The worst part about the entire thing is so called "progressive activists" like Emma Watson coming out just to trot out shallow phrases rather than actually join the discussion.

She wants to do what she holds herself up to be? Then add a meaningful article of your own to support the trans community, or to offer up some form of debate. Just coming out to basically say "Trans women are women" which adds nothing to the conversation other than repeating a phrase as a simple way of saying "FYI I'm not with JK Rowling so don't unfollow and attack me guys" is disingenuous and makes what she stands for laughable.

At least Daniel Radcliffe had the guts to actually write a bloody article (or at least put his name to one).

The same as all the celebs parroting the same "Black Lives Matter" "Act Now" slogans. Not actually doing much for the cause they claim to be so passionate about, simply doing it for the credit without putting the work in. JK Rowling at least stands by and has the charitable foundations to back up her support for many causes.

One of the responses to her tweet got it right "Your feminism is a joke!". From the articles I've read and the responses I've seen the trans community themselves don't even seem to agree with one another on whether what JK actually said was transphobic or not, the majority of the abuse I've seen posted at her on twitter is by white, cis people (all ironically telling her that as a white, cis, woman she shouldn't be allowed her voice which is nonsense). So for her to share a story of abuse and people like Emma Watson just to add to the pile-on and not actively add to the important discussion is really rather disgusting. Society can't change and move on unless people allow opposing thoughts and discussions.
