When abortion bans came into effect in the USA, she remained completely silent, and only offered up a very short statement when directly asked about it. Before you say 'why would she need to say anything about US abortion issues?' She comments frequently on trans issues in the US. What she did say about abortion is immediately undercut by the fact she considers the likes of Caroline Farrow and Emma Nicholson as friends, among others. Caroline is a vehement opponent of both abortion rights and gay rights, Emma Nicholson previously only supported the idea of abortion if the child would be disabled or abortions in favour of eugenics. Outside of that criteria (which is ****ing insane, btw), she opposed the right of choice.
JK Rowling is such a big proponent of women that she considers Marilyn Manson a good friend, someone who has been accused for a fair few years at this point, of various sexual assaults against women.
The only time she comes out for women's rights is if it props up her hate of transpeople. Women's rights are not extreme, but there's a lot of extremists that are trying to hijack that cause to push their bigotry.
As for the Death Eater comparison. Transpeople aren't destroying people, they aren't trampling people, transpeople just want to exist without being ****ing hatecrimed, murderered and having their rights restricted. The GCs are the ones that want to stamp transpeople out, and then it'll be the other letters of the LGBT, and then their masters that pull their strings will turn on them too. You can't really look at the GCs and pretend that they aren't the death eaters in this comparison.
It's funny really, JK Rowling has said that Hermione was influenced by JK as a child, but the self insert character of HP isn't any of the three main characters, it's Dolores Umbridge.
