When asked why the British author's views on trans people aligned with the Nazis, and Rowling said that Nazis did not persecute trans people.

The most famous forms of Holocaust denial and revisionism tend to focus on Jews, casting doubt, for example, on how many were exterminated in the camps. But denying the impact the Nazis had on the other groups they targeted, including queer and trans people, disabled people and Romani people, is still Holocaust denial. Maybe someone should tell J.K. Rowling.

    Good point that is also true and it’s the reason no leftist self-identifies as a liberal. However, my comment was in response to this statement:

    She’s not a conservative, she’s a liberal (in the political science sense of the word, not the USian synonym for leftist).

    My point (which you are supporting) is that leftist and liberal are not synonyms in the US except to people in the US who apply the term liberal wrongly.
