There are many trans people who do not consider what JKR said transphobic at all, but many celebrities were quick to dog pile on this. Rose of Dawn, for example, who is a prominent trans voice, released a video analyzing the situation and stated that JKR is not transphobic.

That's a great link, I hadn't heard Rose had made a video about this.
Blaire White also did, and in it she also mentions a couple of trans men standing by Rowling. In case you or anyone is interested : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jyzZ3J6IG6s

Also, that's completely off topic, but can anyone tell me what is Rose's accent ? Irish ? I thought my English was "perfect" but I often have a very hard time understanding her. I can't seem to find info on Google.

I'm not British so my ears aren't as trained as someone from there, but to me Rose's accent sounds like she's originally from the north of England. Maybe from Yorkshire? Definitely doesn't sound Irish to me.

Yeah, I just looked it up and Yorkshire sounds about right. Thanks :)
