I'll repeat it again teens aren't kids anymore, the bill wasnt exclusively about jail, you seemingly don't know what subtext is and take everything too literally (Again, Rowling didn't literally say she was against trans women being able to exist in female spaces, but she's still unknowingly wants to enable discrimination against them based on pure ignorance) and apparently research conducted by the UK government itself isn't a good source.
There's no true evil, I have sympathy towards Rowling despite everything because she tries to be respectful and I get where she's coming from, it's just that allienating trans people isn't a solution to the problem, the real problem is people like you being so reactionary and ironically getting offended over someone critizing your favorite children's book author for things that are google searches away, you can read her essay, you can read her tweets and see her support people that are actually more transphobic than her while cutting ties to people who actually support trans rights like stephen king, one can read good articles that actually debate her arguments or bring nuance to the conversation instead of just disguising a rant as a game review or.. you can buy and enjoy Hogwarts Legacy regardless because noone can stop you from doing so, even if you give money to a transphobe that won't make you one, but don't try to act like Rowling is some sort of saint that cannot be critiziced either or pretend a kids game selling millions will change anything, I never cared about Potter and I was never intending to buy the game anyways I just want to bring something to the conversation without being toxic.
Rowling is not a saint, she is just a woman with a long history of feminist activism. She voices opinions on trans people when, and only when, intersectional conflicts arise between the rights demanded by trans women and the rights already enjoyed by AFAB women.
At the heart of the dispute is that hoary old chestnut of a slogan being "trans women are women".
If you truly believe that trans women are women indivisible from AFAB women, there can be no compromise on debates like access to women's sports, refuges and prisons. Because any compromise requires that AFAB women and trans women are treated differently and that cannot stand when you believe that it is impossible to divide the two.
And this leads to complaints about trans women being banned from women's sport and prisons and such like and that this is transphobic.
As an additional layer of dispute, activists also believe that trans women should be able to self-identify as such unhindered by bureaucracy.
So anyone can be a women at anytime and entitled to access all spaces reserved for women.
Most people who are not trans-activists don't agree with most of the above for fairly obvious, practical reasons.
And this is essentially where Rowling is. And it is for that reason that she is called transphobic by people such as you.
I think most reasonable people want to be respectful to trans people and try and accommodate them and make them feel welcome in whatever way the can, right up to the point where doing that begins to look dangerous or silly. And at that point people start to look for compromises and there is much, much debate in courts and in online discussion and in the media about what those compromises should look like but really it's all a question of degree. The problem is, none of those compromises will satisfy those who believe that trans women are women because they all require some element of differing treatment.
I may not agree with everything Rowling says and I certainly have questions about some of the people she is happy to be associated with but I still see someone who trying to navigate this grey area of compromise. She doesn't want to exterminate trans people. She just wants to retain the rights women of her generation fought hard for, including the right to safe spaces away from male bodied people.
But because she is high profile and because she doesn't back down and say 'trans women are women' like other people do who don't really get what they are saying or who just don't care as long as they get a easy life, activists hate her and have a pathological need to have her brought low so that no-one else ever dares question them. And people just go along with it because it seems right-on.
For the record, I'm happy to say that trans women are women but they are not the same as afab women. And it's kinda ridiculous that anyone could think differently
