But will she continue bitching about it like Jordan Peterson still does about the law in Canada that he didn't get arrested for supposedly violating?
She did send Harry Potter into the ladies toilet though 🤔
She also said she created Harry because she wanted to be a boy.
If She is not against transgender men. Then she may want everyone to be a boy.

“I was supposed to be a boy,” she notes in A Year in the Life, a 2007 documentary
Oh my goodness, that’s a tragic tale that explains so much. Back story really does make a difference in perspective, but she’s still a massive anal fissure of a person for alienating others and perpetuating the suffering she was passed.
Yeah if the most dramatic interpretation of all that is true, and I’m not saying it is, it’s not an excuse. A lot of the worst things done at anti gay conversion groups are done by people who objectively experience significant same gender attraction. That doesn’t absolve the straight people who taught them to hate themselves but their self hate manifests as torturing those who don’t hate themselves. It’s still evil to torture them no matter why you do it.
Oh, it's the trans version of being gay is a choice i guess...
Would explain a lot, because to most transppl the thought of someone wanting to be what they were assigned at birth makes no sense whatsoever. But regardless it's not hard to accept that others might feel like you do but in reverse. Shows one hell of a lack of empathy to then conclude that must mean anyone claiming they do want to must have ulterior motives.
Maybe that at least means there's hope for her to realize what kind of bs she's spouting, but she's probably a lost cause.
It's sad watching you people twist your brains into knots to avoid realizing that some people don't agree with you.
This has nothing to do with not agreeing with people.
Misinterpreted the law and went on a campaign about how he'd protest it and go on some sort of hunger strike like a martyr. Everyone that platformed him during that time owes everyone an apology.

So many bigots suffer from perpetual victimhood.
