I'd like a source on this. Not because I doubt it but because I want to compile a list that I can show people who thinks her shittyness isn't so bad.
Edit: Fuck it, post proof of all the awful shit she's said. Let's make a hate thread.

Appreciated. Keep it coming. I wish to learn.
Learning to hate is easy. Everyone is doing it. Being a peaceful person is very rare.
Get a job
Rowling does not deserve peace.
She's broken the agreement between the bourgeoisie and the state that the state will use violence to defend bourgeois privileges/rights in exchange for the bourgeoisie accepting certain obligations/civic duties?
Didn't that old thing get put out of its misery by Margaret Thatcher almost 50 years ago?
This bitch gets trans kids killed. Fuck her and fuck you for pulling that shit.
Hating evil and being peaceful are not mutually exclusive.
Loving people without hating the ones that hurt them is worthless.
It generally agrees with my views of Rowling, but is there anything beyond that single tweet to further flesh it out?
She could easily back out of that statement by saying “the fever dream” she’s referring to is the assertion she backs Nazi gender theories / policy instead of that they don’t do that.
I’m more apt to believe she’d deny it, but … skeptics and all.
Come on, it's literally in the text
Recently watched this really good video essay about the all the other things that are wrong with the Harry Potter books (e.g. fat shaming) and how it's informed by her neoliberal ideology.
Saving this for later. Thank you!
I don't know about Rowling specifically, but an unsurprising number of TERFs are real buddy buddies with far right groups, and this definitely includes people in Rowling's orbit.
Forgot the names, sorry, because this is one of the sad reality things you don't want to dwell too much on or you'll just get permanently sad. These people are miserable.
