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.
