You'd think by now news outlets like the Daily Mail Online would have learned to read the room when it comes to J.K. Rowling taking the trans-movement head-on. We're pretty sure she's not overly concerned about being shamed when it comes to calling men in women's spaces out.
Her response to the Daily Mail Online after they wrote an entire article about her 'cruelty' to the transgender football manager is already a classic.
It all started here:
JK Rowling is accused of cruelty as she mocks transgender football manager by comparing her to a 'straight, white, middle-aged bloke' https://t.co/1cCGfHidn4 pic.twitter.com/e2Z6k9Fuhm

She didn't mock him.
And as she further explains, she didn't compare him to a man.
He IS a man.
I didn’t compare him to one. He IS one. https://t.co/LUqXuSjktV

Boom.
So much boom.
How did we get to a point where speaking the truth is seen as wrong?

Good question.
Cowardice.

Good answer.
How can you tell?

Dude does NOT look like a lady.
Psychic powers. That and the fact he fathered three kids with his wife.

Fathering three kids seems like pretty solid proof to us ...
Bravo JKR. When did speaking truth become transphobia?

Believe what you want, but when you try to force others into a belief system not grounded in reality, expect pushback.
It's neither hate nor phobia. It's inevitable.
It's common seense.
It's reality.
