After noted transphobe and extremely-divorced anti-semite Elon Musk told Rowling to cool it with the fixation on trans women, she has still gone full steam ahead and continued to double down. I feel like she's pretty close to a meltdown of some kind.

Anyway if you want some children's fiction about wizards that's not written by somebody who grinds her teeth at night in anger over stranger's genitals, try reading Dianne Duane.

I honestly didn't know she got this bad. I am not on Twitter so I don't keep up with these things. I didn't know her whole online existence seems to be anti-trans now.

Yeah she has become rather monomaniacal.

Musk said that he agrees with her 100%

I just hope that Harry Potter will lose it relevant and her inability to make anything new will get her to shut up.

Somehow I doubt the latter will happen even if the former does.

JK rowling is a transphobe? What a surprising turn around after her past few years of never ever talking about trans people ever.

Can we all just pretend she doesn't exist?

Some people want to, but she really makes it hard. That lady does NOT like to be ignored.

She's the public face of "respectable" transphobia away from clear far-right politics to a lot of people, so publicly melting down into saying the quiet parts out loud and making it clear how deranged and hateful her ideas have always been right below the surface is probably a good thing.

Is she still Respectable? Cuz it seems like she's been cozying up to Nazis for a while now.
