On Tuesday, the author of Harry Potter again created controversy by making transphobic remarks on X (formerly Twitter). JK Rowling shared a photo of a wall on which was written “Repeat after us: trans women are women” and simply commented on the image by writing “No).
Several people followed suit by retaking the photo and changing the word “women” at the end of the sentence to “men.” Then, an Internet user pointed out to him that his comments could earn him two years in prison if the law proposed by the British Labor party is adopted, aimed at protecting transsexual people from hate crimes. JK Rowling responded in a bitter tone, mocking the Internet user.
“I don’t spend my day thinking about my heritage”: JK Rowling responds to her detractors accusing her of transphobia
”I will happily serve two years in prison if the alternative is the obligation to use false terms in my language that distort reality. […] Take me before the judge. I would have more fun than on any red carpet,” it reads. But the author does not stop there and continues her mockery: “I would like to be assigned to the prison library, for obvious reasons. But cooking would work too. The laundry room would be complicated, I shrink the clothes and color everything pink But it wouldn’t be a problem if all I have to wash are sheets I guess.”
JK Rowling has made transphobic remarks in the past and many people criticize her behavior and her refusal to accept transsexual people. Several actors from the film “Harry Potter” have also expressed their dissatisfaction with the author.
Accused of transphobia, JK Rowling will return a reward to silence critics
