‘I refuse to bow down’: J.K. Rowling defends her opposition to transgender ideology

Just The News: J.K. Rowling – the multimillionaire author known for writing the perpetually popular “Harry Potter” series of novels – penned an essay this week defending her opposition to transgender ideology, claiming that the “deeply misogynistic and regressive” movement is harming young men and women and making women less safe.

Rowling generated significant backlash last year when she tweeted that “sex is real,” a noted rebuke of transgender ideology from a popular public figure.

Transgenderism posits that men and women can “identify” as the opposite sex if they feel strongly enough about it, a position that few in any celebrities have challenged as aggressively and publicly as Rowling.  more

  1. This from famous twit Emma Watson:

    Emma Watson, who played the witch Hermione Granger in the film series, wrote on Twitter yesterday that “trans people are who they say they are and deserve to live their lives without being constantly questioned or told they aren’t who they say they are.”

    She inadvertently nailed the issue. You can’t take what people say about themselves as gospel. People are capable of giving themselves descriptions that are far from reality. It would be like Rock Hudson claiming to be straight or Stalin claiming to be a nice person.

    This willingness to accept what people say instead of looking at a person’s record, physical characteristics, and past activities is common in the academic world; it is called qualitative analysis. It is not scientific in the least.

    The people who believe personal descriptions will readily believe a 3 year old boy who says he thinks he is really a girl. He could also say he’s a dinosaur or a fish, which everyone would claim is childish imagination at work. But if the kid claims he’s a girl the psychologists, psychiatrists, and various academics will call it prima facie evidence that he is indeed a female.

    This is nightmarish.

  2. When the police ran my license plate, it said I was 27 year old white guy Steve Smith. My drivers license with my picture said I was Steve Smith. Bills in my glovebox said I was Steve Smith.

    It was transphobic of them to not believe me when I told them that I was actually an overweight black woman named Nell Carter.

    Forget about transsexualism, it’s Liberalism that is the root mental illness. Trans is just a symptom of the disease.

  3. The level of indignation is amusing all on its own.
    Storyteller, basically a gifted liar, tells the truth and she is vilified, harangued, canceled, vandalized, book-burned, by a bunch of shrikes who haven’t done a worthwhile thing in their lives.
    They are lynching one of their own, I love it when the little guppies eat the big ones.
