Even the self-described feminists celebrating the Supreme Court’s attempt to banish trans people from womanhood will pay a heavy price.

      I honestly think she considers herself an “honorary man” at this point, no joke. That picture on the yacht with the cocktail & cigar were… well, she has written villains herself, I can’t understand she doesn’t see the parallels. The only explanation is that she does and that she embraces it 100%

      Also, as a man; we really don’t want her.

          really wild take here but I’ve had this pet theory of mine that Rowling actually would like to identify as a man (technically already did as Robert Galbraith) but because she is AFAB and has experienced a lot of misogynistic antagonation throughout the years - she can’t in good conscious do so as she feels she would be betraying women the world over.

          I feel this would explain why she experiences intense transphobia and why she sees transfemmes as “men in disguise” (trauma response from cis men) as well as dismissal of transmascs (if I had to suffer in a patriarchal world, so do you and you’re not allowed to opt out by “pretending” to be a man)

          could be totally off the mark but I feel it wouod explain a lot 🤷

      A) She’s rich so most the rights she erodes for the smallfolk won’t effect her and B) I’m sure she thinks that her rich peers will afford her “One of the good ones” status.
