Zohran #Mamdani's support of #TransRights is well known
Here's a bizarre anecdote on that topic:
You may know that Zohran's mother is the director #MiraNair. Mira was offered the chance to direct "#HarryPotter and the Order of the Phoenix"
She turned it down because Zohran said no
A *14 year old* Zohran Mamdani kept his mother away from #JKRowling
(I'm not implying he knew of Rowling's #bigotry in 2006, I just find this trivia extraordinary)
