Rowling wrote a piece in The Times aruging about the government being out of step with the British public on the policy of self-ID (article) and then tweeted it.
In a reply to this tweet, she was challenged by Kristi Miller, someone who claims to have developed policies to house MtFs in women's prisons. This person is also an "expert" on diversity and inclusion in sports! What a coincidence! Tweet
JK Rowling's response is just to call out this scrote as being proud for housing women with their male rapists. For some reason the "trust me I'm an expert™" didn't silence that bigot. long image warning
All this only to get a reducto-ad-Hitler deflection

The argument is that woman also commit sexual violence against women in prison, so have a few men raping in women's prison's isn't a big deal!. Says that women rape more women in women's prisons than men rape men in male prisons, therefore it's fine that we put males (remember that MtF's are disproportionally imprisoned for sex crimes in the first place) in female prisons. Also cites the Unscientific American which is just, lol, at this point.FUN FACT ~ You write fiction books. I developed the world first policy for trans inmates 25 years and it’s still world’s best practice.You don’t have a clue what you are talking about. I managed every female prison in NSW and trans women were the least threat to the safety of the prison. I have managed 5 Prisons and they are actually 1000 times easier to manage risk than it is in the greater community. Every prison has protection, strict protection, & one out segregation units, they have cameras, walls, bars, duress alarms. C_s women inmates rape other female inmates with bottles and hairbrushes and fists and fingers. One female inmate in Australia, fatally stabbed her fellow female cellmate 33 times. She needed leg irons, handcuffs, a spit hood &a posse of guards to move her.Female inmates are three and a half times more likely to sexually assault another female inmate than male inmates are in male prisons.Narratives such as
@jk_rowling
around issues such as trans people in prisons, takes a valid issue – the safety of inmates while incarcerated against abuse & sexual assault & target transindividuals (almost always trans women) & the ‘radical trans lobby’ as the perpetrators & enablers of this violence. In reality, prison administrators are responsible for the safety of prisoners, and trans activists do not have the level of ‘disproportionate power’ and ‘little accountability’ that
@jk_rowling
ascribes to them.It is true that a significant issue in the prison space is the presence of violent offenders who may assault other inmates. Narratives which cast (sis) female prisoners only as potential victims & male prisoners (incorrectly including trans women) as potential perpetrators simplify the dynamics of interpersonal violence to the detriment of all: this narrative ignores (or even tacitly condones) interpersonal violence within male prison spaces, where trans women are disproportionately at risk; it overlooks sexual violencein women’s prisons between sis-women prisoners; & it fails to hold the prison system accountable for building systems & environments which prioritise the safety of prisoners.Instead, trans women who have committed violent sexual offences are positioned by
@jk_rowling
as not only a threat based on their own actions, but as an innate threat from their entire group, and used as justification to deny all trans people the validity of their genders.to deny all trans people the validity of their genders.
