J.K. Rowling had to return civil rights award

[TaraJo]

At first, her statements, taken individually, could be easily taken as absent minded mistakes by someone who's never really had to consider trans people and who has little experience with twitter. And I could have forgiven them. But once is a mistake. Multiple times isn't a mistake, it's a pattern.

But ever since this year, it's like she's given up on trying to hide it and she's just going full on TERF.

I'll be the first to admit, a lot of trans people can be a little over zealous when complaining about TERF's. Hell, I've had someone call me a TERF, which I find hilarious. But there are legitimately trans-hating feminists out there and they can be scary. I mean, usually they leave trans people alone as long as the trans people leave them alone, but there are the extremes in their camps. They've been known to do things like publicly out trans people, not just to friends and family (who might not be accepting) but to out them to schools, landlords and employers; for people like me, who live in states with little to no legal trans protections, this can be VERY dangerous. They've sometimes aligned themselves with religious conservatives for the purpose of fighting against trans rights or trans protections; this is despite the fact that they have to be willing to stomach some pretty extreme fundamentalist misogyny.
