I’m looking forward to any reply you get because I honestly can’t understand the online hatred of her, apart from people making themselves feel good by believing they’re fighting the good fight or whatever.
Jkr is hated for the following;
Views on Sex and Gender: Rowling argues that “sex is real” and determines the lived reality of women, arguing that disregarding biological sex harms women’s rights.
“People who menstruate” Comment: In 2020, she criticized the phrase “people who menstruate,” which many deemed anti-trans, leading to criticism from LGBTQ groups.
Single-Sex Spaces: She has expressed concerns about transgender women accessing women-only spaces, such as bathrooms and changing rooms, citing her own experiences with sexual assault.
Legislative Opposition: Rowling has actively opposed reforms to gender recognition laws in Scotland, notes this BBC article.
Apparently because she dared to state her opinion, and even worse to support her own opinion that makes her evil incarnate.
Because views you don’t believe in are innately evil I guess, I don’t know because I’ve never heard a good reason why she shouldn’t be able to hold these views if she wants, or to spend her money how she wants.
Btw, she has donated over $250 million to various causes, primarily focusing on children’s welfare, Multiple Sclerosis research, and women’s rights.
Which laws and can you give me a source for what she said?
I’m not sure why she feels that that phrase is an attack on women, you’d have to ask her.
Although her point from looking online in that instance was that the word women should be used, because you know, only women menstruate.
Again, I asked what has she said about trans people? To the points you’ve brought up it seems that she is advocating for women, not against trans people.
I’m happy to be shown that she hates trans people but as of yet I haven’t received anything she actually said about trans people that was negative…
I’m not sure why she feels that that phrase is an attack on women, you’d have to ask her.
Of course. “Yes it talks like a duck, but we can’t be sure if that’s actually a quack or just a noise that happens to sound exactly like a duck.”
I asked what has she said about trans people?
What do you think being upset about the phrase “people who menstruate” says about trans people? In what world does using the phrase “people who menstruate” instead of “women” harm women? It’s a more precise term, because not all women actually menstruate. Prepubescent girls and post-menopausal women do not menstruate. Are they not women?
“That whistle is broken. Yes, everytime you blow it all the animals near by seem to react, but neither of us actually heard anything so clearly it’s not a whistle.”
If you cover your ears and close your eyes I guess you can convince yourself her complaints about the term “people who menstruate” has nothing to do with Trans People, but in reality that argument is disingenuous as fuck.
What criticisms do you have that aren’t histrionics?

Truly evil…
“sure, she has said all these bigoted things, I don’t see the problem with it.”
Then I can’t help you.

She has been outspoken against anti-hate speech laws that would protect trans people.
Can you please explain how a reasonable person interprets the phrase “people who menstruate” as an attack on women?

So no actual quotes or sources of trans hate from her then?
Just a point that has nothing to do with trans people.
