Have you actually listened to the podcast?

It's really a very good exploration of the issues with plenty of context. Phelps gives both Rowling and her detractors the space to put their point of view across.

If you haven't already, it's well worth listening to, much more so than Wynn's one-sided commentary on anything.

That Glamour article is a decent summary of Rowling's essay and tweets that got some of these activists riled up, but it rather downplays the levels of vitriol and abuse Rowling has been targeted with in response to her very reasonable concerns about the impacts on women's rights. Much of it being death and rape threats from angry males, which I believe rather proves her point about the need for separate female-only spaces.
