I was told that story as a 20-something and remembering it has served me well over the years.

Transgender Activists Just Want to Live and Let Live, Right? J.K. Rowling Has Something to Say About That...
She recalled online harassment involving pictures of “enormous disgusting sex toys,” and repeated insults, referring to the journalist and mother as a c**t, hundreds of times over. Others have made thinly veiled threats of violence against her. A man who identifies as a woman who “has been convicted of hitting people in the head with a golf club” told her “he’s coming around here for a game of golf — clear intimidation.”
One website “discusses whether or not to disfigure my face with acid and disfigure my children’s faces with acid,” she recalled.
The harassment did not stop with her. “They’ve gone after my husband, they’ve gone after my children, they’ve tried to identify my children’s schools, they’ve published our address, my husband’s private mobile number,” Farrow said. “They’re probably targeting the kids’ schools as well. They tried to target my husband’s bishop.”
“My ex-partner — we broke up 13 years ago — they found out his identity, they were publishing his name, his photograph, his employer’s details,” she added. Her ex-husband asked her, “Why are these people after me because they don’t like my ex-wife?”
“There are people who are obsessively, obsessively hating on me,” Farrow said. “They spew hatred and abuse and vitriol, and if you dare to call them back out on it they threaten you with police and sue you.”

They will never go after someone who will truly fight back.
I dare them to try something like this with the Hells Angels, the mafia or even Hillary.

“You Are Next”: J.K.Rowling Receives Death Threat From Supporter Of Salman Rushdie’s Alleged Attacker
Rowling – who has previously been targeted by some trans activists for her beliefs on gender – had published a post expressing her horror at the attempt on Rushdie’s life, when one responder threatened her harm.
Rowling wrote on Friday night, “Horrifying news. Feeling very sick right now. Let him be ok.”
Meer Asif Aziz, described in his Twitter bio as ‘student, social activist, political activist and research activist’ responded, “Don’t worry you are next.”
Rowling today publicly asked Twitter to intervene, asking @TwitterSupport, “Any chance of some support?” but Aziz’s post currently remains in place. He had previously described the man arrested for Rushdie’s attack, Hadi Matar, as a “revolutionary Shia fighter.”
We did a post Monday on the background behind the “canceling” of “Harry Potter” creator J.K. Rowling for being a transphobe. There’s a new “Harry Potter” game coming out soon called “Hogwarts Legacy,” and we’ve learned that if you pre-order the game, you’re making a donation to “actively harm trans people.” A lot of people seem to be facing a real dilemma: do they buy the game or boycott it?
The truth is that a lot of people are going to be buying the game. Watching with scorn is Brianna Wu, who says “Hogwarts Legacy” isn’t a game — it’s a character test.

Only reason I have any Harry Potter is a couple of the books were among the ones I inherited from my dad.
The storytelling and setting are adequate to the task.
