Please stop being so melodramatic. JK Rowling isn't a threat to your community. Joe Rogan isn't a threat to mine. This tactic of trumping up the stakes of these minor differences is simply a way to justify the utterly disproportionate cruelty that sees people making death threats and advocating censorship.
I can't remember the last time I had a disagreement with a trans person online (it's strange how different these conversations are online vs in person) where they didn't start talking about their right to "exist". You are poisoning your own mind by insisting that a difference of opinion will make you cease to exist. Human beings can be reasoned with. And the overwhelming majority, Rowling and Rogan included, are not hateful. Seriously, for the sake of your own mental health, stop insisting to yourself that people hate you or are out to destroy you. It is a lie that only harms you.
Rowling, in a compassionate letter that almost nobody attacking her has read, expressed her concerns about self ID laws that she feels will make women less safe from men. Not from trans women, from men. There is evidence to support her concerns. You might disagree with her, that's totally fair, but to act as if she's a threat to the safety of trans people is ridiculous. She also very clearly expressed her concern and compassion for trans people and their right to safety (all you're doing is telling on yourself that you're among those who haven't read her letter. I'll even link it for you here).
Rogan made an ugly, racist joke nine years ago. He did so in a story where he was trying to tell a positive story about black people. He's made other mistakes over the years. I'm not interested in defending him. But to act as if he endangers the black community is ridiculous.
Poor trans people or people who have been kicked out of their apartments have nothing to do with Rowling. You know this. It doesn't matter if you type it in capital letters or not. There is a world of difference between standing up for yourself (which in Rowling's case would be simply explaining why you don't think her position on self ID is fair), and sending her death threats and torrents of abuse and lying about her without even taking the few minutes required to read what she said.
