The last one in particular should surely ring alarm bells ("transwomen are men" is such a blanket, incorrect and disrespectful statement). This whole "hivemind" thing that TS is having great fun in building up works both ways, and a whole lot of actual trans people are being told to shut up and grow up without actually being listened to.

Is there a chance she wasn’t actually aware of those ****ty badges/phrases on those shirts?

I just don’t see a woman who wrote something as motivating and forward thinking as the HP series to believe in things like those quotes on that website.

I actually like the shirt she’s wearing. It’s like it’s relevant to HP and it’s kind of a FU to her haters
