This is a shit take honestly and it's the exact reason people are calling her out. She has a large voice and a large reach, and she is reaching people like you who think these things which are completely nonsensical.

Lets just ban all of religion right now as well, because priests and the like are 500x more likely to be masquerading around as paedos, sex offenders and psychopaths

No one has mentioned banning anything. There is a very real problem with convicted people attempting to do this stuff, it's very prominent and in the news: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-63823420

Please stop knee-jerk reacting and thinking that everything is black and white.

So then what, in your opinion, is the endgame here with Trans people?

Once again, this is looking for a black and white answer. I don't have one for you. But, I do believe engaging with people, looking at the pros and the cons and not attacking/defending with zeal is the best goal.

Thing change. So do arguments.

That's great and all, but you are the one who made the statement. So, I'm asking you to defend that statement.

@allywilson @oneshibbyguy fuck off with this shit. JK Rowling has caused real, material harm to trans women in the UK and elsewhere.
