Jake Albrecht: Yeah it sounds like, "I was being really weird about trans women and my straight male friend was dying waiting for me to talk about literally anything else."

Sorry wouldn’t normally put her on the timeline but this might be the most insane thing j k rowlings ever written

a trans girl friend send it to me and we were mutually of the exact same two thoughts 1 - this did not happen, this is "after I came back from vietnam" level shit 2 - if it DID happen, Rowling's social skills are so eroded she genuinely thinks she made a point being weird and uncomfortable

I don't know, the way she writes him reacting as deeply disturbed by *her behaviour*, makes me think it did.

Yeah it sounds like, "I was being really weird about trans women and my straight male friend was dying waiting for me to talk about literally anything else."

I mean, she went way past even being weird about trans women! "TELL ME ABOUT YOUR FRIENDS' SEXUAL HABITS!! WHY ARE YOU ACTING LIKE THIS IS A WEIRD THING TO ASK??!! IT IS VERY TELLING THAT YOU CLEARLY DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT SEX WITH ME!!!!"

Yeah it's basically a nightmare conversation. And then she blames the poor dude for being bummed out about it. "Oh I guess MEN can't handle me screaming at them about cross dressing for 45 minutes."

And then later they go on to say “everyone I talk to says this is a huge problem”. Yeah, because your weird obsession has driven everyone normal out of your life.
