J.K. Rowling had to return civil rights award
#21
RE: J.K. Rowling had to return civil rights award
I kind of think the LGBTQ community may be over-reacting to what she’s said on the topic. She doesn’t seem to be transphobic, but I think she may have a bit of a tin ear when it comes to this subject.

I once remarked that I wished black people had better jobs. I was excoriated for it, when what I meant was that black people should have the opportunity FOR better jobs.

I think the situation with Rowling may be similar.
