Reaction on social media was swift, with #RIPJKRowling trending on Twitter by early Monday afternoon, as critics and former fans argued that“J.K. Rowling is single-mindedly obsessed with trans people and actively frames them as predators in her novels,”, that was previously denounced for portraying a transgender character as aggressive.
Rowling has not commented on this latest dustup, but previously defended her views on transgenderism in a : “I refuse to bow down to a movement that I believe is doing demonstrable harm in seeking to erode ‘woman’ as a political and biological class and offering cover to predators like few before it.”“Over in the real world the number of trans people killed in Brazil has risen by 70% this past year, young trans women are left to burn in cars and men who kill us are pardoned and sent home,”
Let’s see how this sells?
Degeneracy
Fame and fortune oughtn't come at the price of one's surrendering their conscience and common sense. I hope she stands her grounds!!!

This is really just an extension of her fear of queer people.
Hard pass lol

When having billions of dollars allows you to be as horrible as you want to be. 😑
Damn, fuck yeah. Defiantly checking that book out.
Pretty on-brand with her statements lately. What a strange stance to take.
