People need to try and fully understand the abusers targeting @jk_rowling do not actually think she's any of the ridiculous things they say. Nope. They are typical abusers throwing every possible insult at their target to ensure submission.
They don't for a second actually believe she's 'transphobic' or any other such nonsense. To anyone who has suffered 'domestic' abuse the pattern is as plain as day. The fusillade of insults, threats, accusations designed to destabilise the victim.
This followed by Gaslighting and DARVO, and then, if the victim has proven resilient to this, threats of violence increasing in severity. Threats to friends and family, or in this case supporters and fans, including children. Abusers do not care about
hurting or frightening children. They only see children as weapons or collateral damage. There's no point hoping if you 'appeal to the abuser's better nature' in regards to involving children in their tirades they'll stop, they won't because your words are
meaningless to them, literally. Once you open your eyes and see the pattern here, you'll understand that 'trans rights' are a red herring. These abusers don't give a monkey's toss about transpeople. They are merely the excuse, the disguise, they use
transpeople as a mask for their true agenda, the oppression and abuse of women and girls. Hence the excessive barrage of insults and threatening messages. Treat them as the abusers and bullies they are. Stand up up to them, or Block without response.
Don't engage in debate with them it makes things worse not better, because you're not on a level playing field and they will constantly move the goal posts. You cannot debate with abusers and unless you are a fully qualified Mental Health pro specialising in
treating abusive behaviours and violent individuals, you cannot change them with a few Tweets. All that will happen is that you will become their victim as you strive to reason with the unreasonable. They see your kindness as weakness and your compassion as
stupidity they can exploit. Women and girls are beaten, raped and murdered daily by abusive men like this. I'm not suggesting these Twitter abusers are doing that IRL but they have their foot on that ladder and their behaviour is incremental. Resist.
