So, exactly what "real life experiences" has Rowling had with trans people, that led her to hold such an objectively bigoted worldview?
They made her feel bad when they told her she was being mean?
That's basically it. She just got informed what she had done hurt some people DARVOed into the sun and just kept doubling down.
Oooo boi, thats ones a tin o worms. Personally, im leaning towards they thenselves are trans but have a lot ofself-loathing coupled with trauma from sexual abuse from a cis guy that didnt support them when they tried to come out.
The author that writes from the POV of a boy and used a male pen name and supposedly used “JK” to sound more male? A trans man? The devil you say!
She said once that she would have transitioned but bravely overcame it. It was supposed to inspire people to just stop being so dang trans.
Source: I dunno, the person I'm quoting might have made it up. I hope not, I want to believe that she is her own biggest victim.
You joke, but internalised transphobia wouldn't surprise me at all. Maybe JK is trans, I'd love for that to become a rumour.
No joke, I believe that she said it, I'm just too lazy to prove it.
