    She mistook a woman for a man, it happens more often than you’d think. Yes, she should stay out of it, or at least did some minimum research on the woman first.

    Hopefully she apologized, and everyone actually involved moved on. Empathy is an important emotion, but like all emotions, it needs to be regulated. This 3rd party victimhood is unhealthy.

    As I said, I don’t agree with a lot of whats she’s said, but it’s not like she’s not calling for mass violence against a group of people unlike a certain Genius’ first few posts here. Reflect a bit, who the one acting like a Nazi here? GTFO.

      She didn’t. Imane had to make a criminal complaint to the French authorities for harassment. Rowling isn’t sorry.

      Rowling’s political views ARE relevant to UK laws which affect trans people’s lives. Labour sought a meeting with Rowling to discuss their new gender transition policy last year. Rowling demanded that Labour speak with various other groups she listed before she would meet with them, including the transphobic “LGB Alliance”. She is exerting political power on the government of the United Kingdom to pursue a transphobic agenda with real consequences.
