Mid to late 90's was Tories, no gay marriage, and no immigrants. She's a Terf. Everyone focuses on the Trans Exclusionary and ignores the Radical Feminist. Radical Feminism was not "status quo" of the 90's
“I respect every trans person’s right to live any way that feels authentic and comfortable to them. I’d march with you if you were discriminated against on the basis of being trans. At the same time, my life has been shaped by being female. I do not believe it’s hateful to say so.”

She's not horrible. But she could be better.
Wrong
I don't see the radical feminism in any of her writings.
I see enforcement of the Status Quo.
Fuck, Harry's main goal in life is to be a cop.
Her entire message is as follows, there's nothing wrong with the system, just the wrong people are in charge.
Also, if you remember the culture of the mid to late 90s, it's exactly the sort of shit that Rowling is in love with. A sort of romanticized version of the 90s, just like most conservatives want a romanticized version of the 1950s.
