> a hefty implied message about the legitimacy of transgender women, one which is rightly considered offensive to most of modern society.
Based on Pew polling, most Americans agree with Rowling[0].
>Overall, roughly half of Americans (54%) say that whether someone is a man or a woman is determined by the sex they were assigned at birth, while 44% say someone can be a man or a woman even if that is different from the sex they were assigned at birth.
Any ideology that considers truth to be unacceptable is a menace. Feelings cannot matter more than facts. Anyone who tries to tell you different should be immediately and permanently suspect.
