And vice versa with terfs cozying up to sexists who would have all the transphobic women in the kitchen as slaves to patriarchy when they win. Guess hating us is enough to break people's brains forever.

    Hierarchies of oppression degrade all participants, and I think the cooperation of figures like Rowling and Walsh is only confusing from the correct perspective of believing that people deserve better than oppression

    We do deserve better, but both of those figures more or less share each other's views on "both" genders, just from a selfish perspective. Both of them believe that men and women each have an intrinsic nature and a proper "place" - and both can haughtily dismiss the other's statements based on gender whenever convenient. It's sort of like the complimentarian affirmations for members of Brave New World's different castes:

    Alpha children wear grey. They work much harder than we do, because they're so frightfully clever. I'm really awfully glad I'm a Beta, because I don't work so hard. And then we are much better than the Gammas and Deltas. Gammas are stupid. They all wear green, and Delta children wear khaki. Oh no, I don't want to play with Delta children. And Epsilons are still worse.
