    Molly, Charlie, Fred & George Weasley were all described as stout-figured in the books. Nobody hates them (well Filch, when they earned it). Neville was also depicted as being round. I don’t have time to list every overweight character on the “good” side; the point you should be able to acknowledge is that she did not make heaviness an exclusively evil trait.

    Additionally, most of the antagonists are thin/average. Do you think you’re meant to read them as less-bad people because of that? No, because weight/body type has literally nothing to do with the battle lines.

    If you think they put something like that in the game without her okay, you are deluded. She doesn’t hate trans people as a whole, contrary to what frothing activists believe. She 100% considers them just people.

    What she objects to is the erosion of single-sex spaces & services. If those were allowed to persist without being called bigotry, then she & probably many gender critical people wouldn’t have an issue. Don’t be a simpleton; recognize that there are complex perspectives involved and not just “hate”.
