So wait hold up. You are complaining about separating the context of transgender troops in Trumps tweet which JK strangely ignores while responding to the other points and yet in the same breath claiming the context of her liking a blatant transphobic post with slur and everything is...suddenly unsubstantiated and not subject to the same context??
Sorry, I honestly did not understand your post. Regardless, let me explain the point I'm making in this thread.
My initial post said three things: I understand people's cynicism (but
after reading some things in this thread, I don't think I'm as understanding as before), a like on Twitter is a poor way to determine someone's views on subject (especially when
accidents can and do happen) and Rowling has opposed anti-trans views before (like
the title of the link I shared in my first post mentions because in journalism context matters).
The issue I'm raising is that accidental likes are being seen as more important than actual vocal stances. The tweet by itself IS TRANSPHOBIC. (I might even add unnecessarily so, because there are ways to make that point without offending anyone.) But I do believe her when she said she liked it by accident. She follows a lot of Labour related accounts and the party is going through some gender related controversy (hopefully someone can explain it better as I'm not british), so that's how those tweets might have shown up for her. I understand those who don't because this has happened before (even though I find equally unnecessary some of the distortions and unsubstantiated accusations being made in this thread), but I've made my point clear before and I stand by my posts.
Again, sorry if I didn't address you point, I really didn't understand what you're trying to say.
