The president of the United States is a pretty open anti trans activist and has made deliberate efforts to use being anti trans as a way to whip up his base
I don’t think he’s as influential though. He has a wide-ranging influence over his base, but they already are full of hatred. She’s able to say the quiet parts quietly a lot better, and I think is more likely to radicalise new people to her cause.
I personally haven’t heard anyone go from being neutral to anti trans from jk Rowling bringing up a new perspective but instead have heard people from both the right and the left criticize her. Trump on the other hand radicalized the average bush era Republican into the MAGA cult we see today that is unafraid to openly show hate
I guess if you’re not up to date with the politics of the UK that it would seem like he had a much larger influence than her. We are talking about trans politics only here, don’t forget.
To put it in a different perspective, look at how many people that don’t agree with Trump’s politics that interact with his businesses, compared to the same for JK.
