Well this is repulsive.

A more complete and accurate transcript:

Whatever money JKR makes out of this, we know that she is now obsessively using that cash to demean and destroy the lives of the very few people – just the trans community, it’s not that many people – but the damage that can be done to them as someone who knows various people who have lost children, whose children have taken their own life, and the power behind it, I think, is something that is really worth thinking on.

It almost looks as if he wants to get sued for libel. That emphasized “know” is a dangerous claim when it comes to libel law.

    This is the guy whose views on trans were “problematic” even for the obsessively pro-trans BBC. He co-presented a popular science show for 16 years, yet seems to be unclear on basic biological facts.

    Has anybody matched up his claims of “as someone who knows various people who have lost children, whose children have taken their own life” with the suicides of real children? Because the younger the age, the less likely suicide is the cause of death. I guess he could be talking about ADULT children of people, but I want to see proof of those claimed suicides.

    The trans cult and trans cult boosters have lied so much for so many years that I doubt every claim they make now.

    Yes, in all fairness I think he’s using children in the sense of offspring as opposed to underage people. I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt on that one.

    JKR uses her money directly FOR the benefit of women and girls.

    To the extent her advocacy is “against” transgender people, it’s only to remind transgender identified MEN (and boys) that there’s no such thing as a “right” to lie about their sex. Where sex is the relevant classification criterion, the men and boys should stick to the things provided for their own sex, and leave the things set aside for women and girls alone. That’s not asking for anything difficult or extraordinary. It’s the way things were for about a hundred years before this madness began, maybe 10 to 15 years ago.

    It’s still like they’ve never read a single word JKR ever said on the subject:

    Dress however you please.

    Call yourself whatever you like.

    Sleep with any consenting adult who’ll have you.

    Live your best life in peace and security.

    But force women out of their jobs for stating that sex is real?

    These trans identified men and boys can be as “transgender” as they like, put on performative womanface as much as they like, and still abide by sex classifications: use the bathrooms for their own sex, play in the sports divisions for their sex, go to the prisons for their sex, and stay out of those things set aside for women and girls. That’s the only thing required of them: leave the women and girls alone.
