Last week, staff at Hachette, the company that published J.K. Rowling’s new book, threatened to strike unless the company stopped carrying the book because of Rowling’s views on transgenderism, (which included the shocking perspective that biological women are women); the company stood by Rowling. Now four writers represented by Rowling’s literary agency have resigned because the agency refused to issue a public statement of support for transgender rights and pledge action.
Fox Fisher, Drew Davies, Ugla Stefanía Kristjönudóttir Jónsdóttir and one another writer who prefers to remain anonymous quit the Blair Partnership because they could not assert the company “supports our rights at all avenues,” according to The Guardian.
