the anti-trans movementās achievements like taking away gender-affirming care have directly been shown to result in increased suicides, as far as I know Gaimanās actions have not directly killed anyone, while Rowlingās advocacy does directly support a movement that results in deaths - I think the per-person severity of harm when a trans person self harms, attempts suicide, or succeeds in suicide (not to mention when anti-trans bigots rape, torture, and murder trans people) are all worse AFAIK
Itās true that Gaimanās actions havenāt directly killed anyone, but Iām not sure there are enough victims to definitively say that getting raped by Gaiman would cause less propensity for suicide than Rowlingās advocacy against trans people. Butā¦ I suspect you are right.
yeah, I agree with you - the harm is severe, itās just with such a small population we canāt show the concrete harm the way we can with a trans population where deaths are already happening (but that doesnāt diminish the actual harm to Gaimanās victims, which I would say is extreme).
