I am completely and utterly done pretending like JKR is not a transphobic bully. Did she start out with a genuine concern for women’s rights when it comes to e.g. prisons and sports? Sure, I can believe that. I have concerns there too. At this point though, she has been completely captured by abject hatred of trans women, a tiny minority of people who do not threaten women’s rights in any meaningful way. Yes, trans women suffer from misogyny. If anything, trans women are seen as less than women. A fair target for ridicule and discrimination, by men and (some) women alike. And some of those women absolutely delight in beating up on trans women. After all, in their eyes, trans women are just men. A type of men they can denigrate without consequences, and rather even with the explicit support and encouragement of the *actually patriarchal* men in their lives.
