I thought this was a good article, but very much hanging it on the publicity that JKR's statement has got, but not really about trans, let alone women's rights.
But some of his comments about politicans now just trying appease the loudest voices, even when a small minority, but also (applies as much to the Tories) how lacking in any sort of integrity.
And this is what I believe is at stake in this election. All this twaddle about minor differences in tax policy is neither here nor there; the true test of Starmer is when he faces his first determined bandwagon. If he buckles, as he has so often done in opposition, it will be fatal not just to his administration but to the nation — for it will incite more bandwagons, and more. It is why those who are sympathetic to Labour politics and who despair of the Tories will feel Rowling’s fear. I know I do.
But this is where I also think is the flaw in this article. There is every reason to think minorities who aren't being heard should be listened to, whether about race or disability and others.
The real problem is how easily the politicians just line up with the loudest voices, which often aren't the true voices / representatives of which ever community, which means they dont have to address the actual issue at grass roots, but can just get photo ops.
The whole way the political and media class just accepted that Stonewall was THE voice to represent a whole unrelated coalition of diverse groups, just indicates how lazy politicians, are. They all now just seem to want to grab the headlines.
