Well, I read this, and I must confess to being disappointed that trans men, and Rowling's specific targeting of trans men in her statement weren't mentioned at all.https://www.thecut.com/article/who-did-j-k-rowling-become.html?utm_source=tw …

What is it going to take for people to realize that bathroom predator panic is only half of the transphobe's worldview (and way less than half of Rowling's actual statement)?

The sexist belief that trans men are being tricked into transitioning (because we all know "girls" can't make decisions about their own lives) is a HUGE part of the transphobic narrative. We cannot allow it to fly under the radar or be presented as respectable and measured.

Replying to @e_urq
No. You've not been listening. Walk a mile in the shoes of a teenage girl. Then you'll understand why they transition. The "trick", sadly, is that it won't fully work to eliminate the misogyny. And any small gains come with such a price.
