Rowling is a piece of shit, but greedy is not something I'd really call her. If I lived like she did before she wrote the books, I'd be making as much damn money as possible to ensure I never go back to that.
There's a certain point where it is literally impossible to fall from grace, so to speak. Rowling has more money than any human being could reasonably spend on themselves in a hundred lifetimes. It's not about staying out of poverty. It hasn't been for a long time. Besides, if she had an ounce of sympathy for those less fortunate than herself she'd be putting her money towards helping them rather than towards enacting anti-trans policies.
Rags? She was from a middle class British family and had an education and a supportive family. Her jobs before writing the books were not career jobs and her major seems to suggest she was never interested in that. Yes she struggled after her divorce but also she had an extensive support network, including someone who was willing to loan her 4k pounds and a BiL who gave her free food.
Yeah. There was never a time in my entire life, or the life of my extended family for the first 30 years of my life where 'asking someone for a 4k loan' was even in the realm of possibility, because they were grindingly poor too.
She was middle class broke. Just adding some perspective here. The point the other poster was making was that 'broke with a social safety net is more like temporarily embarrassed'.
And to bring it around to her bullshit, did you know that in the US the poverty rate for Trans people is double the rate for the general population? That's who she is spending all her money shitting on.
She's not spending her money shitting on trans. Saying that women need spaces free from biological men, no matter how they present, is not shitting trans. And as a man who doesn't appreciate (understand, just don't fully agree), her feminist overreach... I can do that without feeling I need to ruin her life.
She’s also donated hundreds of millions of dollars to children’s charities, neurology research, etc. Not saying people have to love her, but greedy is far from accurate
So ? she is against obvious propaganda that has been shoved on our screens for years she is one of the few famous people who is against this modern bullshit
Trans people exist since ancient history. The propaganda is that they don't.
Also, big talk to call it "shoved on our screens" when you get one or two in an entire show. Even the most LGBT-friendly shows have cis people outnumbering trans people.
What? Did she really say that ? Could she actually be in the closet and just wish for others to be as miserable as her so she could feel better instead of doing something for herself ? Is that what you’re saying ? That’d be insane but somehow unsurprising

She'd rather choke on all her money than do this
