JK Rowling has again sparked outrage and been accused of making transphobic comments after tweeting her opinions on gender and sex.

The 54-year-old Harry Potter author was swiftly criticised and accused of being transphobic after she took to Twitter to voice her controversial views.

The controversy began when JK reacted to an online article titled “Opinion: Creating a more equal post COVID-19 world for people who menstruate.”

Sharing the article online, JK wrote: “‘People who menstruate.’ I’m sure there used to be a word for those people. Someone help me out. Wumben? Wimpund? Woomud?”

She has enough money to have the luxury of telling the truth in public without losing her job or being bankrupted. That is a luxury many people no longer have.

She's worth about $1b thanks to those books and movies about that scraggly haired boy with eyeglasses. I don't think it matters to her what those dirty Leftists think.

"It isn’t hate to speak the truth."

JK, I suggest you read 1984 and realize that while the right saw it as a warning, the left saw it as an instruction manual.

She’s a bad girl! She’ll have to go and do some crit self crit, accuse herself of crimes against the party, confess, and then shoot herself in the back of the head.

She may be well off enough to not care about the Leftist Lunatic backlash but, she is in this case quite correct.
The BabylonBee published a satirical article on this subject the other day about a Motorcyclist that IDENTIFIES as a Bicyclist.
It was a satire about men claiming to be women and entering women’s sports and shattering women’s sports records.

Yes, exactly. I never liked her much. Besides being a Leftist heifer, she’s a one trick pony as a writer.

Good for her. Let’s hope she has stopped digging.

biology is fact

men don’t have vaginas and don’t have periods.

women do not have penises and can’t impregnate a woman.

men taking female hormones are still men.

women taking male hormones are still women.

all of them are mentally ill.

reality is what it is.

deal with it or remain crazy and depressed.

So there are limits to her lunacy. It’s a ways down the road, but good for her.

F’ Rowling, she pandered to the queers by after the fact making characters queer, she’ll buy herself out of this with money and suddenly making it know that character X was always Trans............probably Hagrid.
