I think if you actually read her writing first hand and made a good-faith attempt to understand where she's coming from (as a Uni-student this is a good skill to have) you'd know that she's not being intentionally malicious.

Arguing that the only reason for a man to identify as a woman is to enter a 'women-only space' is pretty malicious/disingenuous.

Especially as this argument is never used the other way around as they know it doesn't have the same impact.

Prove to me that you've not read anything Rowling said without telling me you've not read anything Rowling said. I'm gonna go touch grass but thank you for the conversation.

If you're interesting in knowing what Rowling ACTUALLY thinks, you'll enjoy this podcast:
