Except that for all of her anti-trans stuff, she never advocated for killing trans people or anything of the sort. Or did I miss something?
EDIT: Holy shit, so many downvotes for an honest and open question? I fully realize that what she advocates for is harmful (which was what I alluded to in my original question), but there's still quite a difference between that and advocating for the murder of every trans person, jfc.
If you take healthcare away from trans people, suicide numbers go up. And she wants to take healthcare away from trans people and shove us back in the closet. She's chosen to attack kids, the most vulnerable of us. I believe she's already taken lives through her lobbying.
I might be wrong as I haven't looked too much into it in recent years, so maybe her rhetoric has changed, but isn't even that a little beyond what she actually has said? From what I recall, isn't her entire stance just that trans women are not the same as biological women?
Again, I could be wrong, I might be going off of outdated info, but has she ever actually argued that trans people shouldnt exist, or that they should be denied medical care? From what I've seen, it's all boiled down to not wanting trans women in sports or bathrooms. Which, yea, that's problematic, but that's not the same as saying they shouldn't exist or shouldn't have healthcare.
Here's a fun one: She accused cisgender women's Olympic gold medalist in boxing, Imane Khelif, of "being a man". Seemingly just because she's black.
Anyway, back on topic: https://www.yahoo.com/news/j-k-rowling-uses-harry-175223238.html?guccounter=1
Ok, but that article doesn't actually say anything different? She's donating to organizations that are pushing against legislation that say trans women are the same as biological women. They aren't saying trans people shouldn't exist or shouldn't have healthcare. Or am I missing something? Again, still shitty, and it doesn't change my opinion of her either way, but am I crazy to think that's not exactly the same as trans erasure?
Oh, I see the misunderstanding. Affirming a trans person's preferred gender is healthcare. It's a thing society does which improves their health. You know, like wheelchair ramps and flouride in water. Taking away legal recognition is taking away healthcare.
She's also praised and encouraged the Cass Review, which claimed medical treatment for trans teens isn't safe or effective, and is being used to excuse the new ban on puberty blockers.
shes harming through rhetoric and influence, and also funding anti-trans bills, and that leads to death or injury.
