It's a shame. I used to read her blog daily, but the comment section was getting soooo woke and liberal-left that I stopped following it about a year or so ago.

When the commentariat started calling people out for 'kink-shaming', I knew it was time to move on.

It's a pity - I did learn a lot from her. However, I am not surprised that she takes the view that JKR is transphobic.

What bothers me is the amount of commentators on her site who congratulate themselves on being critical-thinking atheist feminists, but who are wholly unable to see the sexism and illogicality of trans ideology.

I've come to the conclusion that some of the younger atheists, especially the very vocal ones, are subconsciously in search of a new religion and gender woo-woo fits the bill for whatever inexplicable reason.

This is not a slam on atheists, just an observation.

I think it's just an example of people following the crowd.

Atheism is the default setting for a lot of people in the west these days (esp UK, but in a lot of coastal cities in the US now as well). Being an atheist when everyone else is also an atheist is not a sign of a freethinker.

Being a Christian when nobody else in your social circle is one is actually more indicative of freethinking.

I think you are right that for some young people trans ideology serves as a new religion. It also serves as the new Civil Rights movement (biological reality be damned).

Well, Joe Biden called transgender "rights" the civil rights struggle of our times, so who blames these kids, indoctrinated as they are with Queer Theory in the universities.

I think the new religion for many of the WOKE young is a combination of Queer Theory and Critical Race Theory - witness that many of the BLM marches in the US had huge % of young, non-blacks, and a Black Trans Lives Matter rally in NY drew 20,000 people.

I wish these young people could be bothered to volunteer for political candidates and vote. Now that would help change things. But so many don't. They want the pats on the back, but not to do the actual work.
