I’m trying to be charitable. The alternative is that these people are spending a ton of their personal time and wealth on a problem that is not a major threat, which is a much worse look for them.

  Definitely sounds like she thinks this is a major threat.

Are they spending a ton of their time and wealth. Rowling has tweeted like 20 times in 5 years. It doesn’t seem like a big part of her life, just something she’s talked about. It’s like I comment about oatmeal raisin cookies. I like them and will engage in conversation every few months or so. But it’s not a ton of my life. I don’t wake up and go to bed thinking of cookies.

  Huh? I checked her account to see how many times she’s tweeted in the past day, but I got bored and stopped after 20. And every. Single. One. Is about trans stuff.

    No it's not. Latest tweet is a retweet about the assisted dying bill going through Parliament. Next is about women's rights to single-sex spaces in context of the recent Supreme Court ruling. Three tweets down is a retweet about an LGB conference. The tweet before that is about her taking legal action against libellous statements. A few more tweets down from that is something about a man who fought a polar bear off with a saucepan.

      I don’t see those. Given the intense pace at which she posts stuff, maybe I just didn’t go far enough. Women’s rights to single-sex spaces and LGB conferences are definitely about trans issues. I bet the libelous statements thing is too.
