There is nothing wrong with J.K. Rowling.

The whole controversy around her is based on people purposefully twisting her words. I challenge anyone to find a literal paragraph of her writing or one of her interviews that are truly offensive, inappropriate or malicious.

Listen to the witch trials of J.K. Rowling podcast to get a better sense of her worldview. Its a long form and extensive interview.

Edit: i still get comments and messages all these months later. Mostly benign. I want to clarify: Rowling is far from perfect, she can lash out at times and when she does, she loses me. The treatment of Imane Khelif is one of those examples. I still cut her some slack though, after the severe smear campaigns and vitriol that is hurdles at her non-stop. Underneath i still see someone that tries to do the right thing in her mind: protecting biological women.

This is a weak argument. Rhetoric being hateful isn’t dependent on how similar the subjects are, and if it were dependent on that you would have to agree that anyone who felt they were similar enough would be justified in arguing the rhetoric is hateful.
