What makes me sad (and exasperated) is that thousands of Rowling's fans have been led to believe that the author of their beloved franchise hates them.

And it's not even true.

They're only hurting themselves.

Who..gives a shit. Ernest Hemingway was such a misogynist. Still a great writer. .

Yeah, except that whatever bad things are said of JK aren't true. The fans really are just hurting themselves! It's pathetic, but also I do feel bad for those who have such an external locus of control.

Well. JK Rowling does not believe trans women really are women. If you truly believe that trans women are women; and to believe otherwise is transphobic; in that sense; she is

In my heart of hearts, I think that's a fucking stupid-ass way of determining transphobia.

In polite society, I might say that such an approach is impractical, and maybe offer examples why I think so.
