It says more about you that you're incapable of seeing hate unless the person spreading it literally says the quiet part out loud. Rowling does the bare minimum, couching her hate in the thinnest veneer of plausible deniability, and you just gobble it up. She freely associates with TERFs and White Nationals, simply because they agree with her views on transwomen.
The UK has made a hard turn against trans rights in the last decade, and Rowling had been the driving force behind that reversal.
You're making up a quiet part that you can't possibly know is true, that's the problem. You're reading into something that's not there. Again, you do you, but most people outside of the trans activist community aren't going to agree, including some trNs people themselves.
Agreeing with someone isnt gobbling anything up, it's just coming to the same conclusion and not believing that transphobia encompasses what she is.
The UK made a hard turn because they saw the damage that treating disphoria physically first and mentally second is having. There were dire consequences. I agree there's going to be some overreach in response to the overreach from what more of the extreme activists have done. I think we'll eventually get to a good place and figure it out, but until then, things will get rocky.
This is after Sweden, who was first to start the extreme treatments we've seen, pulled back as well.
No, you see, I included evidence for this, her friends that are TERFs and White Nationals. If she "wanted the best" for trans people, she wouldn't associate with people who wanted them eradicated. You ignored it. She also uses Motte-and-Bailey Fallacies to maintain distance from her less friendly views. I can get receipts if you want.
Prove it. Cause from where I'm sitting, a right-leaning government took over and ran back social progress, a thing right-leaning governments do. What were the negative ramifications from allowing trans people to exist without needing to jump through hoops? They were "dire" in your own words, so you must have some examples.
Appeal to Authority. And meaningless to this conversation. It's not proof of anything, just that a fairly socially conservative country ran back a socially progressive policy. Shocker.
