Sorry, another topic that wasn't needed or wanted

I just went for a peek to go look at it and maaaaaan, she has leaned into this so fucking hard. Like she has literally nothing else on her mind now. It's just post after post after post about the same topic.

I could somewhat understand it (but not excuse it) if she just had some spicy thoughts on gender and it came up occasionally among the many things she thinks about, but this...this is a one-track terf. What the hell happened to her

I genuinely think that after fifteen years of being a beloved media figure, she just could not handle it when a decent percentage of her turn base criticized her on this. So she just doubled down over and over again.

Perfect example of someone who has nothing else going on in her life. Shes too successful she literally has nothing else to worry about.

I completely get she had experienced domestic violence / rape so its worth pointing out this is going to massively influence her beliefs but then you dont get other people who went through that being as toxic as she is.

I think she just has no one to discuss this with to offer an alternate point of view or push back and shes gone deep into it.

Yea that's why I push back against people who try to bring up her record as a feminist. Like when all you do is complain about trans people 24/7 and in your efforts you align yourself with the far right then you yourself are on the far right. You don't get a pass because you revealed that a character was gay in your books 15 years ago.

I went through some of the replies to her tweets and I can hardly find anyone condemning her. I don't know how Twitter works, maybe the replies she responded to are higher in the list. She's basically in an echo chamber now.

She 100% exists in an echo chamber. She's constantly being love-bombed by other transphobes online 24/7 because she's the TERF hero. That's why she's never going to change.

It's my most hated of disingenuous arguments. They knock you off-balance with a generalization and you really have no choice but to get defensive if you respond. They may even set it up by letting us know how much they hate tragedies being made "political" beforehand.

If I had to decide that right now I'd agree because Lovecraft got less racist as time went on. Rowling seems to be doubling down constantly. Getting worse instead of improving.

Pretty much. I almost feel its a mental health issue for her now.

For what its worth Im very pro-trans rights and Ive had people throwing abuse at me for being anti-trans which couldnt be further from the truth. It does make it hard to side with some pro-trans people (as a group not the idea of being pro trans) when you get attacked even when you are also pro-trans. I do feel that its hard to have a nuanced open discussion on the issue because you instantly get labelled anti-trans. Just look at the other topics on this.

Just like Dave Chappelle, she made being a TERF her entire personality. For the longest time she never said anything about trans people either way. Everyone assumed she was supportive because she was liberal and pretty openly pro-LGB. Then she started liking fellow TERF posts, and now it's all she talks about.

And this is the real problem people don't talk about often enough. This isn't just her opinion. If it was, she'd have cut her losses and left years ago. She's doing this because it's actually important to her.

He liked another tweet of hers recently, with the reasoning he "defends anyone saying their truth" but remains a full supporter of trans rights. Saying they are human rights.

Rather baffling, but the aggrieved party that Rowling was attacking (a trans woman) was happy with Hamill's response so whatever ultimately.

Call me bizarrely prescient, but Rowling's given off subtle villain vibes since the early 2000's, or at the very least presented with an unhealthy dose of self-importance. I can't say I find her behavior all that surprising.

Any time someone tries to give her the benefit of the doubt by saying how 'liberal' she is on other issues, I can't help but think of her face superimposed on the mayor from Blazing Saddles: "All right, we'll take the [redacted]s and the [redacted]s, but we won't take the transgenders!!"

She has turned her current book series into a soap box for her beliefs.

Synopsis for her latest book: "When frantic, dishevelled Edie Ledwell appears in the office begging to speak to her, private detective Robin Ellacott doesn't know quite what to make of the situation. The co-creator of a popular cartoon, The Ink Black Heart, Edie is being persecuted by a mysterious online figure who goes by the pseudonym of Anomie. Edie is desperate to uncover Anomie's true identity.

Robin decides that the agency can't help with this - and thinks nothing more of it until a few days later, when she reads the shocking news that Edie has been tasered and then murdered in Highgate Cemetery, the location of The Ink Black Heart.

Robin and her business partner Cormoran Strike become drawn into the quest to uncover Anomie's true identity. But with a complex web of online aliases, business interests and family conflicts to navigate, Strike and Robin find themselves embroiled in a case that stretches their powers of deduction to the limits - and which threatens them in new and horrifying ways . ."

Yeah feels like her own persecution complex in book form.
