No, the killer is a man who pretends to be a woman in order to kill women, it directly correlates to her transphobic views she’s been spewing, it’s almost like she’s done it cause she knew she had a book on the subject coming up she wanted to sell

So did Norman Bates, but nobody accused Alfred Hitchcock and Anthony Perkins of being transphobic. Stories are just that, stories.

Alfred Hitchcock hadn't said some questionable things about the trans community months before though.

I don’t know much about either of those people, did they wage public wars on the trans community to build a platform for those things to be sold?

Like women should be referred to as women rather than people who menstrate? Shocking

No because I don't engage in tribalistic hivemind nonsense. I don't agree with everything JK has had to say and I also don't think she's a transphobe - shocking, eh? It's almost as if you can hear two sides of a debate, see some truth in both and not start hating everyone who has opinions that don't align with your own even if you find them hurtful. Anyone else remember when that was a thing? Ahh nostalgia...

It's an absolutely flabbergasting level of hyperbole. She things that there are issues where trans rights, women's right and safeguarding rights collide (there are) and admittedly she has, in my opinion, unfortunately been drawn into "the battle" a little after having a lot of aggression heaped on for those opinions. Some of what she's had to say since it all started kicking off has come off as defensive and not well thought through.
I think in broad strokes though, she sees herself as being in a position to ensure that a spotlight remains on women's concerns around these issues and honestly I think anyone who doesn't have a personal stake in the game sees that that is reasonable. I have serious doubts about anyone who puts there fingers in their ears and chants "there ARE no concerns transphobe!". |

And it's OK if you want to claim it without bothering to provide examples or back it up as a reasonable claim. I wouldn't really expect anyone to listen though. You can't just say "X is true" and then when people say "in what way?" you respond "just is".
Well. Again, you can but it doesn't really have much substance, does it. |

Can I also point out that the original "psycho" actually DOES come off as a little transphobic (I think the series handled it better), as does "Silence Of The Lambs" (more than a little, let's face it... The guy is skinning women and wearing their skin because he has gender dysphoria)?
Did either legitimately have a profoundly negative impact on the trans community? That is an actual question by the way; maybe they did, I don't know for a fact that they didn't, but I have to say I haven't heard many people legitimately scared that actual transwomen are going to start Buffalo Billing women. |

I think dogmatically holding that ground at this point is going to untimately be counter-productive and the discussion is going to be had nonetheless, but with lacking representation on one side, who refuses to engage. That's just my opinion though of course. |

Does JKR's new story have merit, i guess that's the question. Judging on what she said previously, i don't get the big deal, it's outrage overload, as you said.

At the end of the day JK is a business woman, now that her new book is coming out, it patently obvious to me that she’s done everything she’s done and said over the past few months, to garner whatever interest she could to further her sales, it’s the same as Piers Morgan stoking they ‘woke culture war’ to promote his new book and Lawrence Fox turning into a right wing rent-a-gob to elevate a flagging career, it’s a shame she’s had to go down this route because she’s a decent writer.
