An interesting response to those threats against JK Rowling, from trans charity Mermaids:
Children's gender identity charity Mermaids has accused JK Rowling of being 'despicable' for revealing she has received rape and death threats for defending women's rights. They've condemned not those threats she received, but threats that trans people "will" receive as a result pic.twitter.com/qzSh4oaCIn

She's "dispicable" for making those threats known, because she's putting out the message that trans people send violent threats – which they do – and that might encourage people to be nasty to those poor beleaguered trans people. Even though the threats of violence are entirely one way.
The sense of victimhood is all-consuming.
