Lemmy unreasonably hates her because she’s a successful woman that won’t nicely shut up and know her place. Misogyny runs deep here. Nobody will provide you with justification for the hyperbole in the OP because it doesn’t exist.
People are quite clear in their criticism of her based on the things she says she does. You’re trying to shift the conversation to something unrelated.
If criticisms of Rowling’s Transphobia are invalid they should be easy to dispute instead of trying to build an ad hominim Strawman.
They’re not clear at all. They’re histrionics. People don’t bother reading what she wrote. They read someone’s shit take worst possible interpretation of what she wrote
Then once again: that should be very easy to discredit. The fact that you have invented a strawman instead of addressing the criticisms actually being presented speaks volumes.
I’m looking forward to any reply you get because I honestly can’t understand the online hatred of her, apart from people making themselves feel good by believing they’re fighting the good fight or whatever.
Jkr is hated for the following;
Views on Sex and Gender: Rowling argues that “sex is real” and determines the lived reality of women, arguing that disregarding biological sex harms women’s rights.
“People who menstruate” Comment: In 2020, she criticized the phrase “people who menstruate,” which many deemed anti-trans, leading to criticism from LGBTQ groups.
Single-Sex Spaces: She has expressed concerns about transgender women accessing women-only spaces, such as bathrooms and changing rooms, citing her own experiences with sexual assault.
Legislative Opposition: Rowling has actively opposed reforms to gender recognition laws in Scotland, notes this BBC article.
Apparently because she dared to state her opinion, and even worse to support her own opinion that makes her evil incarnate.
Because views you don’t believe in are innately evil I guess, I don’t know because I’ve never heard a good reason why she shouldn’t be able to hold these views if she wants, or to spend her money how she wants.
Btw, she has donated over $250 million to various causes, primarily focusing on children’s welfare, Multiple Sclerosis research, and women’s rights.
bigoted
/ˈbɪɡətɪd/
Bigoted describes holding strong, unreasonable prejudices, often showing intolerance toward different opinions, races, religions, or lifestyles.
While I see that trans people see her views as an attack on them, of course she seems to believe that there is an attack on women’s rights.
Also I’m not sure you could really see her views as unreasonable, prejudicial, or intolerant.
She seems to have only advocated for women’s rights, and changes that she sees as damaging to those rights.
Could you point me towards something negative she’s said about trans people themselves? As most of the hate seems to be reflexive, by that I mean that when she supports women’s rights that is seen as an attack on trans people, I am struggling to see that as her intent thought?

What criticisms do you have that aren’t histrionics?

Truly evil…
“sure, she has said all these bigoted things, I don’t see the problem with it.”
Then I can’t help you.
Who asked for help?
Anyway;
bigoted /ˈbɪɡətɪd/ Bigoted describes holding strong, unreasonable prejudices, often showing intolerance toward different opinions, races, religions, or lifestyles.

She has been outspoken against anti-hate speech laws that would protect trans people.
Can you please explain how a reasonable person interprets the phrase “people who menstruate” as an attack on women?
