I'm not surprised she's going hostile at this point, we act as if this is unprompted but getting letters with strange powder, death & rape threats, and stalkers has unfortunately been affirming a lot of the worst fears about trans folks.

You’re willing to extend her grace for getting aggressive w/ her detractors, but not trans folk getting aggressive in response to her attacks & funding of hate groups. Your sympathies lie w/ the wrong party.
because not once has she wished for anyone deaths, or call her supporters to harm anyone. I think it was fair to boycott her franchise if you disagree with her. Mute her on your social media. give away or burn her products you dont want anymore.
Shocking that a well-known figure publicly saying that folks need protection from a group would be taken by members of that group as an attempt, unintentionally or not, to harm members of that group.
She funds & platforms folk who do call for their deaths. She called trans folk Death Eaters, after her Nazi analogue. Wrote a book about trans women “invading women’s spaces” to murder.
Can you please tell me who she funding calling for the death of trans people? I've thrown up some sources, I'd like to know where you guys are getting your sources.
I think his work inspired a few Jubilee stories and debates. The de-transitioning topic is a whole other can of worms but probably worthwhile discussion. There's been some research coming out about the long term implications of hormone blockers that I'm sure will inflame the discussion there soon.
It was not fair to send mobs after streamers over a videogame, start flame wars in 'safe spaces' meant for queer nerds, or ostracize and harass other trans folks employed by film and videogame studios working with the franchise.
"If you had just shut up and taken her bigotry, she wouldn't be a Nazi supporter now. This is all your fault".
No, Janet-Karen is an adult and is responsible for her own words and actions. However much she might act like it, she's not a toddler throwing a tantrum.
It’s cool how the narrative from JKR defenders went from “She doesn’t hate trans people, you’re misinterpreting her tweets” to “She hates trans people but it’s their fault”
You and I have the luxury to engage with sain and normal trans folks. She's become a magnate for the craziest attention seeking nit jobs. Had it not become trend setting to hate on Rowling, I honestly think she wouldn't feel compelled to be saying much about anything about trans people.
She 100% has the right, but apparently not the ability, to stfu about trans folks.
She can choose, at any time, to not engage on trans issues. She can choose, at any time, to not initiate conversations about trans issues. She has failed the Streisand criterion multiple times.
I mean, I can pull out the receipts, we can have a workcite fight if you want. But you have not really said anything of substance. If you'd like to have a civil engagement on the matter- cool. If your content with the echo chamber of recycled memes than this is probably a sisyphean task in futility.
your premise is that she did nothing wrong before she was scared by crazy trans people and now all of her subsequent actions are reasonable and shouldn't even be criticized.
I work with & have my share or normal trans freinds- but I've seen how crazy folks can get when they are terminally online.
JK is a celebrity. She attracts crazy, and unfortunately, it's a lot of crazies of the trans community- and that can really Warp anyone's view of a group.
it sucks that there's so many crazies out there who read some words about the holocaust and point out that they're factually incorrect. wish more people could be normal (agree with you personally) instead

She's an adult defending Nazis.

I feel 0 sympathy.
