J.K. Rowling had to return civil rights award

[TaraJo]

She should've said from the start "I'm sorry, I fucked up", but she chose to double down on what she said and now it's too late for her to fix the damage.

Trans people aren't the enemy.

Actually, that's pretty much what she tried to do at first.  She'd apologize, claim she made a mistake and move on and people bought it.  But she kept doing those things and saying transphobic things, over and over again.  If you do something wrong once, that's a mistake.  If you keep doing it, it's intentional.
