“Rowling, whose beliefs on transgender rights have recently seen scores of Harry Potter fans distance themselves from her [...]”

That’s an understatement. She’s effectively canceled for rest of her writing career for even thinking what she ended up writing.

Looking forward to the next chapter though - the best is yet to come.

No, she isn't. Her views on transgender rights, offensive as I and many others find them, are still comfortably mainstream. She lost a lot of Harry Potter fans, but a lot of fans have also chosen to divorce their love of her work from her politics, and many others simply couldn't care less. I seriously doubt publishers are going to refuse to publish her, bookstores to stock her, or studios to turn down piles of money from franchising her work. I seriously doubt that she's going to be wanting for fame, readership or money in the forseeable future.

Unfortunately, her concerns are still far from "mainstream". Most people have no idea that "detransitioning" is actually a thing for quite a few trans folks, or that "rapid onset" gender-dysphoric identity is a serious concern as relating to a minority of young people whose self-perception and orientation seems to be strongly influenced by their "progressive" social milieus.

Amazon Charts would seem to indicate otherwise.

You think she's cancelled her career, but want to see what she does next? It doesn't seem like you actually think she's been cancelled.
