I don’t see anything about holocaust denial in your link. There’s a 2018 article discussing parallels between her work and the real holocaust but it doesn’t claim she’s a denier. I don’t really care for Rowling but I also don’t like misinformation. If there is some evidence can you please share it?
Imagine being so blinded by bigotry that you think that transgender people, of all the fucking groups, were the one group that nazis were totally cool with.
I think she just doesn’t believe trans identity is a real thing and that it wasn’t yet “invented” in the 1930s.
Not knowing what the fuck they’re talking about is kind of a staple of transphobes.
Thanks for the source although I think that’s quite specific. It seems mostly about her being ignorant and doubling down on her war against trans people rather than a blanket denial of the holocaust which the term “holocaust denier” conjures
Your article frames it this way:
While Rowling has not denied the Holocaust itself happened, she is accused of engaging in a form of Holocaust denial for questioning the persecution of trans people under the Nazi regime, a fact which has been well documented
I’m not denying she’s a cunt but I think it’s important to be precise with these sorts of allegations.
I think that’s a pretty accurate assessment. I personally haven’t seen any evidence that she’s anti-Semitic and that is the center of Holocaust denialism. I don’t think her claims are driven by conspiracy theories. She just has a million Yes Men who encourage her anti-trans positions and it just feels right to her

She thinks that transgender people were not persecuted during the Holocaust.

In her defense for some reason there just aren’t many records of us in 1940s Germany /s
In case anyone’s unaware, that famous photo of nazis burning books, yeah those are records of trans people among other texts on queer sexology

It’s an interesting read.

Would you say someone that says the holocaust did happen but only 1000 Jews were killed is not a holocaust denier?
What I am saying is that based on this twitter spat I would not call her a holocaust denier. You are free to make your own judgment.
