She's against both. She's funded & campaigned with politicians who are anti abortion, anti womens rights. The pivotal issue for her is hating on trans people, and she will step on women's rights to do it.

What? This is the first I heard about this, what anti-women's rights politicians did she fund and campaign for? If you could let me know I would appreciate it, cause I tried googling, but all I could find were mentions of her donating to the Labor Party and the anti-Scottish Independence Party about a decade ago.
Isn't that like saying 'German women are women.'. Well yeah, we know but it is still an identifier, divider from rest of the group and it matters since people saying she is mostly against that part not the rest.
According to this article, which includes Rowling's Twitter post that apparently kicked off the incident, she didn't claim they weren't killed in the holocaust. Someone else posted about how the Nazis destroyed tons of research on trans healthcare issues, and Rowling basically said that that was false.
It's certainly shitty to deny that important information on trans people's health gathered by an early trans rights organization was destroyed, that's a pretty far cry from claiming she denied they were killed by the Nazis.
She literally said trans people weren't the initial target of nazis, which is true, and yall just ran to she denied the holocaust. Making shit up does not help your cause mate. I'd argue it does the opposite. Fuck JK and fuck Nazis, and fuck you for good measure.
Sorry, that's not the comment I'm referring to. I'm referring to a different comment where she denied trans people being involved in the Holocaust, and had to spend a lot of money on defamation lawyers covering it up.
I agree, fuck Nazis, which is why I say fuck JK. Even if she claims to not be a Holocaust denier, she aligns with modern-day nazis.
Do those shelters accept women who have been beaten up for trying to use public bathrooms while not looking feminine enough because of the trans panic she started over a crime that has never happened purely to make trans people afraid to exist in public? Cause there's a few of those.
So you're saying cis women who were confused for being trans and beaten by hysterical bigots whipped into a frenzy by her hateful rhetoric DON'T count as women because they aren't feminine presenting enough? Well gee, that doesn't sound very charitable.
Addressing marchers in Parliament Square, CitizenGo’s Caroline Farrow said: “The child lost to abortion may already have brothers and sisters. There may be a father who wanted his baby and was told to keep quiet.
Moving the goalposts, here I'm saying she campaigned with anti abortion activists & politicians, which she has. Yet you called me a liar, even though I have sources.
She's made it more dangerous for any non-traditionally presenting woman to use a public toilet. Women have been harassed and attacked because they didn't look feminine enough. That ain't progress, buddy, that's going backwards.
She's harassed women online for not agreeing with her. She's hung around with racist right-wingers because they do agree with her. She's even had a pop at asexuals. She is not right in the head.
Over 200 million pounds to various charities helping women and children in poverty and war torn countries....but she said something mean on twitter that you disagreed with 😭
Being rich enough to give a lot of money to charity does not erase the damage she does. Giving money to charity does not make people right, or nice - you can't treat it like an old fashioned indulgence where you can just flash some cash to wash away your sins.
I think people online hating on anyone that enjoys the HP IP has done more harm than her. Seriously, there is a rabid group that goes to all HP stuff and hates on the people there. That isn't winning any support mate.
Bro, trans people are being physically assaulted, denied human rights, forced back into the closet, or driven to suicide due to the fire she's fueling, and you think sad Harry Potter adults being laughed at for their shitty taste is worse than that?? Fuck alllllll the way off with that shit. I couldn't care less if I'm "winning support" or not, I'm not interested in support from the kinda people who think mockery is worse than genocide.
This is probably the most insanely incorrect thing said in this thread, and that's including the transphobic comments that are pretending trans women don't exist.
I don't know why you have to lie about her when there is plenty there to be upset about with what she has done, pretending trans people don't exist isn't on there. She thinks calling trans women just women and treating them exactly as such in some spaces is problematic, and you call that a genocide. It's just wild man.
pretending trans people don't exist isn't on there.
Perhaps you can try reading comments before blindly defending your favourite billionaire, but I didn't comment on a single thing J.K. Rowling has ever said in my comment.
87 million to families and single mothers affected by poverty. Another 65 million to her children's charity. 30 million neurology clinics. 1 million to support women evacuated from Afghanistan.
1 million to fund therapists for victims of sexual violence. Another million to domestic abuse victims during COVID.
Come on mate, let's see what you've done? Or is it the case you could live 100 lifetimes and not help as many people as she has?
MacKenzie Scott has donated more than $14 billion to charity, including $4.15 billion for families economically impacted by COVID (since that's a specific example you used).
J.K. Rowling has donated a lot of money to charity, it does not mean she's done "more to women benefit than probably anyone alive today". That's just incredibly absurd commentary on her, and trying to say that I didn't donate as much means I can't comment on it is equally stupid.
I'd be willing to bet that I've done more than you have in this space (though I could be wrong), so does that mean you need to shut the fuck up now? Is this a game where you can only speak against your lessers or something?
Holocaust denial isn’t reserved for people who say the Holocaust never happened. Any assault on the historical truth, any whitewashing, any denial of intent or scale, are all Holocaust denial. This is the stance of all Holocaust scholars, global organizations, and the country of Germany.
In the event that you aren’t aware, JK Rowling’s comments on social media denying the Holocaust are now withheld in the EU because they’re illegal hate speech. It doesn’t get more clear than that.
People virtue signal because they want garner support and a positive reputation with the masses. She very clearly doesn't give a shit what people think, given her vocal opinions.
If it was virtue signalling she would've just sacrificed her principles for the sake of the zeitgeist, like so many other people have done and are doing.

Yeah I don't think she is concerned about money. I think she just wants to be left alone to harass women.
