For context, that dude's a Tory PoS who was saying that to bolster the false claim that she's not transphobic at all. Please don't take my word for it - even just the snip before the paywall from this wet fart of an opinion column clarifies his position:https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/the-tories-must-mobilise-soon-in-the-culture-wars-or-they-may-find-themselves-outflanked-q7mkth7gn …

Rowling's lazy as hell when it comes to doing basic due diligence - like, say, coming up with a Chinese name - but she's shown *extreme* motivation when it comes to diving really far down into obscure rabbit holes that appeal to her on some personal level.

I fully believe that dude is garbage but I don't think I've ever seen Rowling do anything that could be construed as "extremely motivated"

Hear me out on this one - and I'm not trying to give her *credit* here, god knows - but consider how rapidly she went from "merely" having crappy opinions on LGBTQ+ issues to seemingly knowing all the juiciest transphobic dog-whistles that won't get her banned from Twitter.

Ehhhh She embraced TERFness relatively swiftly but even the style of her transphobia is very normcore even in her diatribes against trans people I don't think she's referenced an equivalently deep cut to Robert Galbraith (e.g., the cotton ceiling meme)

She’s definitely said some nasty shit about intersex people in her books, and blocks anyone who’s like “wtf”.

Casual Vacancy, multiple characters use the H word, not all of whom are "villainous", also juxtaposed with a lot of anti-sikh bigotry, JKR acts like a little shit when asked about it and insta-blocks.

Ah yeah okay I did know about this I honestly don't even think Rowling knew that intersex people existed when she wrote that, she was just foaming at the mouth to be racist

Right, the author who puts Pippa in his book reimagines her as an H-word from classical Greek myth etc

The fact that JKR studied classical literature makes me squicky about using centaurs’ revenge as justice.
