TRAs hate Rowling 100% because she is a woman. The whole drama has nothing to do with the so called "transphobia" but it is entirely about women hating. Why is this society so retarded.

It's run by men, so.

They also hate her coz of the particular kind of woman she his: a highly successful, straight, white "cis" woman who is a mother and happily married to an accomplished man; who is now of a "certain age" (over 50, in or past menopause, meaning in the view of these young misogynists she's past her "sell by" date and should be binned) - yet for all that she is a self-made billionaire and one of the the UK's leading and most generous philanthropists.

They also hate her coz she is a woman who is smart, outspoken as well as extremely well-spoken, with a great command of language and a knack for timing, who has shown she is capable of subtle and incisive thought, and who has generally left-leaning politics.

Finally, they hate her coz of her looks. Its no coincidence that the middle-aged woman who evokes the most ire from these young misogynists happens to be naturally pretty, with delicate features and a very nice figure (especially for her age, in their view, coz she's still slender and shapely, instead of being "matronly" the way these young misogynists think "dried up old hags" should look). What's more, JKR "presents in" a pretty "gender conforming way" - she wears makeup and her abundant locks long, and sports conventionally "feminine" attire such as dresses and high heels. And looks damn good in them.

Rowling's enormous success and her looks really stick in the craw of these young misogynist losers living in their own mothers' basements gaming and fapping as they spin fetishistic fantasies in their heads about becoming female themselves. Rowling is everything they never can or will be.

Most of the guys going after Rowling are bound to be failures, or have already failed, in many or all spheres of life - and a large number of them are physically unattractive too, to put it mildly. In an ideal world, the looks of Rowling's most vitriolic detractors and abusers would be irrelevant, but in the real world we live in especially today, I think the appearance of these guys - and the fact that no one else wants to date, blow, fuck or even get near them - plays a huge role in their animus and rage.

Also, I've noticed that a disproportionate number of these young men seem to suffer from early-onset male pattern balding and noticeably receding hairlines. Hmm, wonder if there's a connection between that and being a venom-spewing misogynist MRA/TRA who wishes death on JKR?

Burn! But I agree with every word.
