Not read her books but I'm supporting JK Rowling

At least she should subject to undergo a sexchange op. herself

Attention seekng flakes

These so called authors are going to wake up one morning in abundance of regret for this nonsense.

Wait. So the four authors are mad because they disagree with Rowling? That’s all fine and dandy. But don’t expect everyone to agree. This seems ridiculous. Am I missing something?

From what I gather, she is all for transgender rights, just not overwriting biology. Gender is fluid, but until science can change our DNA or unless there is a mutation, you're born male or female biologically. Sex is a scientific fact. It's not good or bad, it just is.

WTF cares?

cindygallop fuckwits. JK is 100% for all legal transgender rights, and never once ever questioned that. She simply refused to buy into the re-writing of biology

Do we still live in a country where there is Freedom of Speech?

What she said wasnt that bad if u actually read it rather than the mass media hype

They must have got a better offer or were earning author minimum wage of zero...

Fake news

4 nobodies it looks like. Goodbye

Absolute nonsense!

Don’t let the door hit ya. The smug quartet thinks everyone should accept the “anything goes” ideology.

She makes an excellent point and if anyone has a problem with it they should resign. I swear this cancel culture is getting so ridiculous.

What are transgender 'rights'? Are they supposed to have more special rights than everyone else? In the US, everyone has the same rights, it's a federal law. Every single employer makes it clear that there is no discrimination on the basis of race, gender, age, etc, etc, etc, etc
