Content note: This episode includes discussion of Harry Potter, including our experiences of the fandom, fan fiction and Hogwarts houses.
We recognise that J.K. Rowling has publicly expressed and supported harmful and transphobic views and actions towards trans people that have caused significant hurt and concern within trans and non-binary communities. Our discussion of Harry Potter reflects our personal relationship with the stories and fandom and is not intended as an endorsement of Rowling or her views.
We are committed to creating an inclusive space for trans and non-binary members of our community, while recognising that individuals may have different and complex relationships with the Harry Potter franchise.
