Sup, fellow XCHWM here. My first thought was to agree and say something about how people’s right to exist and live the life that is normal to them doesn’t depend on anybody understanding or approving it. And assuming it’s peaceful and all that. You know, decent human stuff.

But then I reread your last line and got saddened by imagining the mental state of JKR. Imagine you are not just rich, but an adored famous artist, an American Dream success story, and doubly mega fucking rich to the point that you could just walk around giving random people life-changing amounts of money all day while funding other big amazing shit… and your mind is distracted by anger and fear towards the existence of other people you don’t even know. And now your famous name is attached to that awful attribute.

Completely agree with your broader points, and I know it's kinda nitpicky but

an American Dream success story

Dis lady hella British.

Irrelevant from the American perspective! People all over the world have access to the American dream!

/s for me. I capitalized it for extra snark. Totally not /s for others in this country though.
