This was before she wrote that ridiculous essay (did you read it?)
> So I want trans women to be safe. At the same time, I do not want to make natal girls and women less safe. When you throw open the doors of bathrooms and changing rooms to any man who believes or feels he’s a woman – and, as I’ve said, gender confirmation certificates may now be granted without any need for surgery or hormones – then you open the door to any and all men who wish to come inside. That is the simple truth.
Your proof is right there. She doesn’t want trans women in her bathroom because she believes it makes women less safe. Because she doesn’t believe trans women are real women, because they’re just men in dresses coming in to assault her.
It’s right there in her essay, and she tries her best (she is a good writer) to disguise it as sympathy for the vulnerability of trans people.
The completely stupid part of this argument is that nothing actually stops a man from entering a women’s bathroom. And nothing stops a woman from assaulting another woman in a bathroom.
In fact, there are plenty of unisex bathrooms and changing rooms in the world and nothing bad seems to happen en-masse.
It’s just TERF nonsense. And even if I’m totally wrong and it’s not, billionaire author JK Rowling doesn’t need to be defended. She lives a public life and if people don’t like her, that’s her problem. I’m sure she’s got plenty of friends to spend the summer with on her yacht.
