JK Rowling is a poster case of why it's a good idea to disassociate an author from their work (Harry Potter), followed by Anne McCaffrey (Dragonriders of Pern), Gene Roddenberry (Star Trek), and some more.
The saddest part, are the nonsense arguments her kind are using. I've participated in some trans communities, and the largest issue I've seen, is that some are breeding grounds for gaslighting narcissists. That would be a much more concerning point to address, than all the BS these people are spewing.
The 'gaslighting narcissists' point resonated with some trans friends' experiences. Trans people seem the most likely group to be victimised by bad actors who present as trans; especially younger people who face familial rejection. It's upsetting that TERF-y propagandising makes it so difficult to talk about actual issues within trans communities, since it's inevitably going to be trans people most hurt by them.
