Help - waded in to JKR row on fb

A friend on fb has posted something about Fantastic Beasts. One of his friends (who I don't know) has commented that 'The author is a bitch'.

I would really like to say something that stimulates people to think, rather than just blindly swallowing the 'she's a hateful transphobe' line. I also know that this is a particularly woke audience, so any replies need to be minimalist and carefully crafted.

So far I have replied 'why?' And got the predictable reply about her views on trans people. I have asked what specifically she has said. I'm now trying to step away from the conversation for a day or so in case I become enraged by the inevitable nonsense and say something I will regret!

Any tips on a) what to say and
b) how to not lose my shit?

I hate seeing a woman being abused online by another woman, just for standing up for women's rights. It's depressing.

Imagine if trans rights activists couldn't even explain their answers to "what is a woman?" "how can a sex match a gender?"

The irony is breathtaking, isn’t it…

Roaring thank you again for your replies. Yes, it's exactly like flat earthers being consulted on environmental policy!

When I referred to knowing my own opinion, I was referring to the other poster making a snide comment about needing to come on here to check what my opinion should be Hmm, not you , but it was a bit ambiguous I realise.

You make such excellent coherent, logical points, I am saving them for future reference. I shall certainly be using the phrase 'sex denialism'- that's exactly what it is.

Thanks for your good wishes, I stepped away from the internet and had some quality family time Xmas Smile
