Perhaps she should be allowed to tweet for herself:
" 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?

Umm, she is supporting a woman who was terminated...how does that not make her kind? She can stand on one side or the other, and both sides have their argument as to why they are right, but just because she is not on the same side as you does not make her wrong.
I assume you are one of the political evangelists who starts arguments with people who vote differently than them?

JK Rowling is not a woman unless thinks she is. The new logic.
Maya's viewpoints are a bit confusing.
As I understand them:
- She believes that people have a right to identify with their gender of choice.
- But she doesn't believe that this self-identification should give these people the right to access areas and services reserved for the other sex.
Basically: Fine identify as you please, but you'll be treated as the gender corresponding to your sex, rather than the gender corresponding to your identity.
The woke will eat themselves, just like all movements or "revolutions".
Michael Jordan never took political stands, neither did Tiger. Michael said "Republicans buy sneakers too." and that should be a stance all celebrities take.
Back in the day, when the studio system was still in place, they were very very careful to invent and protect actors and actresses private lives. The idea is that they public will not buy tickets to see someone who's political views are counter to theirs, or whose views may be abhorrent, or to see an obvious homosexual play a straight role.
While a bit dated, there is some logic to it. If you are an actor and nobody knows your personal stuff, you are more of a blank slate and the public can buy into whatever role you are playing.

Dare I say it: but I hardly think that Michael Jordan and Eldrick Woods should be held up as the bar by which are celebrities are measured.
One was a gambling ego-maniac who sh*t away his basketball career chasing his daddy issues on a baseball field. Had he not, there would be no "Is Lebron better than Jordan" debates.
The other was a drug addicted sex addict.
If Dumbledore identifies as a woman should we humour him (or "her")?

Yikes. I love the Harry Potter franchise (books and movies). This surprises me coming from Rowling. She presents as such a kind, thoughtful person. I wouldn't think that referencing someone as their preferred/expressed gender would be such a hang up for her.
I find it odd that some people refuse to make reference to someone by that person's preferred gender. They aren't asking you to change your beliefs or your viewpoints, just one little term that is easy for you to change and can be very meaningful and empowering to that person.
Why would you not want to make someone else happy by doing something so easy?
Please say to your family , and out loud and in all seriousness ‘I renounce all others but the Prophet Mohammed, peace be to him’.
That would make me very happy. And is quite easy to do!

Mercy is not only pleasant speech and letting people go about their business without interference but a good faith cry of alarm.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TogunaFor my eyes and ears did see and hear and read the errors of my brethren of sport and Faith
They who falsely slandered the Jews (give me your Proofs if ye be true)
They who falsely gave deference to unworthies,
They who perceived not.
They who mentioned their chastity and mating stringencies while demonstrating time and time and time and time again, unfortunately, their lack of fruit in regards to social understanding, directly necessary for such works and sacrifices.
O ye who believe... if ye be accomplished in understanding and theology, affirm it and demonstrate it in complexity (So far they have not and seemingly cannot).
Issa was the United Knowledge, as were all the Prophets most High. Have ye hated genius?
O, even ye who "believe"!
Did the Sahaba think deeply and critically about things? Indeed, they did. Deep thought, reflection and critical thinking, indeed will hit the mark of occasionalism, indeed will cultivate Faith and inspiration.
Wherefore do they proclaim themselves believers yet undermine their own hard work and sacrifice, with disgraceful laziness in thinking, and missing the mark by inspiration as well?
What is the truth of creation and mankind's stewardship?
God hath marked all the sons of Adam for death, but the wayward ways of misguided "humans" have rendered death and destruction unto themselves much quicker.
They have forgotten the fountains, the foundations of joy and life-giving everywhere in creation and everywhere in the functions of human activities, disciplines, industries, professions...
Has your own social leadership, social desire and social action reflected a desire for a fellowship of the truly righteous, a Sahaba of our Time?
Have ye rejected the Thinking One, the Inspired One? He who brought Proofs and Sacrifices and Integrities and Sincerities, and Sincere Advice?
Yea, you long already rejected him, you and many others, laying up false charges to him, even thinking in your deluded hearts "AntiChrist" and "Dajjal" when in fact, the AntiChrists be many
of this Age, and the Dajjaleen be many, and the same people who have falsely blasphemously labeled the Living Messenger to be such, in fact, keep the company and do obedience to the misguided group networks of irresponsibility, ignorance and wickedness.
I know that which ye know not.
Let no nation on the face of the earth think it Above the others for false confidence and conceit are ubiquitous.
Belied they are by the errors of this Age which few have discerned. Do they know what the easy and notorious Tests and measurements of this time were? Can they name a single one? Do they fust in error and ignorance in them and with regard to them to this very second? Have they in fact been told already?
O Ye who believe! I give you news sincere and true, always, of mastery of All Joy and vigilance against all Evil and injustice and understanding and empathy with mankind that has fallen by the wayside.
The world in 2021 is absolutely bonkers. Changing the name of the made-up game "Quidditch" because of Rowling. Someday, people are going to look back at the world circa 2021 and just laugh their a$$es off.

Very few people would agree with your assessment of Woods and Jordan.
