This is exactly what Kellie-Jay (Posie Parker) said in her interview with the guy who put up the billboard! People will get confused, look up her views, and hopefully peak. And (even better) some of the news outlets in Canada have included Rowling's own quotes about marching with trans people for their rights.

This finally puts TRA's between a rock and a hard place. If they keep doing this they will inevitably peak more and more people, which I'm sure they're aware of; if they don't keep doing this they are accepting "terrible violence and their right to exist" or whatever. Silence doesn't seem to be an option for them, yet they know the gigantic, gaping loopholes in their own ideology; and that if the normal folks start taking interest they'll be screwed.

Curious to see how they will go about this in the future. Maybe they'll invent a few more woke words to describe the horrible exclusion and mass deaths that occur whenever someone mentions JKR's name?

I don't think TRAs have a concept of peaking people. They just see it as more and more bigots coming out of the woodwork. That's quibbling over semantics, sure, but I don't think they see their actions as connected to the consequences.

It's the same with all sorts of woke bullshit. I'm going to smash up Chicago, Donald Trump wins a second term what how could he why is everyone so racist

more bigots coming out of the woodwork

You might be right. Nevertheless, they will eventually start seeing there are far more people opposing their nonsensical ideology than they may have originally thought. And these people may start speaking out as well, to their chagrin. I personally don't much care if TRA's think of me as a bigot or TERF or whatever - it's the end goal that matters.
