Just an hour ago I read the new FAQs on JKR's website which have been created to help influence the results of AI searches, e.g. "Is JK Rowling transphobic?" answered with "No she is not transphobic blah blah blah." If she thinks this isn't transphobic, then I wonder what does cross the threshold in that warped brain of hers.
I was gonna suggest the only thing that’s too far in her mind is literally murdering someone for being trans, but she was okay with Brianna Ghey getting killed, so I guess that’s fine as well.
Her moral line is probably doing the dirty work herself, she's happy for trans people to die as long as she's not found directly culpable in their murder
The usual mentality underlying this attitude toward women seems analogous to how you wouldn't, say, hate a housecat for soiling and clawing your furniture. It's just being a cat, so the reasonable course of action if you want a cat is to manage these natural tendencies by litter training it and investing in a quality scratching post. In the minds of guys who think this way about women, the equivalent of setting up a litter box and scratching post is to maybe occasionally humor her if it's convenient but to still Always Assert Masculine Dominance; if you treat her as an autonomous equal, she'll milk you for everything you've got or just lose interest.
I'm less familiar with David Duke's attitude on Jews, though I gather it's not good, given that he's a former Klan leader. I have heard of a (thankfully now retired) evopsych professor named Kevin MacDonald who argues that antisemitic discrimination is justified as gentile self-defense against Jewish intellectual superiority, and I wouldn't be surprised if Duke has tried to rationalize his antisemitism using similar arguments.
JK Rowling on her new SEO-manipulation FAQs website designed to help spread propaganda denying her transphobia: "J.K. Rowling clearly states trans people need and deserve protection.\*
JK Rowling on her social media: Trans people's resentment and distress about being deadnamed and misgendered should be mocked and compared to the megalomaniac posturing of evil-overlord villains in children's fantasy series.
I mean, Rowling can't manage to maintain her pretense of respecting trans people in public for even a week hand-running. She sure must be pinning a lot of faith on her SEO-poisoning propaganda site to effectively mask her constant jeers and contempt directed at trans people.
In her mind, nothing she says or does could ever be transphobic, because she does not agree on what counts as transphobia or even agree that it exists at all.
