I have immense respect for the fact that you're willing to actually take a hit to your business for the sake of standing up for what's right. It's easy to boycott a product or a producer, it's much harder to do what you're doing.

    Years ago I pulled all of the Hamper Potter merchandise off my shop's shelves and dropped it at a thrift store. I considered the trash, but did not want it to end up in the land fill. I realize my shop had already paid for it, and Jo already made her money. But I did not want the optics of her shit on my shelves. Yes, a lot of people ask for HP merch, and yes I give them an earful when they do, no I am not ashamed.

    I salute you. No idea where your business is, if it's in the Netherlands or near it, I'll gladly visit.

    Thank you, it means a lot. I am a hetero cis white male, I can never understand the hardships a trans person goes through on a daily basis. All I can do is stand in front of them, trying to deflect some of the blows meant for them.

    I understand you're probably wary of self-promoting here, but if you feel like PMing me the name of your store (assuming that's information you're happy sharing online) I'll certainly be happy to pass it around where I can.
