ETA: Specifically as to Rowling, I was looking forward to reading the Harry Potter books to the kid. She's not old enough yet, but soon. But we have a trans family member. It's going to be awhile before she will be old enough to be introduced to them with the proper context to avoid developing a relationship with Rowling that she may later regret. That probably means I won't wind up reading them to her at all (up to her whether she decides to read them herself later on). Poor JK!

Specifically as to Rowling,
this is the best thing I recall reading about the contretemps, but it's been a while and I don't recall much of what it said. In any event, it refutes Sebby's characterization of her critics.
Not sure I get your approach to what culture Tiny gets to like. You are going to keep the books away because of things that Rowling said later?
