The “Rita Skeeter is a parody of a trans woman” is yet another social-media-fueled bad attempt at a queer reading, like the goblins being Jews or that Jo is racist because she has characters named Kingsley Shacklebolt, Cho Chang, and Seamus Finnegan. There is no evidence at all to make any of these assertions, but these people are so busy huffing their own farts that they don’t care. Unfortunately, this garbage has spread so far and wide that I’m not sure if it’s even worth it to try to correct the record, but the good part is that the vast, vast majority of normie Harry Potter fans (which is like, everyone) do not give a shit and have the same response as all of us do.
