“Harry Potter” author <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/j-k-rowling">J.K. Rowling</a>, who has become an outspoken critic of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/transgender">trans-identifying</a> men participating in women’s sports in recent years, posted a lengthy reaction on Thursday to President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump">Donald Trump&#8217;s</a> signing of an executive order banning the practice.
“Congratulations to every single person on the left who’s been campaigning to destroy women’s and girls’ rights. Without you, there’d be no images like this,” she said in a post to X that included an image of President Trump holding up the EO with his signature as he’s surrounded by young female athletes who <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/surrounded-by-young-female-athletes-donald-trump-bans-men-from-womens-sports">witnessed the signing</a>.

“This &#8216;why do you care about a tiny fraction of the population?&#8217; line is, and always was, utterly ridiculous,” Rowling <a href="https://x.com/jk_rowling/status/1887472120541679690">continued</a> in a follow-up. 
“Gender ideology has undermined freedom of speech, scientific truth, gay rights, and women&#8217;s and girls&#8217; safety, privacy and dignity. It&#8217;s also caused irreparable physical damage to vulnerable kids,” she wrote. “Nobody voted for it, the vast majority of people disagree with it, yet it has been imposed, top down, by politicians, healthcare bodies, academia, sections of the media, celebrities and even the police. Its activists have threatened and enacted violence on those who&#8217;ve dared oppose it.”
Rowling said eventually, it will become clear that &#8220;the actual victims in this mess have been women and children.”  
“This movement has impacted society in disastrous ways, and if you had any sense, you&#8217;d be quietly deleting every trace of activist mantras, ad hominem attacks, false equivalence and circular arguments from your X feeds, because the day is fast approaching when you&#8217;ll want to pretend you always saw through the craziness and never believed it for a second,” the British author wrote.
Rowling has been a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/5-years-ago-j-k-rowling-took-a-stand-against-trans-activists-she-hasnt-backed-down">staunch advocate</a> for women’s sex-based rights and private spaces after tweeting her support for Maya Forstater, a tax specialist who lost her job for sharing “transphobic” tweets in 2019. She went viral again in 2020 after posting a sarcastic response to an article on menstrual health which refrained from using the word “woman.”
The “Harry Potter” author” has often found herself the target of radical transgender activists — who have, in addition to labeling her a trans-exclusionary radical feminist (TERF), threatened her life on numerous occasions.
