I didn't read all of the tweets but I read her manifesto, and I think the specific things that people would find most objectionable are the emphasis she places on the significance of being a "natal woman" and the sense that she means "more real woman", and the fact that most of her arguments outside of that are extremely common anti-trans arguments which trans activitists generally consider to be pretty shoddy and which are promulgated by people who are deeply transphobic and used to justify anti-trans policies. I believe that I've also seen some people criticize her for conflating being trans with mental illness, particularly around autism, but I'm not sure where that came from exactly myself.

On her blog post, she brought up that autism is much more common in trans people than the general population, particularly with young trans guys. This is actually true, but why this is hotly debated. I’ve heard everything from autism makes people care care less about social norms to environmental pollution.

I mean, she also applauded a woman who called all trans women "men who get sexual kicks from being treated like women." Called her brave, even.

I hate when autism and mental health come up in these conversations, but the hundreds of comments saying that JKR's comments are literally causing people to attempt suicide is not healthy at all.
