The Independent is as bad as the Daily Mail.
Rowling made some interesting points, there are certain aspects where people abuse the trans label. Just look at some of these new athletes. We literally have a 43 year old trans woman about to comptete in the olympics for weight lifting. Oldest person in the category, never made it to the olympics before the change but now she has that physical advantage she can take the spot of a woman who would have had to work hard to get where they are. All that does is make a woman feel her body isn't good enough to compete. The first transgender MMA fighter ended up fracturing her opponents skull.
I find the problem these days is no-one wants a discussion, they want confrontation. There are definitely issues that need addressing rather than just calling Rowling a 'petty bitch' for speaking out. We should be able to discuss these things without the name calling, its a controversial topic afterall, they're never easy to discuss.
If I was JK rowling and had all these stars try throwing me under the bus after making them relevant, id probably cut their screen time down too.
