fwiw, most of the people he's referencing in the Rowling fight identify as far left, not far right. And most/many of them are British, so the political spectrum is slightly different there. I don't even think the right gets involved in the TERF wars other than to occasionally pop in to say "trans bad" and then watch from the sidelines. I think he probably gives Rowling more credit than she deserves, but then I think she's chosen a really poorly thought out hill to die on.
