“Who’ll have you” is a hateful putdown the author has used twice in the mouth of one of her most beloved characters and once in her own voice, the last cruelly directed at transgendered persons in the abstract.

Last December (2019), just before Christmas, I became aware of a
Tweet posted by J.K. Rowling, author of the Harry Potter series, and the brouhaha surrounding it, that has
now become famous:
“Dress however you please. Call
yourself whatever you like. Sleep with any consenting adult who’ll have you.
Live your best life in peace and security. But force women out of their jobs
for stating that sex is real?”
