      I didn't read all of JK Rowling's extremely long essay because I got tired of slogging through bad writing, but the part where she said that if she'd been born later, she might have decided to transition stood out like a blinking neon sign, and yet hardly anybody talks about it.

      This isn't a, "bigots secretly are what they hate," scenario speculating about somebody based on no evidence other than the bigotry, this is what Rowling told us about herself to explain why she wants to wall off trans men from transitioning.

      JK Rowling explained her motivations, and spelled out that they're partly rooted in panic about what the ability of trans men to transition means about her own identity and sense of self, and yet hardly anybody wants to talk about it.

      This is not to speculate about Rowling's gender, just to say that she full on told us that she doesn't feel sufficiently secure in her own womanhood to not feel threatened by the fact that other people question their gender, conclude they're not women, and do something about it.

      Anyway, this tweet is what got me thinking about the topic againhttps://twitter.com/e_urq/status/1341419024568225792 …

      I'll go further and say: You do not understand Rowling and have not adequately profiled her descent into transphobia if you ignore the part of her essay where she says that if she'd been born earlier, she might have transitioned herself. https://twitter.com/e_urq/status/1341404374032105490 …

      Replying to @KEBrightbill

      Thank you! For I absolutely understand why a cisgender writer might feel extra nervous about taking this on... so maybe get a trans person- especially a trans masculine writer- to do your long piece on Rowling, then!

          Replying to @e_urq

          Yeah, there's a lot of pitfalls where a piece on that could go wrong, and the fact that there haven't been any pieces about it speaks to the need for more trans masc writers in newsrooms
