“Heated Rivalry” author Rachel Reid on J. K. Rowling - “the bar is pretty high in how evil you have to be,” “ I’m extremely the opposite of everything she believes”

Are you seriously disputing JKR's twitter feed doesn't contain her posting instances of trans related sexual violence?

If you don't understand the concept of lying by omission yet, I can't help you.

That 'evidence' was totally discredited at the time.

Criminality
"In response to questions 38 and 39 Prof Freedman referenced “a well-known Swedish study” to imply that patterns of criminality are the same amongst trans women as they are amongst cis (non-trans) men. In her response to Q40 she alleged there were “Swedish studies” (plural). Additionally, Prof Stock referred to “male patterns” when talking about criminal behaviour in her answer to Q26.
I understand the “Swedish study” to be a single 2011 article published by Cecilia Dhejne and colleagues[1], in which the authors reported on mortality, suicidality, psychiatric care and conviction rates among individuals who transitioned in Sweden between 1973 and 2003. This study is widely but inaccurately cited by anti-trans groups on social media as evidence that trans women retain “male patterns” of criminality, an error repeated by Profs Freedman and Stock.
Dhejne herself rejected this interpretation explicitly in an interview with Cristan Williams of TransAdvocate in November 2015[2]. I attach the full relevant extract in Appendix B. A key point she makes is the study is “certainly not saying that we found that trans women were a rape risk” to cis women. Additionally, the study was not focused on investigating criminal behaviour, was drawn from a small cohort in one country, and only indicated a statistically significant increased risk of conviction for trans people who ‘underwent sex reassignment before 1989’:[3] a time when fewer opportunities and resources were available to trans people in Sweden, which may have resulted in increased criminalisation in a similar manner to other stigmatised groups. The authors therefore conclude that the best outcomes occur when individuals also receive long-term health and social care support in addition to any hormone therapy or surgery that they might require."

Do you understand the concept of being able to prove what you state, the onus of which is on you.

Her twitter feed regularly highlights instances of trans related sex offences but conveniently leaves out that they are an exception to the norm.

Hmm. You're forgetting the Ministry of Justice figures which show that trans identified men commit sex offences at a much higher rate than the other men in the prison population. (The figures are likely to be an underestimate as some sex crimes committed by trans identifying men have been allocated as women's crimes).

The mentality that the focus is it’s JKR that’s the one in the wrong and not the trans identifying sex offender that she’s highlighting! Let me never be this sort of person.

That was written in 2020. Since then JKR has repeatedly emphasised isolated instances as if they were the norm.

Specific examples, please.

"Male violence' is a false equivalence to trans people. It's the same as saying because lesbians commit a higher rate of domestic violence than straight women, same sex relationships are a danger to women.

And you can't map groups neatly on to each other as you think. Younger, poorer, straight men offend at substantially higher rates than older wealthier gay men. In fact gay men offend at lower rates than gay women.

Muslims are simply an example of using isolated instances to broad brush the entire group.

JKR's actions here are no different to stereotyping muslims as terrorists because a minuscule number are. Weaponising isolated instances is a manipulative tactic where a rare, atypical, or singular event is highlighted and misrepresented as representative of a general trend, behaviour, or group characteristic. It's a common political strategy particularly used to influence public opinion, justify abusive behaviour, or create fear and stigma.
