J.K. Rowling is a world-renowned author, best known for her best-selling “Harry Potter” book series. In recent years, she has become well-known for her opposition to radical gender ideology, which has resulted in harsh criticism from left-wing activists. Despite the backlash, Rowling has made it clear that she is not afraid to speak her truth and will not be silenced.
If sex isn’t real, there’s no same-sex attraction. If sex isn’t real, the lived reality of women globally is erased. I know and love trans people, but erasing the concept of sex removes the ability of many to meaningfully discuss their lives. It isn’t hate to speak the truth.

Rowling recently appeared on a podcast called “The Witch Trials of J.K. Rowling” and discussed being targeted by left-wing activists. She stated that she never intended to upset anyone, but was not uncomfortable with getting off her pedestal. She also stated that she does not walk around her house thinking about her legacy, but rather cares about the living.

Recently, Rowling forced one of her detractors to issue a retraction after she threatened to sue him in the UK under British libel laws for calling her a Nazi. The critic later apologized for causing potential upset and removed the tweets.
