Do they they not know that she had a death threat made against her? I suppose they think only threats against male authors are important.

Picture is from the latest issue.

I think they're making the opposite point than what you read it as

This! It wasn't JK that turned it into a trans issue!

You are really reaching to read that as a pop at JKR

I don’t think that is a pop at JKR.

I see it as a commentary of how absolutely everything is turned into a poor, marginalized trans people argument.

I agree I didn’t read it as having a go at JKR.
PE have published some very spot on GC stuff in the past so I wouldn’t expect them to rush to criticise JKR in this regard.

I doubt they are intending it as a dig at JKR - they are usually on her side.

No, they're making quite the opposite point. No pop at JKR.

ditalini · 24/08/2022 12:07

her perfectly reasonable statement.

It's not JKR who made it all about trans.

ditalini · 24/08/2022 12:07

I disagree - they're making a point about the row, not here perfectly reasonable statement that expressed shock at his attack and didn't mention trans.
