But I will say this, a movement can’t get along without a devil, and across the whole political spectrum there is a misogynistic tendency to choose a female devil, whether it’s Anita Bryant, Hillary Clinton, Marie Antoinette, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, or J.K. Rowling [or Taylor Swift]. And there’s always gonna be people who seize on any opportunity to be misogynistic. So I would advise trans people and our allies [or environmentalists] to keep in mind, that J.K. Rowling [Taylor Swift] is not the final boss of transphobia [anti-environmentalism]. She’s not our devil. The devil is the Republican Party, the Conservative Party.

i think she has done good pol-ed. i don’t know if she’s really done activism, though she does seem to construct her videos in a way designed to appeal to more than the choir.
i dunno. i just think shitting on her is wrong unless she’s done something… wrong.
the OP quote is the correct nuance, but also, we shouldn’t overlook rowling’s bullshit.
