    This entire article just feels like it’s written to say “oh, look at all these cis people who are harmed by this transphobia!”

    Well,

    what about the goddamn trans women being crushed underfoot by these regimes?

      And trans men, don’t forget about us!

      Real bloody fun to be arrested by police srripped and humiliated or run out by security guards or assaulted by patrons all while being treated like perverts for following idiot laws to the letter by peeing in the “correct” bathroom…

      I think that the point is “Rowling claims to want to protect cis women but even cis women would be harmed if she got her way, so nobody actually benefits”. Maybe it’s too charitable an interpretation but then again maybe not.

        It isn’t just an interpretation, everyone going to the women’s bathroom, in order to use it, would be harmed. If only by fear of the fact of this eventually happening ( if she would get her way ).

        She is so full of hate, she doesn’t even seem to think further than “hurt them”. What a stupid idea.

      I think it’s always worth pointing out that this hurts even the people who she argued she’s protecting.
