I'm curious as to why you say this: now that J.K. Rowling has decided to use her one life on this earth to be shitty to trans people. Not super cool of you, Joanne!!!
I said it because it's factually true! She's defended, or aligned herself with, a number of people who've expressed transphobic views disguised as feminism.

I find it super disappointing! You can read more about it here: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/07/arts/Jk-Rowling-controversy.html
