We lost nice people during the COVID waves instead of her. It isn't right. (lemmy.world)

I meant her concern about bathrooms. Realistically, having separate bathrooms for men and women at all is a weird cultural vestige. Being worried about assaults specifically in bathrooms is a product of Rowlings trauma.

But yes, similar deal with her comments about cis women and trans women having different life experiences. Trans women are women, but there are many different kinds of women, and it's perfectly fine to acknowledge differences.

that said, she did take that bait quick,

Yeah and that's unfortunate. I kind of get it, if you're being viciously attacked online unjustly, there's a desire to say "well fuck it, you lot suck but there's a different ideology who loves me". But you have to resist that comfortable feeling of finding an in-group. Sometimes you have to be okay just being hated by everyone, if the people on "your side" decide for whatever reason to ostracize you.

I kinda see all of the online JK drama as stemming from her change in attitude since the cis/trans women comments. But I did totally miss the context of the bathrooms, replying from the new comment roll - thanks for catching me up!
