J.K. Rowling slammed for defending concept of biological sex: 'It isn't hate to speak the truth'

"Harry Potter" author J.K. Rowling faced another backlash Saturday after issuing a cheeky tweet on sex and gender that opened up a new chapter in her ongoing feud with LGBT advocates.

"If sex isn’t real, there’s no same-sex attraction," Rowling tweeted to her 14.5 million followers. "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 tweeted those comments around 6 p.m. ET. Within an hour, she was trending on Twitter and received thousands of responses.

In another tweet, the U.K.-based author criticized a prominent idea among the left -- that people can menstruate if they're not women. "‘People who menstruate,’" she tweeted, linking to an op-ed with that phrasing. "I’m sure there used to be a word for those people. Someone help me out. Wumben? Wimpund? Woomud?" she asked sarcastically.

Yes it is JK... haven’t you been paying attention?

But then you’re guilty of the same attacks and cancelling people you disagreed with and were lauded and applauded for it - but now they’re attacking your ideals and suddenly you can’t figure out why no one understands objective reason?

They’re YOUR muggles you created!

The trannies were attacking her months ago, here we go again. She’s wuhan guano crazy if she doesn’t understand how violent these people are.

Yup, stating the obvious - that a man who wants to be a woman or visa versa - has some mental problems, is verboten.

Truth is hate to people who hate truth.

The same wingnuts who believe men can menstruate will mock a conservative for being “anti-science”. Talk about alternate reality.

It isn’t hate to speak the truth.

I think Orwell taught us that hate is whatever big brother tells us to hate and truth is whatever big brother tells us until big bother changes it's mind and tells us some other truth.

I always thought that the Harry Potter books were more conservative than they get credit for. Deathly Hallows had some pretty strong Christian metaphor to it. Stronger than most books on the market these days.

Agreed. The series is a battle of good vs evil.

I favor The Order of the Phoenix.

Mark my words, if the left wins the current battle the will, they must ban this manual on overturning an evil regime!

Sex is what consenting adults have with each other in the bedroom. Many times the activity is called intercourse. Gender is a description of the body type: masculine or feminine. When a person asks, what sex are you?, they could say, “What gender are you?” Male or female? Therefore when the employment form asks Sex and cousin Jethro says Yes, the employment form could ask gender M or F and Jethro should identify as being Male. Of course if he is looking to have intercourse with a woman then he could circle F that he wants to do it with a woman since he is a heterosexual male. I hope to have simplified this entire matter for those of you who may be somewhat confused by the entire narrative.

"It isn't hate to speak the truth"

Political Correctness demands that we all play make believe and deny reality.

Political Correctness is always fake. Otherwise, it would just be called "Correctness."

She’ll cave. Remember when she said years later that Prof. Dumbledore was gay? There was no need for that other than some sort of bowing to the confused for not having a gay character.

Can’t be a freak if there aren’t any norms.
