It generally agrees with my views of Rowling, but is there anything beyond that single tweet to further flesh it out?

She could easily back out of that statement by saying “the fever dream” she’s referring to is the assertion she backs Nazi gender theories / policy instead of that they don’t do that.

I’m more apt to believe she’d deny it, but … skeptics and all.

When others provided her with sources, she responded by linking to an anti-trans account calling the first transgender woman to undergo gender reassignment surgery in Germany to a "troubled male.” The thread in question also denied that transgender people were targeted by the Holocaust.

Come on, it's literally in the text
