JK Rowling has made another crack about the "Gender Taliban." What a group that argues for more expansive autonomy has in common with the Taliban is anyone's guess, but that's not really the point. It's not that deep. People call her a Nazi, and she figures turnabout is fair play. But the difference is that JK Rowling is a Nazi. That is an accurate and supportable characterisation of her words and actions. To give a few examples, she shares with the Nazis an assumption that her authority is derived from biology, she made a full-throated defence of the Nazis' persecution of Magnus Hirschfeld, and she has contributed to the erosion of legal structures set up specifically to prevent Nazis from happening. TERFs, like all fascists, are all rhetoric and no substance, so throwing out weird comparisons with the Taliban is as expected, but calling JK Rowling a Nazi is substantive.
