“This woman is complete scum. Shut the f**k up you transphobic f**k. You don’t know or love any trans people if you won’t even acknowledge their existence. Thanks for ruining the books of my childhood. Just stop talking. We know you’re a TERF. You don’t need to keep doing this,” @benjaminokeefe tweeted. “Word. Goodnight and shut up @jk_rowling,” Paulson replied. “The fact that one of the world’s wealthiest women logs onto twitter on a regular basis to whine about being ‘erased’ by trans people… girl get a f**king hobby. buy an island for you and your little transmisogynist friends and leave us all in peace. My god,” @tywrent posted. “Oh yes. YES YESSSSSSS,” Paulson replied.

During one of Rowling’s tweets, she wrote, “I’d march with you if you were discriminated against on the basis of being trans.” People obviously took issue with the “if,” and @franklinleonard replied with a gif of Anger from Inside Out to which Paulson replied, “I didn’t know there was a gif of the exact thing that happened to my brain when I read it.” Paulson also retweeted this thread from @iSmashFizzle: “Wow @jk_rowling, I see that you follow me, and that makes me feel bad, so I’m going to help you. Here are all the places I could think of where you can start donating your immense wealth like immediately.” You can check out all the tweets below:
