J.K. Rowling, the renowned Harry Potter series author, has called out the colleagues who have publicly criticized her stance on transgender rights but privately tried to maintain friendship. The 58-year-old author has been under fire since her transphobic comment on social media in 2020.

She has received criticism from both netizens and celebrities including Harry Potter cast Emma Watson and Daniel Radcliffe ever since her derogatory comments on the LGBTQ community. Check out her controversial posts on X and what she has to say to her colleagues.

J.K. Rowling’s derogatory and transphobic comment from 2020
In June 2020, Rowling shared an opinion piece titled Creating a More Equal post-COVID-19 World for people who menstruate and wrote, “‘People who menstruate.’ I’m sure there used to be a word for those people. Someone help me out. Wumben? Wimpund? Woomud?”

In order to make her position clear, Rowling emphasized in her blog the “issues” with marginalizing “women” to satisfy the “socio-political concept” of transgender. As a self-described Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminist (TERF), Rowling said that there was already “toxicity” around the trans community and that TERFs were typically intimidated when they were called out for their transphobia.
