15. When the disagreement is on basic human rights that type of response is justified

JK Rowling has a history of hate and outright bigotry that gets worse and worse. There is no defending her any longer.

This time she attacked a CIS woman for being intersex is a shameful display:

She has attacked and intentionally misgendered a journalist for being trans and even used racist attacks against trans people:

Which itself was caused by her being a holocaust denialist when it comes to trans people:

She has compared trans activists to death eaters (villains from her books):

She even attacks trans people who said nothing about her for simply being trans. The trans woman’s crime? Being the first official soccer manager who was out as a trans woman:

Here she is cozying up to Matt Walsh to promote bigotry against trans women:

Here are some resources that go into depth on the hurtful and trans antagonistic statements she has made:

And here is a LONG (so feel free to skip if pressed for time) video deconstructing a pro-Rowling documentary defending her and explaining in painful detail all her bigotry against trans people to that date:




Ultimately I don’t support book burning but that type of feeling is justified.
