J.K. Rowling Calls Out ‘Elitist’ Trans Mob After Years of Facing ‘Death, Rape, and Torture Threats’

J.K. Rowling described transgender activism in the 21st century as “elitist,” adding that her political views “haven’t changed,” despite having faced “an avalanche of death, rape, and torture threats.”

“It’s been six years since I wrote my essay explaining why I chose to speak up on the issue of trans activism and the risk I believe it poses to women’s rights, and to everyone’s freedom of speech and belief,” Rowling wrote in a new essay, published on Wednesday.

“My views haven’t changed,” the “Harry Potter” author continued. “But the landscape certainly has, and my own involvement in the issue has become practical as well as theoretical, so I thought it was time for an update.”

Rowling went on to pen an update to her June 2020 essay, titled, “J.K. Rowling Writes about Her Reasons for Speaking out on Sex and Gender Issues.”

As Breitbart News reported, Rowling first spoke out against transgender extremism in 2019, after a British woman lost her job for refusing to use certain pronouns while speaking to a biological man pretending to be a woman.

I have never felt bad for her because she has supported and funded just about every left-wing cause known and she is responsible for a lot of the damage done. These people exist because of her and the minute you don’t tow the line 100%, they turn on you like rapid dogs.

She has still not learned any lessons from this and still supports the illegals overrunning her country and every other manner of leftist bullshit.

You are correct. Likely the only thing MS Rowling and I would agree on. The rest? Probably not.

Rowling and Musk are two of the world’s greatest champions of free speech. Unlikely background in both cases; but thank God for their activism, so unlike that the the typical leftist billionaire.

You forgot your FR manners — some posts really need a /sarc tag ( /sarc or /s ).
