      .@SLSingh as one of the most prominent names in UK skepticism and as chairman of @GoodThinkingSoc are you not concerned signing this letter may add legitimacy to the alternative medicine, pseudoscience and distrust of public health advice spread by Rowling and her associates?https://twitter.com/SLSingh/status/1311269420300472322 …

      For example, in her infamous "TERF Wars" blog post she endorsed the non-evidence based pseudo-psychiatric diagnosis of "rapid-onset gender dysphoria" among other false and misleading claims.

      The ROGD myth causes real harm. For just one recent and tragic example, take a look at this recent tweet from a parent convinced by people like Rowling that her son suffers from the condition. (Note also that it's retweeted by the Rowling-endorsed "LGB Alliance" hate group).pic.twitter.com/aivuQY5tBh

      You may say that this isn't a defence of her views but merely a statement on "bullying" and "abuse" but would you sign an equivalent letter defending Andrew Wakefield? If not, do you not think it irresponsible to sign this letter without looking into Rowling's claims in detail?

          Replying to @Simon_Whitten

          Rowling is an interesting case study in extremism. For example she raises the chicken-or-egg question of whether she always held these extremist and bigoted views or the ostracism drove her to embrace progressively more extreme positions.
