    Thanks for the source although I think that’s quite specific. It seems mostly about her being ignorant and doubling down on her war against trans people rather than a blanket denial of the holocaust which the term “holocaust denier” conjures

    Your article frames it this way:

    While Rowling has not denied the Holocaust itself happened, she is accused of engaging in a form of Holocaust denial for questioning the persecution of trans people under the Nazi regime, a fact which has been well documented

    I’m not denying she’s a cunt but I think it’s important to be precise with these sorts of allegations.

      Would you say someone that says the holocaust did happen but only 1000 Jews were killed is not a holocaust denier?

        What I am saying is that based on this twitter spat I would not call her a holocaust denier. You are free to make your own judgment.
