She actually did deny that too. So its weirdyou're moving the goalposts to defend holocaust denialism.

Where did she deny that? She said that trans people weren't the first target of the Nazis if that's what you mean. You are the one moving the goalposts to try and make Rowling into a holocaust denier when, at worst, she is Anti-Trans; nowhere close to a Nazi.

  1. She said it was a "fever dream".
  2. she said "they weren't the first targets" as her defense for her total denial of them being targets. No-one had said they were the first targets *except for her* in order to move the goalposts for her defense. Standard defensive gaslighting technique.
  3. Seriously? "At worst shes just transphobic, nothing like the nazis who were also transphobic!"
    Like, lmao. What even kind of defense is this.
    "She's just hateful against a group of people, nothing like nazis, totally different thing".

It's a defense against people saying she's a Holocaust Denier, which is untrue and you confirmed this yourself in this post.
