You know, I used to think some radfems were exaggerating that some people are extra hateful because we're women. I was thinking, "nah, it's because of our views, TRAs would be just as mad if we're male." But now I'm starting to think it's actually true.

Imagine if JKR was a male author...I can't see this level of backlash happening. I feel like people would get over it much more easily.

Mario Lopez (guy from Saved by the Bell) got some hate for saying you shouldn't trans kids but it blew over in like a week (he caved and apologized). John Cleese gets no hate besides some angry TRAs on twitter. Joe Rogan... well, angry TRAs are trying to get his trans episodes banned on spotify but he himself is not getting backlash in the news the way Rowling is despite having the same positions and views as her. Dave Chappelle... crickets (although in his last comedy special he said he was semi-retiring due to all the people quietly trying to cancel him).

edit: Here are Mario Lopez's comments. I'm sharing because it's nice to hear sanity from celebrities every once in a while.

Joe Rogan also just recently spoke out about Spotify's employees' attempt to cancel his Abigail Shrier/ trans kids episode, and sort of compared the transing of children to a cult.

I posted a link to Rogan's remarks (he does go out on a limb a bit) so if you're interested please scroll down.
