Renowned British actor, author and broadcaster Stephen Fry has labelled Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling a "lost cause" and stated that she has been "radicalised by TERFs" - the acronym that stands for "trans-exclusionary radical feminist"

she wasn't "radicalised by TERFs" she's the source of the contagion.

Come on, either you don't interact with TERFs a lot or you're just being dumb right now. She was clearly radicalized by TERFs over the last decade, parroting TERF takes and viewpoints years after they have originally been made. Calling her the source is giving her way more credit that she deserves

Yeah, TERFs have been around since Rowling was a child.

she's the main bullshit spout now, no one can blame anyone else but herself.

there were already red flags in her books. so she was already half way in
