Disambiguating JK Rowling's Position on Transexual Rights

I had to check myself, read her 2020 statement, and refresh myself a little on Wikipedia while engaging in a comments thread. Here's what I got ... in a few minutes ( erring on the side of brevity ).

Categories used in discussion :

1. sexual genotypes

2. sexual phenotypes

3. sexual category

4. sexual* gender

Roughly where JKR gets off** the safety of polity is :

- JKR wants public toilets to be distinguished based on male/female sex categories, and she wants a rigid binding between { sexual genotypes, sexual phenotypes, and sexual category }; no need to mention sexual gender here

- the plaintiffs want public toilets to be distinguished based on male/female gender, alternatively they are ok if the distinction is by male/female sex category, ONLY IF there is a loose binding between { sexual genotypes, sexual phenotypes, and sexual category }

So that's all there is, pick a side or engage in mediation 🙃

Footnotes :

* Had to qualify sexual gender, as sexual, because now gender is used for asexual genders and non-sexual categories of self-identification too ...

** It is regretable, albeit understandable, that JKR's personal trauma creates for her a difficulty in engaging with mediation, hence she is known for having picked a side in this linguistic debate
