“Harry Potter” author J.K. Rowling is back in the spotlight after stating on Twitter that young people are being “shunted towards” hormones and surgery that may not be in th…

“When you lie about what I believe about mental health medication and when you misrepresent the views of a trans woman for whom I feel nothing but admiration and solidarity, you cross a line,” Rowling continued.

Many, myself included, believe we are watching a new kind of conversion therapy for young gay people, who are being set on a lifelong path of medicalisation that may result in the loss of their fertility and/or full sexual function. 5/11“None of that may trouble you or disturb your belief in your own righteousness. But if so, I can’t pretend I care much about your bad opinion of me,” Rowling concludes.

“She is a billionaire, cisgender, heterosexual, white woman who has decided that she knows what is best for us and our bodies. This is not her fight.”

Now we can see her real hateful, ignorant self and realize that was already permeated throughout all of her work. Hopefully we at least be more critical of things we consume in the future.

I don't get it.

Pretending to care about gay people to cover up her hatred & bigotry. Vile.

She needs to stop. Please stop.

Don't know her personally (duh) but I am pretty sure Quarantine did her dirty & her brain has stopped working indefinitely.

Here comes the tolerant people who doesn't tolerate others opinions. The thing is everyone is implying and interpreting those words as they want to, not as they are

Queen 😍

Why has warnerbros wbpictures done absolutely nothing about this - this counts as brand disrepute. Black trans women are being murdered and they’re allowing this hate speech to go unchecked. I will not be paying for any WB content while she works for them. ProtectTransKids

Not everyone needs to know our opinions on things. When you have already put your foot in it once, you should just be quiet. Oh well, she's already cashed those initial Harry Potter Checks, and I am sure the residuals are quite nice, too.

Stick to telling us what pilots that pedophiles produced are being made and how many oscars sexual predators won.

Can you guys do a story about all the pedophiles and rapists are in Hollywood?

Aren't you the magazine that had Harvey Weinstein as a guest columnist and never noticed that he was a serial rapist? How could you cover Hollywood all of those years and not had a clue?

Wtf is going on with her.

THANK YOU

Shes a cisgender woman who has cisgender kids, she has no clue what trans children and adults go through and the therapy they have to endure to transition, and might i add with doctors who are also cisgender

JKRowling maybe Dr Marvin Monroe's aversion therapy is more suitable? 😂👍

I'm sorry, but I have lost all respect for her. Never in my life have I felt more attacked by a complete stranger that I once admired and respected. I can't even enjoy HP anymore. She needs to stop talking about things that she clearly does not understand! TransIsBeautiful

How can someone so brilliant be so stupid about this?!

I really don't think that's what she was trying to say. Oh boy I'm not even gonna . Well I hope not ofc like

Hey, this headline sucks! She didn’t “flag” conversation therapy; she compared life saving treatment for trans kids to conversation therapy, which is torture!

She’s become a hate symbol

Lol the irony of a transphobic female writer who uses the name 'Robert Galbraith'.

Why doesn’t she just turn off Twitter. First rule of holes: when you’re in one, stop digging.

Why is this an issue for her? She created a character who was ostracized, who we all loved. Now she is falling on this sword of hate and insensitivity? Rich, successful and still angry. I don’t get it. jk_rowling JKRowling

Just for the record: I did NEVER liked this woman that much. It was something there.... Pretension in the flesh.

joanne just stfu pls

LOL! She is amping up her game. She knows what's gonna trigger the leftist thugs. She is actually loving it! 😄

Is it possible to convert her from being an a-hole?

She’s a nightmare of rabid hate, it’s sad to see she’s descended into total a state of madness (and evil).

She needs therapy more than anybody else

STOP AMPLIFYING HER

Smh
