    I don’t see anything about holocaust denial in your link. There’s a 2018 article discussing parallels between her work and the real holocaust but it doesn’t claim she’s a denier. I don’t really care for Rowling but I also don’t like misinformation. If there is some evidence can you please share it?

        Imagine being so blinded by bigotry that you think that transgender people, of all the fucking groups, were the one group that nazis were totally cool with.

        Thanks for the source although I think that’s quite specific. It seems mostly about her being ignorant and doubling down on her war against trans people rather than a blanket denial of the holocaust which the term “holocaust denier” conjures

        Your article frames it this way:

        While Rowling has not denied the Holocaust itself happened, she is accused of engaging in a form of Holocaust denial for questioning the persecution of trans people under the Nazi regime, a fact which has been well documented

        I’m not denying she’s a cunt but I think it’s important to be precise with these sorts of allegations.

          Would you say someone that says the holocaust did happen but only 1000 Jews were killed is not a holocaust denier?

            What I am saying is that based on this twitter spat I would not call her a holocaust denier. You are free to make your own judgment.
