Revisiting an old obsession and resulting sadness

I was poking around on Bandcamp and came across an album that was created in 2020 as a counterpoint and rebuke to JKR for her toxic discourse on trans rights. The money raised from the album goes to support trans rights:

The fandom is ours--let's take it back.

A response to the author's comments towards the transgender community, including both spoken word and music, this album is a reminder that trans rights are human rights and there are people in the Harry Potter fandom who believe that. Emphasizing trans artists and artists of color, the proceeds of this album will go to Camp Lilac and The Black Trans Advocacy Coalition.

The album is definitely an amateur effort, but there is a powerful pain and anger and wistfulness that the songs and poems capture well. These creative outpourings are about the betrayal so many felt (including me) about what it was like to discover a world that JKR created, and how it gave so many courage to be brave and live their own authentic selves--only to have JKR morph into Dolores Umbridge and try to hurt them and take everything away from them.

I was one of those fans. I devoted years of interest and energy and creativity and excitement to the fandom. I wrote an online fanfiction for seven years. Rob and I put on Harry Potter symposia around the country.

Now I have reached the point that JKR will never see another dime of my money. My admiration and gratitude has turned into total disgust.

The response from this album is: it's our fandom now. You may have betrayed us but we have found each other. And you can't take that away from us.

This song concludes the album:
