I literally said I didn't agree with everything she said. But she did point out issues that seem to be very UK-centric, which might explain why many people worldwide found her stance so hard to grasp. I just think she's trying to understand, and what's really hurtful is what the media and people on socials took out of it by oversimplifying her discourse and making her seem like the villain in the process. I'm fairly sure she didn't mean to hurt anyone, and loves trans people as much as the next person. Gender dynamics are mysterious, I don't think anyone can pretend to have all the answers, so the least we can do is try to have an educated discussion about it without cancelling people that might not share your exact views. But since it deals with people's very identity, of course it's gonna be taken personally.

Yet you don't find it suspicious at all that the plot of her next book stars a cis man who dresses up as a woman to kill women? 

It's all just too cute by half. I'm not even going to get into the "coincidence" that is her pen name Robert Galbraith. 

To say that she "loves trans people as much as the next person" is intellectually dishonest. Her words have been consistently hurtful. The trans and queer community has TOLD HER she's hurt us. Yet she keeps doing this. Stab after stab after stab; she continues to hurt us. 

In the words of someone who does more for women than JK:

J.K. Rowling has apparently created yet another horcrux — this time in the form of her new novel “Troubled Blood.”

According to a review of the book published Sunday in The Telegraph, “Troubled Blood,” published under her alias Robert Galbraith, centers on the disappearance of a woman “thought to have been a victim of Dennis Creed, a transvestite serial killer.”

“One wonders what critics of Rowling’s stance on trans issues will make of a book whose moral seems to be: never trust a man in a dress,” Jake Kerridge writes in his review. (“Transvestite” is an outdated term typically used to refer to men who sometimes wear women’s clothing — which is not the same as being transgender.)

Reviews from other outlets, including the Wall Street Journal and the Guardian, have not referenced this detail.

The Telegraph review led #RIPJKRowling to trend on Twitter — not because she is dead but because people are noting that the author is killing her own career with her views. Some have used the hashtag to recommend works by trans authors; others have used it to defend Rowling’s freedom to hold these views.

The book appears to lean into problematic stereotypes portraying transgender people as villains, despite studies that show transgender people face high rates of harassment and violence. Earlier this month, Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte pardoned a U.S. Marine who in 2015 was convicted of killing a transgender woman because of her gender identity.

Critics have also noted that “Troubled Blood,” the fifth novel in her Cormoran Strike detective series, is not the first book in the series with transphobic elements. She had previously been called out for her depiction of a trans woman in the second Cormoran Strike novel, “The Silkworm.”

The “Harry Potter” author has been repeatedly criticized for making anti-transgender comments on Twitter. In June, she took offense at an op-ed that used the more inclusive phrase “people who menstruate” instead of “women.”

Shortly after the backlash to those comments, Rowling published a lengthy essay on her personal website levying a number of inaccurate claims about the transgender community because she was “worried about the new trans activism.”

Her concerns boiled down to the perceived safety of cisgender women in bathrooms; there is no evidence that transgender people using the restrooms that align with their gender identity puts anyone else in danger. (Studies instead show that transgender people often report experiencing harassment, assault and denial of access when attempting to use public restrooms.)

A number of “Harry Potter” actors have spoken out in support of the trans community this year in response to Rowling’s comments.

This woman is disgusting and her "book" is fuelling the negative connotations that trans people have faced for years. Anybody who supports her can leave

I don’t understand why people are so mad about the plot of that book since we’ve seen that in other things like movies, plays and books. Are people mad because JK Rowling said those things about trans people in the past and now is using that controversy to sell her new book?

[littlepotter 76,616]

WHAT THE FU K?@*@?!?!??@? WHAT? SHE MADE HER HATRED INTO A CORMORAN STRIKE BOOK? I'VE BEEN COLLECTING THIS SERIES AND ACTUALLY REALLY ENJOYED THIS FIRST TWO BOOKS. I REGRET PURCHASING THE OTHER TWO SO MUCH. SHE MADE ME INVEST IN A BIGOTED SERIES, IM DISGUSTED

Maybe we're made that she is transphobic and actively perpetrating her bigoted harmful beliefs through books that so many people wlare going to purchase?

Hmm I guess so. But just reading the description of it, it's more about a transvestite man or more like just a man who dresses as a woman to committ those crimes, doesn't really say he enjoys dressing up as a woman or that the story is about a transgender person. Anyway, JK Rowling KNOWS what she's doing and she's loving all of this drama, I'm sure.

I mean, she has been articulate on her viewpoints. And she's said that she has trans friends

Being articulate is not the same as being respectful and humane towards the experience of other human beings just saying. I know you're on the same page as us but I just don't want people to think that articulating your viewpoints automatically justifies your position.

[Guest]

Wait... so you are mad because serial killer is a men in a dress and a freak at the same time? 

[Flawless 2,236]

I don't know if some of you here don't understand why people are so mad about it (rightfully) or just being dishonest tbh 

[Sepsami 21,000]

Let's see how much support she'll get from her twitter incels
