Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content.

7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.

I abundetly agree that is correct. But I am doing my best to try to think of her personal viewpoint, in JK's mind she is defending women from men. Hell, her stupid books are a racist allegory for how evil racism is, but when she gets praised from literaly white supramcists and dictarors, she makes excuses for being the greater good.
It's only when from her twisted perspective, she (for the first time) attacked an "actual woman", that she is finally giving pause. JK thinks she is feminist even if all she has done in actuality is outright misogyny. Which is why I am so frustrated, she didn't wake up to what a monster she has been, just that she needs to be more careful in who she "righteously" attacks.
I don't think Rowling is as capable of change as you do. I think Rowling still sees Khelif 100% as a male man, because she's black. And I think Rowling is viewing this as the woke lobby taking away all her money and making her live on the street for challenging them. I think this is making Rowling incredibly outraged, and she's only shut up out of fear. And that's good. I want Rowling to be angry and scared and powerless. Because I don't think anything in the world could ever convince her that trans women are women.
I miss trial by combat.
You could have made this claim once, and it been believable.
Had Rowling made even one...just one comment about the literal child rapist (whose victim was a 12-year-old girl) that competed at this Olympics...you might have been able to keep believing this.
But her absolute silence about an issue where an actual girl was traumatised by the actions of an actual man, and insistence on going to war against a woman who she's pretending is a man instead, completely removes any semblance of doubt there. Her goal is to delegitimise trans women. That's not just an instrumental goal, it is the terminal goal: the cruelty is the entire point.
