    It’s most probable that Rowling is actually trans, but refuses to accept it.

    I’ve heard this speculated extensively. It would certainly be ironic.

    But I’m more prone to believe she’s one more British Fascist, poisoned by money and a growing circle of reactionary hysterics.

    She has even said that she wished she was a boy

    A lot of that stems from British entrenched misogyny. Wanting the privileges of masculinity, as much as the actual biology.

      While the cultures are different, I don’t get it. Women in the US basically have a “just cause I lack a penis, doesn’t mean I am not equal” mentality. And women earned rights in the UK before the US. Just seems like the misogny would be less over there. Then again, racism was on the decline here, and now it’s like everyone has a golden ticket to be bigoted assholes, so…

        Rights are very different than status.

        Then again, racism was on the decline here

        That’s debatable.
