JK Rowling: a witch who refuses to burn

If you’d have said 10 years ago that JK Rowling would soon become a hate figure among the cultural elites, people would have thought you were mad. Her Harry Potter series is beloved the world over. She is immaculately liberal-left. Why would she ever be demonised by the great and good? Well, because she believes in biological sex and single-sex spaces – views held by the vast majority of the population, but deemed ‘transphobic’ by gender ideologues. Here, Lauren Smith explains how intolerant transgender activists pulled off the most vicious character assassination of the woke era – and commends Rowling for refusing to betray her principles. Watch, share and let us know what you think.

"Until recently, JK Rowling was a beloved children's author"

At present, she still is, with anyone retaining common sense.

[LeeorAlexandra]

Love JK Rowling forever and appreciate how she stands up against the erasure of women

[willowcrowley]

Biological sex is not a belief.
I stand with Rowling.

[Policulturenomics]

She is a Hero for being on the front line of this insane culture catastrophe.

[pamelaroebuck]

I stand with J. K. Rowling! She speaks the truth.

[CamillaFranklin-tw]

JK Rowling will go down in history for being the ultimate feminist- when she was denigrated, abused, hounded - she stood up and backed us, our daughters, our mothers and sisters. She’s a hero and history will remember her as such (even if she doesn’t care ❤️ - thank you, Jo)

[phoenixmoon]

Most women stand with J.K Rowling!! She’s 💯!! She speaks for the silent majority. We are sick of the cancer. We are tired of men once again taking our rights and invading our spaces. Real women deserve to be protected.

[tekken]

She's a great woman and fantastic author standing up against complete and utter nonsense.

[EmilyAlton-qm]

As a child, JK Rowling was my idol. I wanted to be just like her: writing stories. Nowadays, she's even more important to me, not only because she's a wonderful storyteller, but because she stands up for her belief. I stand with JK Rowling.

[DutchIsraeli]

I stand with JK Rowling, just like she stands with us 🧡🎗️

[AnnLawton]

Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson and rest of them from Harry Potter films are full of nonsense...

[quarteracreadventures]

I loved her for writing Harry Potter. Now I love her even more. She is as brave as the heroes of Hogwarts

[prandtlmayer]

She is not Voldemort, but Harry Potter, who stands firm against the bullying of the mob in "The Order of the Phoenix". It took for the Wizarding World to collapse to realize their mistakes, let's hope we don't come to that.

J. K. isn't hated by those with critical thought.

[garyweglarz]

It was ironically all the hate and death threats against Ms. Rowling that led me to finally take a long overdue deep dive into the gender-ideology madness. A big thank you to Ms. Rowling for her courage. And of course a tip of the hat to all those - "brave, " "inclusive, " "stunning" -uber-misogynistic trans-activists - whose vile barking-mad rape threats and death threats toward Ms. Rowling brought this issue to my attention.

[Mirtillas]

There are lots of people who will have to apologise to J. K. Rowling, but they are too narcissistic and cowards!

[nifferwolf]

I absolutely adore this woman. Since standing up for women and against the tyranny of the extreme left she has proven herself every bit as principled as I expected the writer of Harry Potter to be. Anyone who actually understands the underlying themes of those books should be in no way surprised she has taken the stance she has. I'm so proud of her, the work she has done and the influence she has had on the world. She is muh Queen 👑 💜🙌

I’ve never known a professional woman who has been so lambasted for relying on the Truth. Gather together the names of the people who are responsible for attempting to damage her reputation, , , , it’s important for future generations to know who the unhinged people were, ,,, and how they were the driver of the bus that took them over the cliff.

[martinda]

There is simply nowhere else to stand but next to J K Rowling!

[madelinewise]

JK Rowlings is a true heroine. She speaks for the VAST majority of women. I'm so grateful for her voice.
