Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This article is where I was getting the 2018 date from: https://theweek.com/feature/1020838/jk-rowlings-transphobia-controversy-a-complete-timeline
And since in that 2018 incident Rowling was trying to backpedal/downplay it, I assume before that she was keeping the mask firmly on.
I forgot that she published novels alluding to anti-trans tropes under a male penname! Sorry Joanne "Robert Galbraith" Rowling, facts don't care about your feelings.
The thread for collecting HPMoR sneers linked to this timeline, but it's paywalled now:
