J K Rowling and the trans furore

Apologies if there is already a thread on this, but I couldn’t find one. For the past few days there’s been a row about JKR posting ‘anti-trans’ tweets; various actors from the Harry Potter films have appeared to disavow her views. I read her essay and I think she makes some good points. But beyond the issue itself, this ‘cancel culture’ seems to be getting more and more out of hand, stifling free speech with threats, harassment, and ruining people’s livelihoods.
