J.K. Rowling’s antitrans obsession is so bad even Elon Musk is over it
"Many trans people were amused over the weekend when X owner Elon Musk suggested to author J.K. Rowling that she tweet about something other than trans people. “While I heartily agree with your points regarding sex/gender, may I suggest also interesting and positive content about other things?” Musk tweeted at Rowling on Saturday, prompting a massive swarm of virulent anti-trans responses.
Rowling isn’t the first person to turn their entire online presence into a factory for spreading their favorite vein of bigotry.
The confrontation, while humorous, highlights a common problem with online hate movements in the social media age. Rowling isn’t the first person to turn their entire online presence into a factory for spreading their favorite vein of bigotry. An even more egregious case is Irish writer Graham Linehan, who, after his outrageously provocative and hateful writings about trans people, now complains that his “gender critical activism” has cost him his family and career."
