“Harry Potter” author J.K. Rowling has emerged into a fresh controversy after she returned the Ripple of Hope Award bestowed upon her by the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights organization in December 2019, following criticism from Kerry Kennedy. Kerry is the daughter of Robert F. Kennedy, and the president of the organization.
“Over the course of June 2020 — LGBTQ Pride Month — and much to my dismay, J.K. Rowling posted deeply troubling transphobic tweets and statements,” Kennedy posted on the organization’s website on Aug. 3. “On June 6, she tweeted an article headlined “Opinion: Creating a more equal post-COVID-19 world for people who menstruate.” She wrote glibly and dismissively about transgender identity: ‘People who menstruate.’ I’m sure there used to be a word for those people. Someone help me out. Wumben? Wimpund? Woomud?”
Kennedy said she had spoken with Rowling “to express my profound disappointment that she has chosen to use her remarkable gifts to create a narrative that diminishes the identity of trans and nonbinary people, undermining the validity and integrity of the entire transgender community — one that disproportionately suffers from violence, discrimination, harassment, and exclusion and, as a result, experiences high rates of suicide, suicide attempts, homelessness, and mental and bodily harm. Black trans women and trans youth in particular are targeted.”

Kerry Kennedy is also the ex wife of Andrew Cuomo and the poster child of the “white privilege” liberals complain about.
Six years ago she plowed into a tractor trailer on the highway, was arrested for driving under the influence of drugs but was acquitted:

I like Boones Farm.
Or the JFK Jr. Pilot of the Year Award.
“Inner voices’’. Aka ‘Auditory Hallucinations’’. Yup trannies are mentally ill.
Why did the Democrats ever think of championing .001% of the population who are mentally ill and insist in their minds that they’re the opposite sex from their biology?
My hunch is the “T” latched on to the “LGB” and before anyone knew it you had to buy into the full boat.
I’ve said for a long time that gays would regret letting the mentally ill “T” people latch on to their political wagon. Ultimately, it’s a loser.
E-I-E-I-O. Yep, I visited that farm a few times.
GOOD for JK they are now reaping what they sowed MANY MORE will get the hell out of the party they have created a MONSTER!!!
Typical Liberal Snowflake: Don’t get your way and someone doesn’t agree with you, throw a spoiled-brat temper tantrum.
JK Rowling has far more decency and self-respect than the dead McCain or members of the Bush Family who suck up for some half-assed Profiles in Courage award from the Kennedys.
Those were the good old days. Some forty odd years ago. I was young, life was so different, girls, music, VW bus... a long ago time....
It absolutely enrages me that they are letting Trans men compete in Women’s sports these young women work their entire lives for scholarships ect. in sports to end up competing against MEN these people are truly SICK!! All of their SCREAMING about women’s rights WHAT A CROCK!!
The Kennedys. Didn’t shoot enough of them.
And somehow this spoiled hagster is the one we are supposed to bow down to?
Enjoy it, "Kerry"...(must be short for 'karen'?)...your day is coming, and most certainly from very close to home.
The only Kennedy I admire is Sen. John Kennedy from Louisiana!!!!!
Rowling has far more class woketard Kennedys do.
“In July, Variety reported that Rowling’s book sales were lagging despite a wider boom in the publishing world.”
Yes, I’m sure she’s devastated that her sales only rose 10% (not including e-books) during that time. Hint: She’s already wealthy beyond imagination. Typical leftist games aren’t going to work here.

Americas Borgias acting high minded.
Not to mention his Rhodes Scholarship.
She’s got plenty of “F.U. Money”.
