Say, science as a whole made progress toward understanding that despite what seemingly should be a binary result when taking in account chromosomes and anatomy alone toward determining a gender, the reality is much more complex on a pure biological point of view which is, in fact, undeniable.
As a bonus from a place of good faith, I'll even link educational material made by biologists
By having the following understanding, I would then assume that by simply following JKR's output, one could form a frame of why her stance is problematic
She's been doing this for years, claimed being knowledgeable which doesn't mean she can't be wrong, always backpedal or have an excuse and seems to, again, tolerate trans women (while still not considering them as women) but not trans men
She's a terf. Nothing to be irked about, just how it is. She never made any good argument to begin with
No shit sherlock, you really think anyone thinks sex is truly binary? Everything is a spectrum in the end, but that doesn't change anything. We call green green, and humans humans. At some point, a Homo erectus gave birth to a Homo sapian, isn't that weird? No it isn't, because we all understand evolution is a spectrum, but we categorise to organize our world and our thoughts. Stating things are fluid doesn't help anything, you need to look at the practicality. And when you look at practicality, you understand that the smaller the minority, the less efficient it will be to make exceptions. Or shall we start writing in biology books that a human has 10 fingers, but put a footnote next to it that explains that in SOME situations a human might have 11, 12, 13, 14 or 15 fingers?
