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 …

Indeed. That blew my mind: what utter nonsense.
I'm not the only person to transition later in life. If she truly felt that need, she'd do it (unless there were barriers: barriers that I have a great deal of difficulty imagining would exist for a wealthy person
).4 replies 0 retweets 113 likes -

She's mistaking her internalized misogyny (which is pretty apparent from the Harry Potter books alone) for gender dysphoria. She doesn't hate being a woman; she just hates all the terrible things she thinks being a woman must entail and assumes that's how trans men feel.

I also hold out the possibility that she's mistaking her gender dysphoria and sexism for internalized misogyny. I'm not saying she is a self-hating trans man, but I don't think it should be an unspeakable possibility.
