After she was slammed for liking a tweet that argued that hormone prescriptions can be necessary and lifesaving, but they should be a last resort, “Harry Potter” author J.K. Rowling, who has been the center of a brouhaha over transgender issues, fired back with a Twitter thread in which she fiercely argued against the trend of young people being “shunted towards hormones and surgery.”
The original tweet claimed that the prescriptions were likened to antidepressants that some people use rather than examine whether they can be healed psychologically, as it stated, “Hormone prescriptions are the new antidepressants. Yes they are sometimes necessary and lifesaving, but they should be a last resort —not the first option. Pure laziness for those who would rather medicate than put in the time and effort to heal people’s minds.
