It was a bit hit and miss with me. Informative in many places. But I also found the arguments a bit weak at times. 1a. Unless there’s context I’m unaware of, this hardly makes her less of a victim. 1b. Good on the judge. 1c. Nice to have. 2a. Okay. Prepared to hear more. 2b. I thought gender dysphoria was more prevalent in the young? 2c. I mean, trans rights don’t infringe on JKR’s rights, but yet it clearly affects her. 3a. What was the transphobic content in the response? 3b. Good to know. 4a. I don’t blame Burns for being fed up. 4b. Ok. 5a. Why shouldn’t she mention the cancelations? 5b. I don’t think anyone denies this. The debate was whether a transphobic or ostensibly transphobic tweet causes suicide, no? 5c. JKR does not do any of these things, right? 5d. But dying lesbians are not allowed to express their anger? 6a. Okay. 6b. Yet another “okay“ from me. 6ca. Okay. 6cb. Citation needed. 6d. Sounds reasonable. 6e. Huh. 7a. Not sure how this reflects upon her. 7b. This comes out a bit like preaching to the choir. Am I the only one who does not know what constitutes the transphobia here? 7c. What of the apparent social spread of gender dysphoria, then? What about people wanting to have the treatment reversed? 7d. Granted. 7e. Makes sense. 7f. Interesting. 7g. Source, nice. 7h. That’s great news. 7h2. Again, source, nice.

  > 4a. I don’t blame Burns for being fed up. Yikes. Would recommend any commenters to read 4a in the tweet, as this gets somewhat buried in the overly long list of non-rebuttals above. > 5d. But dying lesbians are not allowed to express their anger? 5d doesn't mention dying lesbians. Not sure what you're getting at here... Outside of 4a and 5d, most of your list seems to be agreement. ..

    > 5d doesn't mention dying lesbians. The tweeter had no problems excusing trans activists behaviour by mentioning them being "allowed to express their anger", while they did not offer the same generous interpretation to the person mentioned above, lesbian woman, dying from cancer.
