In the news today I see that Alexander Armstrong and Ben Miller are the latest celebrities to sign a letter of solidarity with J K Rowling referring to the online hate directed against her. I certainly will never defend online hate in any form, which is why i am critical of JK Rowling and the people who are supporting her because many have a history of publishing anti trans comments and twisting the facts to support their version of the truth.

Today I want to look at some of the claims and counter claims and hopefully put them into perspective.
