What an ignominious end for a celebrated writer to bring herself to: J.K. Rowling now finds herself linked to Elon Musk — of all people! — as Imane Khelif sues Rowling and Musk for their “misogynistic, racist and sexist” cyberbullying of her.
It didn't have to come to this. Before her descent into astonishing anti-trans ranting, Rowling was much admired as a creative, successful writer.

Until she chose to open her mouth and spew forth vile anti-trans rhetoric, no one had a clue of the dreck that lives inside her, when it comes to issues of gender and sexual orientation.
No one knew that this seemingly brilliant, creative writer is joined at the hip to Elon Musk — of all people — when it comes to her thinking about these matters.
How the mighty have fallen. And the tragedy is, Rowling has engineered her own fall.
Musk has engineered his own fall, too. But supposedly sane, normal "liberal" people still participate in "X," and people still read/buy J.K. Rowling's books. Too many of us prop up them both.
@wdlindsy@toad.social@KathyLK Yes, I agree. I'd say Musk didn't have far to fall, though, whereas for Rowling the fall has been a steep one. She could have continued occupying a very respectable perch if she'd thought her thoughts but kept them to herself. The fact that she seems to feel compelled to vent such ugly counterfactual prejudice repeatedly is mystifying. Where does this come from, I wonder?
Good question. Maybe one of her own kids is trans? Musk disowned his own trans kid.
@KathyLK Yes, Musk has skin in the game with a trans child, which makes his attitudes all the more hateful and horrifying. I don't know what Rowling's personal investment in these issues might be, if any.
