    Yes, but the people you talk to have to do the same then.

    I was talking to some coworkers a while back and one of them whined that he earned so little. I told exactly what I got and he just goes “oh, then I don’t earn the least” and never talks about his salary again.

    Like… At least tell me what you get!?

    Btw. no one else said anything about their salary so I got exactly zero information out of that interaction.






  • No. Let’s take Harry Potter.

    I acknowledge JK Rowling’s role as creator of the franchise as well as her current devolvement into this transphobe asshole that she is. The material itself is to my knowledge not transphobe (it doesn’t mention transitioning or trans persons itself, and could maybe even be viewed as pro-trans with the whole polyjuice stuff).

    So I know the source of this work and can thus be cautious about potential transphobe parts

    Her work is (ignoring her) a very popular piece of culture and we as a community should thus be able to extend it further, thus making it a community effort and slowly releasing it from the grasp of Rowling.

    So both can work together.

    I will not go into more detail about HP or JKR to save us all time.
