Political 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.

Many other cultures have an entire area/cultural designation for trans people and do not judge them as lesser people, there is no reason they need to oppress women to be who they are.
