australia...?....it’s obviously felt very strongly by the shop that the book is representative of something very negative ...and it’s completely their prerogative to not stock it on the shelves, of course...but in doing that it’s just adding another layer of negative, which will surely only serve to give more publicity to the book JK and any publicity can be good, as they say...so it seems very counter productive in supporting their trans community...

...the profits for any sales the store has of Harry Potter are already donated to the trans and gender diverse support service, TransFolk of WA, the article states...so any profits from sales of her new book...(...which could be quite substantial..)..could also be donated by the shop, which to me would be a possibly better alternative in countering with a positive, rather than adding another negative on top of etc...because their support would have a more directly beneficial and positive value...
