I have to admit, this is probably the cleverest attempt to own the TERFs that I've ever seen.

Except that it's not really an own. She's not out there presenting herself legally as Robert Galbraith in public, demanding people address her as Robert Galbraith, attempting to enter spaces and activities intended for men on the basis of being Robert Galbraith, and so on. There's no equivalence between an author using a pseudonym professionally and troons LARPing, regardless of how hard the TRAs try and make it so.
