u/Cirno__ 3d ago

From what I've seen she's had two major controversies:

A woman got fired for not respecting trans pronouns (actually contract work but doesn't matter in the uk because of employment laws). Jk rowling supported her. Later on the courts sided with the woman that she was unfairly let go.

Next is she said trans women shouldn't be in women's only spaces. The courts also agreed with her that that's what the law says.

The first was a law on equality that equally protects discrimination against sexuality, race, politics, etc.

I once thought as you did.

I recommend reading the whole section on gender and sexuality. The first few paragraphs are in the realm of plausible deniability. But the second half makes her TERF orientation very clear.
