 1- JKR, a actual TERF, that tries to actually do damage to people. Cool, can ignore this one.
2- Got arrested for breaking a court order, nothing else. Can ignore that one too.
3- Contempt of court, again. Malicious refusal to abide by policy of her job.
4- The article itself is tremendously biased. If it is actually just true, this is bad. But I doubt it.
5- She literally won her claim. So what is the point? 
 You think it’s a good idea to let anyone who claims to be a woman into women’s spaces? 
 Unisex spaces have been a thing for ages...

That is not what makes it a problem.

Crimea are already crimes.
