About
Bestselling author J.K. Rowling has become infamous for her support of anti-trans beliefs and misrepresentations generally following the TERF philosophy, which of course have been strongly supported by those aligned to such beliefs. The hashtag #IStandWithJKRowling has become a dogwhistle for transmisia on Twitter and elsewhere.
It is somewhat ironic that an author whose books were unreasonably reviled by fundamentalists in the early 2000s has become herself an exponent of gender essentialism, a form of gender fundamentalism.
Anti-trans Claims
- "If sex isn’t real, there’s no same-sex attraction. If sex isn’t real, the lived reality of women globally is erased. I know and love trans people, but erasing the concept of sex removes the ability of many to meaningfully discuss their lives. It isn’t hate to speak the truth." 2020-06-06 18:02
- falsely implies that trans people are denying the existence of sex straw man
- "I am a trans woman who knows hundreds of trans people and who is very active in the community, and I’ve never heard any trans person or expert say or imply otherwise even once. Trans people are often more keenly aware of sex characteristics than anyone else, having often spent their whole lives dealing with the dysphoria that their various sex characteristics cause them, and seeing how other people react to them. I, and almost every trans person I’ve talked to, have had to teach the doctors and nurses who aren’t experts how our biology works just to get basic healthcare. Often one of the main things that trans people want for the world is a better understanding of trans bodies and of biology." -- Katy Montgomery
- falsely implies a dichotomy between trans rights and biological reality false dichotomy
- falsely implies that trans people are denying the existence of sex straw man

Rowling liked a tweet from a Canadian anti-trans organisation called We The Females opposing a proposed law in Canada that would ban conversion therapy for LGBT+ youth, including trans kids. [..] Like other anti-trans organisations, We The Females propose that trans youth should be subjected to “gender-critical therapy”, to deter or prevent them from transitioning. Gender-critical feminists often claim that affirming therapists railroad youth. ”

- 2018/03/28 [L..T] Is J.K. Rowling Transphobic? A Trans Woman Investigates "Ultimately, the answer is yes, she is transphobic, at least in the ways that so many average cisgender people can be. However, because she’s J.K. Rowling, creator of the best-selling book series of all time and an idol to so many LGBTQ+ children and now adults, she gets called out for it. I think it's fair that she receives criticism from trans people, especially given her advocacy on behalf of queer people in general, but also because she has a huge platform. Many people look up to her for creating a singular piece of popular culture that holds deep meaning for fans from different walks of life, and she has a responsibility to handle that platform wisely."
