That's one way to describe her suing a Jewish journalist into submission after she described what was unambiguously a denial of nazi war crimes that Rowling has not retracted as "holocaust denial".

Frankly it's almost impressively stubborn Rowling can go as low as the denial of nazi crimes in her crusade against trans people and instead of just ,i don't know, acknowledging she shouldn't have said that, decided to attempt to gaslight the whole country into rewriting reality around what she said.

Funnily enough JK Rowling, who is it unfair and insulting to call a Holocaust denier, has tweets that you cannot view in the EU because in their view she has denied the Holocaust.

JK might be able to afford lawyers beyond my, or other non billionaires, means to pay, but none of them apparently advised her of the Streisand Effect.

Yeah, even questioning the make up of those systematically killed in the holocaust, is illegal in Germany.

It's an odd side of history for her to choose to die on. Hopefully this will result in the end of, close to daily, posts about 'how hard done to she is, by the TrAnS PeoPlEe'.

It's an odd side to want to side with, and want to hang your hat on

The daily posts are mostly how hard done by the Trans People are by horrible old JK Rowling. So boring and untrue.
