The true irony is that both sides of this debate are dominated by upper middle class white people. Most of the non-binary and trans people I know are white. You could argue that relatively wealthy white feminists allowing trans women by self ID into women’s prison are doing “white feminism” because they will not know the fear of letting any man who asks for it into a women’s prison... most of the fear will come to women who are more disadvantaged such as poor women, disabled, racial minorities. But only when they disagree does it become “white feminism”

That's a very good point. Most of these issues hurt disadvantaged girls and women. Which is exactly why JKR is so focused on it, because these are the charities she supports and sees the potential problems first hand. Most of these advantaged people neither see nor care about how it affects 'lesser' people.

So incredibly true: trans demands activism is an elitist, primarily white, movement - rich white autogynephiles with rich white lib fems, allied to punch down on all other women.

And as you said, these mostly white elitists, especially the autogynephiles in charge, very deliberately use DARVO tactics to accuse the rest of us - poor, disabled, minority included - of "white feminism."
