Trans-men Cannot Define What A Woman Is” – J.K. Rowling

J.K. Rowling, the author of “Harry Potter,” has a powerful message for males who believe they can speak for all women and define what a woman is.

The author infuriated the transgender community by insisting on recognizing biology and refusing to tolerate men in women’s spaces merely because they identify as transgender in 2020.

She claimed that biological men cannot declare their gender as women, which earned her the wrath of the transgender community, who actively pushed for her to be cancelled.

While many pro-trans activists have criticized Rowling, one activist has most recently caught her eye.

India Willoughby, a reporter and the “first trans newsreader” in the UK, attacked Rowling in a contentious tweet.

“I’m more of a woman than J.K. Rowling ever will be,” Willoughby, a biological male, wrote.

The female author Rowling responded to Willoughby by saying, “Citation needed.”

Later, on January 25, Rowling insisted on Twitter that men cannot define what a woman is.

She tweeted: “Men defining what a woman is, what women should and shouldn’t fear, what women should and shouldn’t say, what rights women should be fine with giving up and, of course, what constitutes ‘real’ misogyny: get a bloody mirror.

“That’s real misogyny, looking right back at you.”

It was one of Rowling’s most recent tweets in a run of ones she’s sent at critics. Additionally, it explains why some refer to Rowling, a vocal feminist activist, as a TERF (trans-exclusionary radical feminist).

She supported a British woman in 2020 who had been fired from her job for objecting to the British government’s intentions to legalize gender transitions.

Nicola Sturgeon, a Scottish politician, has also drawn harsh criticism from Rowling because she refused to remove a man by the name of Isla Bryson from an all-female prison.

Rowling shared a comment alongside an image of Sturgeon addressing a small child while on his knees, writing, “Do you agree that a convicted double rapist who decided he was a woman after appearing in court belongs in a women’s prison, or are you a nasty, far right bigot?”

Rowling is outraged that this male rapist was suddenly permitted to be housed in a women’s prison because she believes that women’s spaces should be protected, especially from men who have a history of violence.

Rowling has maintained her position despite the hatred she has endured.

She was asked how she copes with losing an audience last year, and she said, “I read my most recent royalty checks.”
