She has said multiple times she thinks all transgender women are rapists. Thats pretty bad.

Would you kindly provide us with any semblance of proof that JK Rowling has said multiple times that transgender women are rapists?

Literally last week. She's been doing this shit for years at this point.

You do understand that she’s talking about men who would use the guise of being trans to harm women and girls, right?

Buddy, would you kindly just take the L here? You asked for a shred of evidence, and a shred of evidence was provided.

Yeah that tweet doesn’t say what you claim it does.

But please, keep bending over backwards to convince yourself you’re in the right here.

You do understand that's an just an excuse people use to justify your transphobia, right? It's not a real reason

So you’re saying that it’s not a valid concern?

No, not really. There is no proof or evidence that men are now identifying as trans women to hurt women. That's not a thing. There is no right wing news outlet who wouldn't love to get ahold of some statistic of that sort. There's even an increase of gender neutral bathrooms but no increase in that kind of crime. People are just living their lives.

There is an increase in hate crimes towards trans women though, so that's a valid concern. Maybe we should protect them instead of saying, "but what about these people" that have no cause for concern.

I believe the real big issue with Rowling is her misunderstanding gender/sex via tweets she's made previously. There's also an issue with her using the lesbian/gay community as a touch point to defend what folks are calling transphobic commentary.

Her tweets are all available online via a quick Google search, then you can make up your own mind about whether what she's said warrants the responses she received.
