Why do some people view JK Rowling as transphobic?

Where do people get the idea that JK Rowling is transphobic from? Where? I’m having this argument with an acquaintance who tells me she’s the most transphobic person on earth but cannot point to one single thing that she’s done or said that’s transphobic. Is this the widest held totally bullshit view ever?

Nice try but this thread is about JKR's transphobia. As I said you're welcome to use google & if you can't cope with that start another thread on prison data because I'm not going to allow you use quibbling about data to distract from the inconsistency in your position which you are obviously sea lioning your little heart out to run away from.

As usual, if you mention it and use it in an argument, it is up to you to provide that data.

So, I think we can safely say the data doesn’t exist in a form that shows details on other vulnerable male prisoners as well as those male prisoners with transgender identities. Making your claim unsubstantiated … or is that lacking in ‘substance’?

Appreciate your honesty which incidentally is a feature not a bug of the New Right where they will only be too happy to shout from the roof tops that they will do everything fair & unfair to get their way including claiming immigrants eat cats & dogs when they know they don't. See JD Vance.

Problem is, the 'normies' as in the silent majority rightly don't care for such unprincipled tactics because they know that they could be next.

So knock yourself out.

what the heck are you even talking about??? lmao. i mean, you should be sad that the only the right knows the difference between men and women and the left is tossing women to the wolves. i'm sure this issue got trump elected because sane people are like wtf are you doing. you are bringing in completely unrelated things to this topic tho, like dude. i'm talking about getting violent men out of women's prisons you are talking about immigrants and cats and dogs. i am also not at all right leaning or american.

you people literally call it transphobia to call a violent man a man. like is Andrew Balcer a man or a woman to you?

Quibbling about data” - translation: “I haven’t got any”.

Start the thread & we will find out.

The data shows trans women are substantially more likely to be abused than the cis population in prisons.

So? Have a trans wing within the men's prison.

Anyone who thinks that any male should be locked up with women who can't get away from him is either thick or sick.

It did contribute to Trump being elected, yes. His “Kamala is for they/them” masterstroke of an ad mocking the Democrats beclowning themselves apparently cut through significantly in the swing states.

This thread is about JKR's transphobia AND you aren't going to escape from being exposed that easy.

Now don't be shy start the thread. Don't worry I'm sure I won't be able to prove natal males who look like females would never be at risk in a mens prison.

Do you even listen to yourselves? Its embarrassing levels of cope.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 16/08/2026 03:55

I’m not going to start your thread for you 😂 you can do your lame taunting as much as you want. No one takes you remotely seriously.

Do they need a completely segregated wing? Why not include them in the other vulnerable male prisoner section?

However, if they wish to campaign for their own segregated section in the male prison, they should absolutely feel free to do so.

to be clear, you have an issue about dudes who look like women in the men's prison, but not literal men in the women's prison?

Ereshkigalangcleg · 16/08/2026 03:57

Yes, I think that’s a perfectly fair solution @Helleofabore

That you can't parse a nuanced position is on you.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 16/08/2026 03:59

Also, hardly any of them actually “look like females” in anything more than a male gaze version of clothes, makeup and hairstyle. They are very obviously men physically in every way.

the way this user keeps talking about "transphobia" like it's some serious accusation is pretty funny... like JKR is all about women's rights, if that is transphobia, so be it. just keep abusing the word transphobia over insane things until it has no power left.

gosh, I am so stupid, please, explain to me oh mighty one. the nuance. rain it down on me, may i be so blessed to be enlightened by someone such as yourself.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 16/08/2026 04:01

I think that’s why no one can define what is actually transphobic in what she says without referring to some fuckwit’s bad faith thinkpiece or YouTube video about it.

And they really really can’t. It’s quite the phenomenon.

Yep more cope.

Well Eresh. At least it was a new opinion piece. We got spoiled this time and not just the same links as before.

The arguments were the same recycled superficial arguments though. It says a lot about the posters who find the article convincing when they then cannot write a coherent defence of the article they posted. It is clear though how the writer and those finding the article convincing seem to wish to ignore, destabilise or worse, dismantle, safeguarding principles though.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 16/08/2026 04:08

The biggest amount of cope ever is trans rights activists’ tragic campaigns on Mumsnet. I’m sure we can all agree.

dinodart · 16/08/2026 04:09

I'm sorry to let you know, that there are men that get off on other men who dress as women... and it has nothing to do with them truly looking like women, it's just a fetish. :x
