The Harry Potter books were incredibly hacky, they started as books for children, then later she tried to add more "grownup" themes like "racism is bad." I always laughed when I'd see an adult reading one of her books. So I'm glad to see public opinion turned against her.

Because she keeps pushing her belief that trans women are just men trying to prey on women (by e.g. using womens bathrooms)

and her new book is about a man who dresses like a woman to prey on women

i don't think very many people actually want her to get murdered (though it is probably more than zero, admittedly) a lot of the people she's wronged just won't shed any tears if she were to get hit by a bus tomorrow.

it's still probably not right, but it's not all that unusual of a sentiment.

I stumbled across the reviews for her upcoming book recently.

https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/3424117805?book_show_action=true&from_review_page=1

Reviewer complains that his review was taken down because it wasn't a review lol. Comments are good too.

Its just a Silence of the Lambs type of story right?

And how long has she been working on it since the Twitter Like drama?

Anyway I'll probably buy it, to support her and to enjoy a nice thriller.

No, a story about a crossdressing man is not as horrible as the large threatening group of people wishing death on a woman for writing a story that doesnt even include what theyre upset about.

That's literally JK Rowling's belief towards trans people.

This is like if some famous author was continuously referring to black people as monkeys and then wrote a book about groups of monkeys invading and terrorizing a white community.

And in response to people getting upset about the racism in the book, your response to them would be "Hey people, stop being so racist!"

Yes, if you ignore all context, this book is at worst suspect

but since JK Rowling has spent the last couple years on a twitter crusade against trans women, its very clear what her meaning is here

A lot of her ents on trans people are pretty valid though. Definitely not all of them, but a lot of them. A cis woman and a trans womans experience are very different and people seem to want to conflate the two to be inclusive. The reality is that cis woman don't deal with the stuff trans women do and vice versa.

"trans women have experiences that are unique to them and we should be aware of that" =/= "trans women aren't real women!"

And not all cis-women deal with the same stuff that other cis-women do and same for trans-women. But we can still share the same fucking bathroom. We still are far more susceptible to violence than men. We are still marginalized people. We can support and have empathy for one another across all distinctions.

But Rowling has shown time and time again to not have that. So all of her arguments fall flat when the basis of her views are "I refuse to acknowledge you people as yourselves"

Transphobes acting innocent to deflect from obvious dog whistles coming from a woman who explicitly stated what the whistles mean.

She's a transphobe. The entire basis of this book is based on outdated and fucked up stereotypes about trans women, namely

That they're men in dresses
That they're a threat to women
That they're mentally ill
That they're violent

Legitimately, the views it's espousing get trans women killed every year. Fact, her mystery novel pen name is that of a gay conversion therapist. And remember that one of her prior books had a trans woman as a criminal who assaulted women and was threatened with rape.

Anyone who defends her by default is just like her with regards to bigotry.
