The Sense8 creator said: “JK Rowling funds trans genocide, full stop. So, if you support Harry Potter, you’re supporting trans genocide.

“The money that goes into you enjoying these products, a portion of that money goes to JK Rowling and that money goes into her funding anti-trans legislation all over the world.”

Wachowski suggested that trans allies should boycott work that benefitted Rowling financially, including HBO’s upcoming TV adaptation of the Harry Potter series.

“In the same way that if you are against Elon Musk, you boycott or don’t buy Tesla; and if you’re against global warming/climate change, you try not to buy as much gas, you try to mitigate your use of these products,” she said.

Here is my line of thinking. Say someone bought the books 20 years ago and donated them to a second hand book store, and you picked them up there, you aren't supporting the person who bought the books originally, you aren't supporting joanne either.

I know a lot of people are polarized on the separate the art from the artist line of thought. Some people say you can, others say you can't.

    No I was just mostly saying that buying second hand doesn't in any way address your point of wanting to support the actors and not the creator. Second hand is fine, though again Harry Potter is pretty poorly written if you read much at all.
