What it boils down to is that JKRs standpoint is that you can’t change biological sex, and that single sex rights (based on this biology) should be protected. GRAs think that Gender is more important than Biology, and that you should be able to function within the Gender you choose

Add in name calling, doxing, rape & murder threats … and that’s about it

Is this what's known as plopping? Just do some reading on the sex and gender threads.

Her feminism centres female people, and involves donating jaw-dropping sums of money to support female people.

Apparently this is offensive.

The Feminism 'sex and gender' board here has lots of discussion on this topic - if you browse a few threads it should put you in the picture.

Anyone telling you this needs to be ignored.

It isn’t complicated but people would like it to be so they can berate her
she stands for women’s rights so of course some people believe this makes her a bigot
