Fortunately, only one word exists to describe someone's gender in Persian.

Hermione that ends up marrying Ron is the biggest insult to women that the author has ever made. The real hero in the book is Hermione, Harry is a narcissist that never comes to terms with his wounds, he is like Voldemort but always avoids facing himself and in the last battle it is Voldemort that looks at himself in the mirror. Harry has not done any awakening journey. And if I remember well the werewolf teacher was a transgender and how did he end up? An outcast that redeemed himself through his own sacrifice. 📗📘📙📘📙📗
