I'm honestly going to say neither.

Despite the hysteria, nothing she's written suggests to me that she hates trans people or wishes them ill. However she does very obviously misunderstand the issue and (I genuinely think unwittingly) plays into some transphobic tropes.

The hysteria over her latest book though, which is based entirely on hearsay from an article the Torygraph (of all places) and doesn't even feature a trans person, is absolutely ridiculous and yet another indictment of the ill-informed mob culture into which political discourse across the western world has descended. This pile on from the 'woke' Twitterati will, of course, likely do nothing else but boost her book sales anyway. So well done for that, I guess...
