So for me, finding out that in no uncertain terms that I was not welcome in that world on account of my transness was devastating. But I was raised to respect myself and I knew that when someone shows you disrespect you disconnect and find someone who will treat you like a person. It was hard and hurt but I did it. I pulled myself away from something I loved dearly that clearly didn't love me back. Meanwhile my family has steadfastly continued to pretend that Rowling has not chosen to define herself as my enemy so the Harry Potter movie marathons and Harry Potter themed parties - for the nieces and nephews of course, of course, not to exclude you IgnoreSandra - and book readings and shit has continued.

This is awful. I am very sorry you have to deal with this. You are valid and welcome here.
