2. She, like those who say #IStandWithJKRowling, reference 1950's science in their argument, while ignoring 70 years of deeper investigation that has discovered many of the realities of gender vs body sex characteristics. 2/
3. Nothing in her rhetoric, or that of the #IStandWithJKRowling crowd who claim not to be transphobic, ever once seeks to open a dialogue focused on solutions. Instead it's always focused on telling others what they can and can't do with their own bodies. 3/
4. Note that she and her #IStandWithJKRowling cavalade focus exclusively on trans women, rarely ever even acknowledging the existence of trans men.
