    I’m not them, but one possible approach is to ensure your participation in the fandom helps keep it in line with rules 1 and 2.

    Essentially, make H.P. trans-affirming ; promote as unofficial canon things like a rule at Hogwarts allowing the nurse to administer poly juice potion to kids who feel the need to experiment with their bodies’ gender expression, or that the marbles club was a secret trans dude support group, whatever. It doesn’t need to be everything nor everywhere, just needs to be undeniable if anyone asks.

    Allow newcomers to encounter H.P. through rule 3, but ensure they can’t meaningfully participate with the fandom without being “confronted” with, essentially, a check if some sorts. I don’t know how well this would work in practice - HP is still a global cultural reference and so no single person (apart from JKR herself maybe) can influence everyone else’s exposure to it too any meaningful degree.

      Combine this with making sure all fans know how to get access to the media without paying for it, and hooking up the trusted people in your life if they want that, so they don’t have to buy it.
