- jolux 5y agoI think she misunderstood what the person was saying, which is understandable because at minimum it was poorly phrased and inflammatory, and Adichie already had a negative personal history with them. It's possible that the person intended to advocate violence against Adichie personally, I just find that interpretation less likely given the context ("the harm transphobes like Adichie & Rowling seek to perpetuate") and my experience with how these people talk.
