They'll either quietly deny it or shout how proud they are from the rooftops, but HP fans are actively funding transphobia every time they buy any of that shit
So in other words, yes, they do hold some of the blame for this

They talk to and about this guy extensively without mentioning he’s an anti-trans blogger

Holy shit it's disgusting. They quote him going off on some anti autism bullshit to justify his transphobia. Fuck him and fuck you BBC. This article is full of transphobic bullshit.

BBC, Guaridan Uk, and most other British media are transphobic as fuck. It’s what’s ultimately turned me off all of them and seeing how much these legacy media institutions are not the arbiters of integrity and truth society thinks them.

Controversy sells it seems and our existence is frighteningly controversial. I never expected to wear a pink triangle when we learned about the Holocaust. I thought that shit was behind us as a species. How naive my younger self was.

This is far better than they normally do seeing as they actually got the opinion of a trans person effected.

It's healthcare.
And denying transgender people care is denying healthcare.
