      I've just finished reading the whole of the post by @jk_rowling It only increases my admiration for her -a deeply empathetic human. The attacks on her are utterly unjustified. Read her own words: https://www.jkrowling.com/opinions/j-k-rowling-writes-about-her-reasons-for-speaking-out-on-sex-and-gender-issues/ …

      This helpfully breaks down why Rowling is neither empathetic nor admirable in her writing: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1270787941275762689.html …

      For this anonymous person, there isn't enough hate today so let's spread a bit more.

      Yes. Now I'll leave you to your (small number) of friends who think that bullying is fun.

      Where’s the “bullying”? I only saw a couple of responses by him, and they were polite. Most of the less polite responses came from those who agree with you.

      Replying to @gorskon @david_colquhoun and

      I'm sure JK Rowling can blow here nose in a rare Bank of England £100,000,000 note. Trans people are made homeless, unemployed, assaulted and murdered just for being trans. If only we could care as much about that as we do about JK Rowling being non-politely contradicted online.

      In the UK, we have legislation that protects trans people who have a gender reassignment characteristics from discrimination. It would be illegal to make them homeless or sack them. It is time the US caught up with more progressive laws such as here in the UK.

      Replying to @gorskon @lecanardnoir and

      Nobody here is arguing that US laws protecting trans people aren’t close to nonexistent or that the current administration isn’t unrelentingly hostile to trans people and their rights, hence my retorting, “Whataboutism.”
