Dunno why Rowling has waded in to all this. Multi millionaire but decided she should use her wealth and fame to attack trans people online. Comes across as a very unhappy and bitter person.
Genuine question (and hopefully not igniting a touchy subject) as I’m really not that up to speed on her position in all this, but is she actually anti trans or pro (biological) woman?
The little I have seen seemed more towards protection of ‘woman’s’ spaces and excluding ‘pre op trans’ woman from woman’s toilets etc.
Does that make he a ‘TERF’ or what?
Seemed fairly innocuous to me but honestly haven’t read enough to have an informed opinion.
(I too don’t know why anyone with her wealth would put themselves in line to be sniped at)

If this is the case then she is total fool.

I think you could defo classify it as anti-trans. She has a massive platform and uses it fairly consistently to pulpit-bash on an issue she evidently knows very little about. Trans rights and trans issues have such an insignificant impact on the vast, vast majority of people's lives, so to see this already vulnerable community receive such a disproportionate amount of negative attention from grifters and politicians who have no dog in the hunt other than to distract from real problems or build their own online brand is disgraceful. In Rowling's case, I think she is a bored, rich old woman with too much time on her hands, she really does need to go back to writing wizard books ASAP

Heard she’s using the pseudonym Lieutenant Tubey for her next book.

Think this started innocuously enough then she seemed to enjoy the antagonism it started causing. Goes out her way to wade into an argument she knows little about and has no affect on her but knows will upset some people.

Things like writing about a serial killer who dresses as women or using the pseudonym Robert Galbraith after a psychiatrist famous for gay conversion therapy hint at darker undertones however.

As prev says, seems she’s a pretty bored rich person, looking for some relevance. For what it’s worth, think it’s a subject that is lacking any proper debate. Think trans activists can certainly be unreasonable and antagonistic as well.
 
So, is Le Tiss’s point that the government planned the lockdown around the weather forecast, or that they planned the pandemic around the weather forecast, or that they controlled the weather during the lockdown?

It’s a bit of a cliche to say this about people now, but the pandemic really did send him mental.
