In short, allowing trans people into bathrooms that match their gender won’t do any harm, but barring them might. Ignoring the fact that anybody can walk into any public bathroom as they please right this very second, the science has long since put this argument to bed studies show that trans-inclusive policies make no difference when it comes to bathroom safety, and other studies show that trans people are at a greater risk of violence than cis people. Among many other points, she argues that if trans women are allowed into female public restrooms, it would “open the door to any and all men who wish to come inside,” implying that will put cis women in danger. I don’t want to get too sidetracked with a discussion of whether Rowling is actually transphobic, but I know that a lot of people aren’t convinced, so let’s use an example from her essay. It’s a long story, but to summarize, it started when Rowling started to say some dicey things on Twitter a few years back, and reached its zenith in 2020 when she published a lengthy essay where she misgendered trans people, implied that they’re dangerous or confused, and generally peddled in fear-mongering stereotypes disproven with a glance at the research or just by talking to trans people about their experiences.
