kamari .ೃ࿐ okay, I clearly made a mistake voicing my opinion at all, and I apologize. I'm not the kind of person to get in an argument online, especially here, that's what Twitter is for, honestly. So, if someone else wants to continue arguing about something stupid, then fine. I only agree with one thing, that she was a transphobe, and that rubs me the wrong way, that's all, it's something I disagree with, and I'm glad she's making a podcast with her side of the story. Some people don't support her at all, I just think her views aren't the same as mine, and that's fine. Everyone's different.

So you apologized for saying that J.K. Rowling is a transphobe which you just admitted to be a stupid thing to say, only to repeat it again in the next sentence, and you end your statement by saying that we are all different which seems to imply that calling her transphobic without any explanation is fine, which btw it isn't, you could get sued by her for that. Your post didn't make any sense at all and I read it twice.
