Rowling doesn’t believe that trans people are people.
She mostly seems to believe in the Status Quo. Specifically the Status Quo of the mid to late 90s.
She seems to view any deviation from the status quo as evil, even attempts to make the world a better place, because she doesn’t want the world to be better, she wants it to remain the same.
She’s just as much an enemy of progress as the average conservative.
Mid to late 90’s was Tories, no gay marriage, and no immigrants. She’s a Terf. Everyone focuses on the Trans Exclusionary and ignores the Radical Feminist. Radical Feminism was not “status quo” of the 90’s
“I respect every trans person’s right to live any way that feels authentic and comfortable to them. I’d march with you if you were discriminated against on the basis of being trans. At the same time, my life has been shaped by being female. I do not believe it’s hateful to say so.”

She’s not horrible. But she could be better.
