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/ …

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.

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.”
