I watched Tamo's video earlier today and am so glad it ended up in front of you. He made some amazing points about his own journey and growth and I love that you were willing to listen.
Now, my take: I am a trans woman and have been following this whole saga. Truth be told, as a trans person, I still struggle with trying to let go of the HP IP, and it will be a struggle not to participate in the new HBO production. But that is my journey and I don't fault anyone their own experiences with it. HP has been a safe haven for so many marginalized people and so if it still brings comfort to them, I will fight for them to do so. Rowling is a monster, but if she did one good thing with her miserable life, it was give many of us a home and a community.
To the wider community, this man is doing his best. You might find it lacking, and I'm sorry that the world has made you jaded in such a way that you can't take his words at face value. But for my little piece of the trans community, I choose to give him grace.
P.S. - Regarding the comments about him avoiding other responses, you're just beating a dead horse. Whether you found his arguments in poor taste, that doesn't mean he should be subject to the same hate and vitriol that you're claiming to be defending against. Tamo provided a constructive response that wasn't a personal attack. If there are other constructive videos out there, I'm sure our man would be willing to give them a listen too.
Now, can we stop the in-fighting and direct this animosity towards that bitch in the U.K.?
