“A woman who used her wealth to raise up and give back to the marginalised," wrote another. "There’s a lesson there.” And an obstetrician named Dr. Nifkin delivered a fact check: “She supported trans people you ghoul.”

Another quoted Rowling in writing: “‘A complete, irreplaceable one-off.’ Parton spent sixty years telling every single person that’s what they were too, no exceptions. I’m sorry your paths only crossed the once. She could have taught you so much.”

      The best thing to do is to expose the evil she does until enough people are aware of her actions and the harm she causes and stop funding her through consumption of Harry Potter.
