Just in case anyone is wondering, the quote is sourced from the podcast "The Witch Trials of J.K. Rowling."

I don't see her as transphobic. She has said multiple times that trans people deserve rights. She just wants to acknowledge the differences. I think she's against trans women in women sports that's just one aspect of it that in and of itself would not make someone transphobic in my view. And my opinion some of those transfer because somebody who literally hates trans people and doesn't think they ought to exist. Which is not how she feels.

Yes how dare she compare a movement of people who tend to try and destroy your life if you don't fall in a group of people who try and kill you if you don't...step in

She never called or inferred that trans people are villains. It is obvious that she drew parralels between those that slam her views as transphobic just because she does not believe that women shouldn't be called women, but people that menstruate. And she totally supports you wearing a dress, a makeup and sleeping with whoever you want.

I listened to the interview. JK Rowling's main point was that what made the death eaters so bad was their fascistic way of thinking. There is no room for nuance, debate or compromise. Every person that disagrees with me is evil and needs to be destroyed. She equated this with how extremists have treated her.

As a queer person and someone who disagrees with her stances. She unfortunately isn't wrong. The boycott and crusade against anyone who even slightly has different option is actively hurting the queer movement as a whole. We are going backwards because of all of the meaningless bullshit.

Remember when the Death Eaters were an allegory for Nazis. Good times.

Can someone please tell me where to find a complete list of her sex/gender focused tweets? I can’t find a place to read them without a writer cherry-picking, editorializing, and telling me “what she really means”.

She has so much more in common with Umbridge than she'd ever want to admit to herself.

Ugh. Just... there are too many things that seem absurd yet keep happening.

I understand she said wrong things but seriously people are attacking her just because she doesn't have to same views as them She was just stating her opinion and what she believes in.

The fact she doesn't see herself and other TERFS as the Death Eaters in the analogy is the least shocking thing.

She also dead names Voldemort multiple times with Dumbledore and Harry calling him Tim.

It is scary and sad to see the comments in here. Makes you legitimately worried.

honestly she's kinda been transphobic with hp & the chamber of secrets with harmful ideas of a new name vs a dead name with a character who is written as the villain

I think this should be called the onion effect, cos it happens to them all the time. I know it also happened with the Simpsons and other shows a lot too but I like the onion most of those so that's why I pick that one.

“We have been made to live in silence…” That feels to me like she intentionally created a metaphor for a marginalised & oppressed group of people, & rather than wanting the readers to sympathise with this persecuted demographic, she made them the villains.
(Edited because I just realised ‘intentionally’ had been autocorrected to ‘internationally’)

None of the death eaters ever said that line in the books.
I guess it’s yet another thing that didn’t come up because it wasn’t relevant to Harry’s story.

She's so obtuse, that's an intentionally vague summary of death eater ideology that can be made to describe almost any villain. And she knows it.

The main goal of the death eaters is to master immortality, guess they all forget ghosts are a thing where there from.
