I would agree it's not misogynistic to think JK Rowling is one of the most infamous transphobes, but that wasn't quite ContraPoints' argument. I am admittedly sharing the conclusion without providing her argument, and I'm actually in the hospital right now recovering from surgery so my head is a bit fuzzier than usual. If you watch those videos it should cover that territory though, in case you are interested. Either way I get what you mean about Rowling being so famous and influential in her transphobia, I tend to agree with you.

EDIT: it's the second video, the Witch Trials of JK Rowling that has the argument I'm talking about, the way that women bigots in particular are such popular targets of outrage. The first chapter of that video is entirely about Anita Bryant as an example.

I do enjoy ContraPoints. I saw one of those videos, I'll check out the other one. Cheers
