UK author JK Rowling in her first reaction to Donald Trump’s win in the US election repeated what she wrote about the Left in the UK that the Left has f**ked up monumentally on gender identity ideology. The Harry Potter author said many women like her are not and never have been far-right. But the want the Left to “wake the hell up”.
“I’m not saying Trump’s win was down to the gender stuff – I’m not an American voter, so can’t judge. In any case, the Labour Party won the last UK election and they’ve embraced gender identity ideology whole-heartedly (although they won against a Tory government so enfeebled and unpopular it would have been miraculous if they hadn’t, and their popularity since gaining office has plummeted.)” Rowling wrote.
“What I do know is that millions of women in the UK and across the developed world are extremely angry about men in women’s sport, men in women’s jails and the erosion of single-sex spaces. Parents are angry at being demonised because they don’t want their troubled kids to undergo irreversible medical treatments of extremely questionable benefit. People are sick to the back teeth of being bullied and threatened for refusing to embrace an elitist, academia-generated ideology that’s having severe real world consequences,” the British author wrote.
JK Rowling was one of the first prominent figures to speak against Paris Olympics boxing gold medallist Imane Khelif over her gender row. Donald Trump, Elon Musk too spoke on the issue condemning the soft stance of the Liberals allowing ‘men’ to participate in the women’s category.
Referring to that issue, Rowling wrote, “Large swathes of the left continue to be threatening and abusive to anybody who resists their attempts to impose ideological language or bully them out of wrongthink. Leftist activists jeer and sneer at erstwhile female allies for the crime of believing biological sex is real and matters. And leftist leaders still appear more interested in sucking up to gender activists than – to take a topical example in the UK – female nurses whose crime is not wanting to undress in front of a fully intact male.”
The author added that she is completely indifferent to critics who are calling her bigot and fascist.
