‘This is not her fight,’ tweeted model Munroe Bergdorf in response

Rowling wrote that she had used antidepressants herself to combat “OCD, depression and anxiety”, before adding, without any sourcing, that “many health professionals are concerned that young people struggling with their mental health are being shunted towards hormones and surgery when this may not be in their best interests”.

Terrible she got slammed yet again for sharing safeguarding concerns. People don't realise many of the kids that detransition actually say they were lesbians. So we should agree, of course it is conversion.

That's a hyper confusing thing to compare... How the f-ck are they similar?

The inevitable social media condemnation. It's the modern equivalent of a witch's curse.

Look outside the window and tell us if it’s raining, you useless excuse for a newspaper. So fxcking poor.

Instead of posting all these headlines & regurgitating Twitter feeds, why don’t you do some journalism & INVESTIGATE WHETHER SHE’S CORRECT ? The facts are out there, stop being a bystander & do what you’re supposed to do, investigate thoroughly & fairly & report!

No one cares.

zzzzzzz

Some gay people are really trans, and then there is nothing wrong with converting them to their true gender, if needed using hormones and surgery. It takes great bravery for a gay person to recognise this. We need more education to help more gay people to understand themselves.

J.K. Rowling condemned for being a mouthy woman who just won't bend the knee to a bunch of incels in drag demanding women open their legs for them or face a battering. Fixed it for you.

why is she vilified? if you dont agree then argue the point, she seems reasonable ams has reasons based in research and really thinking. i dont have a side in this fight but damn the way people are coming at her like she is ISIS or something...

Plz stop giving this woman attention.

First rule of digging yourself out of a bigger hole is to stop digging.

Condemned for expressing an opinion.

Woman has opinion. Quick! Rally the mob, issue the pitch forks! Light the torches!

If you watched BBC Newsnight’s report of the Tavistock Centre, it was heavily implied (pretty much smacked you in the face) that homophobic parents are using these services to make their gay children straight. What would that be called? 🤔

'Childhood-onset gender dysphoria has been shown to have a high rate of natural resolution, with 61-98% of children reidentifying with their biological sex during puberty.' Most will be gay if not medicalized. That means we are TransingAwayTheGay

She is right

So what

Why I resigned from the Tavistock Institute

The condemnation itself is as silly as the media these days. Just tell her you want the money she earned from her own work.

can no one have a different opinion from others ? i agree with her

If you ask me, doing this to children is child abuse.

JK Rowling is echoing concerned doctors in comparing the medicalization of youths to conversion therapy.

If it is performed on children, it's abusive. Once they become adults, hormone therapy all you wish.

I've read that this is the case because so many parents would rather their child change gender than be gay. The world is messed up!

How is this woman in any way qualified to discuss this It’s pure transphobia and an appalling misuse of her platform

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Why does she keep talking about it?
