    I always thought the explanation is simply that jkr is a rape survivor, and has been traumatized in such a way that she is incapable of seeing trans women as anything other than men trying to invade women’s spaces to abuse them.

    It’s an unfortunate trauma response, she is wrong and this way of thinking is vile, but I’m pretty sure that’s the core of her issue and why she refuses to see trans people as people. I’m far too lazy to find any sources to back this up, I’m just pretty sure it’s what I heard in the past, and could easily be wrong.

      There is no excuse for bigotry. She could afford all the treatment in the world for “ptsd,” whether real or imagined. Zero sympathy

        I’m not suggesting anyone should be sympathetic about it or trying to excuse it. I just think it’s worth trying to understand why people think the way they do.
