J.K. Rowling Goes On Rant About Trans Activists

J.K. Rowling is not happy about how trans activists have responded to her comments in recent memory. She is especially not happy about how they have gone about posting her personal details.

The Harry Potter author went on a multiple tweet address that detailed her beef with the trans community and those who support them. She remains unapologetic in her stance as well.

None of these women are protected in the way I am. They and their families have been put into a state of fear and distress for no other reason than that they refuse to uncritically accept that the socio-political concept of gender identity should replace that of sex.

We will have to see what happens next in this situation, but it doesn’t appear to be cooling down in the slightest. J.K Rowling has also lost some fans for the Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts franchises since those thoughts about the trans community were made public.
