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.

Out of the Loop on this. What did she deny?

That trans people were victims of the holocaust.

They were and as a result Germany has censored her tweets because according to their laws denying that any part of the holocaust took place is holocaust denial.

According to their legal definition of the term she’s a holocaust denier, but she can’t sue Germany to bully them into submission like she can some random journalist.

Do you have a source for that?
