'If You Support Harry Potter, You're Supporting Trans Genocide'

Key Points:

• In response to Hollywood's retreat from trans representation amid a wave of anti-trans legislation and cultural backlash, filmmaker Lilly Wachowski co-founded Anarchists United Foundation and Studio to support marginalized voices through grants, mentorships, and production resources.
• Wachowski highlighted the shift from a hopeful "trans tipping point" era, marked by prominent trans visibility in media, to a period dominated by right-wing propaganda and corporate conservatism that stifles trans stories and artists in the entertainment industry.
• Anarchists United's inaugural project, "Cassie Workman Is Witchy AF," is a low-budget docuseries featuring a trans comedian exploring occult themes, exemplifying the studio’s mission to produce authentic, queer-led content outside mainstream Hollywood constraints.
• Wachowski criticized influential figures like Elon Musk and J.K. Rowling for promoting transphobia and funding anti-trans legislation, urging audiences to consider the political impact of supporting their work and platforms.
• Reflecting on her and Lana Wachowski’s past work, including "The Matrix," Lilly explained how themes of liberation and oppression in their storytelling resonate with their own transgender experiences and intersect with broader struggles for racial and social justice.
