Rowling and many of us are experiencing "compassion fatigue" (similar to "empathy fatigue") because of the increasingly vitriolic attacks on women who speak up for the sex-based rights of girls and women. She receives many threats that she will be raped and/or tortured and/or murdered if she keeps advocating for girls' and women's rights to single-sex spaces and pursuits like women's sports competitions. Of little to no concern to her, considering the continuing popularity of her books and movies based on them, are the threats to boycott those movies and books.
She now has to have 24/7 security guards wherever she goes, which was not the case prior to 2020, when she first started speaking up for girls' and women's sex-based rights. Members of her family have also received such threats and there have been attempts to assault Rowling that would have succeeded if she did not have security guards and police protection.
