There is a very good reason (many, in fact) why JK Rowling said what she said, and campaigns in the way she campaigns. There is absolutely no hate in what she said. She was 100% right to speak out. I agree. Honestly I’ve not been campaigning against transgender rights and have been focusing on other things in my life. However I wondered why people were so hateful against JK Rowling, so I read what she said.
She was balanced, non hateful, non discriminatory. She was putting forward her views eloquently and peacefully.
I ended up completely confused as to why people reacted. It was as if she had said terrible things. But she hadn’t.
I am always deeply, deeply suspicious of any point of view, or proposal, or promotion, that is not open to robust, respectful debate. That includes myself! If I can’t listen to an opposite point of view, there’s something wrong.
The sheer aggression and suppression is disturbing.
