"You're engaging in Holocaust denial": Critics slam J.K. Rowling's latest anti-trans stance

IIRC Rowling started writing the HP books when she was poor, to the point that she took her baby to a cafe because they had heating there and wrote while the baby slept. Some people might take that as an instructive experience that many people need help at some point in their lives and to adopt a 'pay it forward' mindset in one way or another, and unfortunately it appears that other people take it as an instructive experience in the opposite direction, to give nothing back and try to cut off the lifelines of people who need it, the sort of people who have truly mooched and go on to complain about moochers, try to exclude as many people as possible from the "real people who deserve things" point of view, and maybe eventually become far-righters as their arrogance / entitlement grows.
