"Rowling’s transphobia has come as a disappointment to many of her fans,
despite trans people repeatedly pointing it out. But it shouldn’t come
as a surprise to anyone familiar with the current state of British
mainstream feminism. Though an anti-trans strain of UK feminism has
always simmered under the surface, it’s really come to flourish over the
last several years, especially in the wake of proposed reforms to the
country’s Gender Recognition Act."
