&#8220;Harry Potter&#8221; author J.K. Rowling unloaded on court systems that she said were embracing calls to address criminals by the gender with which they identify – even if that means a female rape victim would be asked to address her male rapist or alleged rapist as &#8220;she&#8221; or &#8220;her.&#8221;
Rowling was responding to the news out of South Australia, where the courts have endorsed the use of preferred pronouns during regular courtroom proceedings as a &#8220;matter of respect&#8221; going forward, stating that the move was necessary for &#8220;ensuring public confidence in the proper administration of justice,&#8221; according to The Australian.
&#8220;Asking a woman to refer to her male rapist or violent assaulter as &#8216;she&#8217; in court is a form of state-sanctioned abuse. Female victims of male violence are further traumatised by being forced to speak a lie,&#8221; Rowling said in a post on X.
The court in South Australia released a <a href="https://www.courts.sa.gov.au/2023/11/06/courts-issue-a-practice-note-about-pronunciation-of-names-and-gender-pronounscourt-operating-hours-from-22-december-2023-2-2/#:~:text=For%20many%20decades%2C%20the%20courts,which%20caused%20the%20victim%20distress">statement</a> saying, “Unfortunately, Ms Rowling has misunderstood the protocol&#8221; — although the fact remains that the policy as she described it has been applied in other jurisdictions.

Critics quickly attacked Rowling, who has often been the target of radical transgender activists due to her insistence on protecting single-sex spaces for women and sex-based rights. She responded to some and highlighted the hateful comments of others.
When one person said that she couldn&#8217;t imagine being compelled to do something like that, Rowling said she wouldn&#8217;t be cowed into complying. &#8220;Personally, I wouldn&#8217;t be compelled, I&#8217;d take contempt of court. It&#8217;s time for mass non-compliance with this bull***t,&#8221; she said.

&#8220;Is this actually happening in current cases or just hypothetically has the potential of happening given the law?&#8221; another asked, and Rowling responded with an example.
&#8220;It has happened. Here&#8217;s one UK example, where a judge told a woman who was beaten up by a trans-identified male that she showed &#8216;bad grace&#8217; by refusing to call her attacker &#8216;she&#8217; in court,&#8221; she posted.

Mystery novelist Daniel Friedman took to X on Saturday to explain why so many young progressives — many of whom had grown up reading and loving the Harry Potter series — had grown so angry with author J.K. Rowling in recent years.
On the surface, many claim to be upset with her insistence on protecting sex-based rights and access, particularly for women, to single-sex spaces — and to trans-rights activists, that makes Rowling a &#8220;Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminist&#8221; (TERF). But Friedman&#8217;s theory is that the anger is rooted a bit deeper than that.
&#8220;The reason a lot of young progressives are so mad at JK Rowling is that they read the books as kids, and they thought they were Harry or Hermione. But they grew up into people like Percy or Dolores Umbridge or Cornelius Fudge or Rita Skeeter,&#8221; Friedman began, naming characters who either actively denied reality or dutifully tattled on friends, neighbors, and even family members who refused to do the same. &#8220;And they know it. And on some level, they’re ashamed.&#8221;
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

&#8220;I’m reading the fifth book with my niece and it’s kind of astonishing how well it tracks to contemporary controversies. And Rowling is on the same side now that she was when she wrote it. Which is the side of people who tell the truth, against people who suppress and deny the truth in service of their ideology,&#8221; Friedman continued.
The author went on to explain that some characters, &#8220;unprepared&#8221; do deal with a reality they did not particularly like, simply denied it was happening — and because they held powerful political positions, they then insisted that everyone else participate in their delusions.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
&#8220;Harry is attacked by dementors while he’s staying with his aunt and uncle, and he uses magic to defend himself. He’s put on trial for using magic outside the school, and his defense is that he was protecting himself from the dementors,&#8221; Friedman explained. &#8220;But [Minister of Magic] Fudge refuses to believe the dementors were there, because, if they’re not in Azkaban where they’re supposed to be, then that means his ministry has lost control of them.&#8221;
Dolores Umbridge, the bureaucrat sent by the Ministry of Magic to rein in Professor Dumbledore — the headmaster and one of the few truly powerful people who is unafraid to speak the truth — behaved almost exactly as Fudge did.
&#8220;Umbridge insists that the students do not need to learn magical defense because nobody is going to attack them. Every time Harry protests, Umbridge punishes him sadistically,&#8221; Friedman added. &#8220;She refuses to tolerate any evidence of truth that conflicts with her ideology, and zealously prosecutes heretics who speak against her beliefs.&#8221;
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

Friedman&#8217;s conclusion was simple: &#8220;Twenty years ago, Umbridge, who zealously believes in the righteousness of her ideology, and, in the face of increasing evidence to the contrary, attempts to suppress that evidence and punish those who present it rather than changing her beliefs, probably read as a right-wing figure. But today, she’s the perfect model of a woke bureaucrat.&#8221;

&#8220;Harry Potter&#8221; author J.K. Rowling has often spoken up for the sex-based rights of women, arguing for — and even helping to fund — single-sex spaces for women, particularly those who have been abused.
She has often faced backlash for that from transgender ideology activists — and she faced a whole new wave of criticism when she doubled down on Tuesday, admitting that she&#8217;d &#8220;happily&#8221; do prison time if forced compliance with preferred gender pronouns and identities were the alternative.
The conversation began with Rowling&#8217;s defiant response — &#8220;No&#8221; — to a billboard that read, &#8220;Repeat after us: Trans women are women.&#8221;
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Someone responded to her post, pointing out the fact that if Britain&#8217;s Labour Party had control of the parliament, the punishment for refusing to comply could be up to two years in prison.
Rowling seemed undeterred, saying that she&#8217;d prefer prison to &#8220;compelled speech&#8221; if it came to that.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

The author and her followers continued the conversation, with one saying that she&#8217;d see Rowling &#8220;on the inside&#8221; and hoped that she&#8217;d be put to work in the prison kitchens. Rowling&#8217;s preference for a prison job was unsurprising: she said if given the choice, she&#8217;d like to work in the library.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
Hoping for the library, obviously, but I think I could do ok in the kitchens. Laundry might be a problem. I have a tendency to shrink stuff/turn it pink accidentally. Guessing that won&#39;t be a major issue if it&#39;s mostly scrubs and sheets, though.

School officials in the United Kingdom have reportedly begun to advise Jewish students to hide their identities while walking to and from school — apparently out of fear that something could happen to them if they didn&#8217;t.

Rowling</a> shared a photo of a newspaper story out of London that mentioned children leaving certain items of clothing behind — or covering them up — in an effort to limit the visual cues identifying them as Jews.
&#8220;We said &#8216;never again.&#8217; The UK was a safe haven,&#8221; Rowling posted via X. &#8220;Now, after the biggest massacre of Jews since the holocaust, British Jewish children are being advised to hide their identities as they walk to school, for their own safety.

The pictured article appears to be a concerned letter-to-the-editor from a local resident whose daughter was warned not to wear her school&#8217;s logo when she went out alone — and had already witnessed some anti-Israel actions in her own neighborhood.
&#8220;Sir, on advice from her school our teenage daughter has gone off without her blazer this morning. Her male classmates have been advised to cover their skullcaps with baseball caps,&#8221; the letter read.
&#8220;On her pre-school dawn run yesterday she ran past the broken glass of a kosher cafe’s windows and a fresh anti-Israel slogan painted on a bridge,&#8221; it continued. &#8220;All my grandparents were Holocaust survivors who found safe haven, and built new lives, in the UK, so of course I am twitching with latent anxiety and the creeping dangers of the masses not speaking out against terrorism. I sincerely hope Rishi Sunak honors his pledge to stand with Israel and protect British Jews.&#8221;

As Rowling predicted, the apologists quickly came out in force — and claimed in a litany of different ways that &#8220;this, too, was justified.&#8221;
Multiple campus groups at Harvard University came together and published a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/harvard-profs-unload-on-campus-groups-over-anti-israel-statement" target="_blank" rel="noopener">joint statement</a> that blamed Israel for the brutal attacks — which have so far left close to 1,000 Israelis dead and hundreds more wounded, tortured, or kidnapped.

Los Angeles Times investigative reporter Adam Elmahrek simply suggested that the story was propaganda, likely fabricated by the Israeli military in an effort to garner sympathy and stir hatred against Palestinians.

“<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/harry-potter" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Harry Potter</a>” author <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jk-rowling" target="_blank" rel="noopener">J.K. Rowling</a> publicly responded to one of her critics on X, demanding the individual provide receipts.
The billionaire has come under fire in recent years for her stance on radical transgender activism. Critics label Rowling as a TERF, or trans-exclusionary radical feminist, and accuse her of being hostile toward trans-identifying people. This all stems from her refusal to accept that biological men should be referred to as women if they choose.
An X user posted a video of one such critic, which includes that person accusing Rowling of being a “transphobe” and questioning why anyone would continue being &#8220;Harry Potter&#8221; fans in light of that information. 
“Like, she actively says the most horrendous, horrifying, disgusting things about trans people, specifically trans women, on X,” the person said. “How do you still support it …. How do you still read those book?” 
“You know that she is actively doing things to hurt the LGBT community,” the video continues, with the person admitting to loving Harry Potter but saying, “I can’t support it because it hurts my siblings.”
The video has close to 6 million views as of Wednesday morning. Rowling herself replied on X, saying she’d love to see an example of what she’s being accused of.

Rowling got a lot of support in the comments.
“Would love to see the receipts. They never supply them,” one commenter wrote. 
Rowling claims to be &#8220;pro-LGBT&#8221; but has balked at redefining the word “woman.” The controversy began in 2020 when she reacted to an article referring to women as “people who menstruate.”
“‘People who menstruate.’ I’m sure there used to be a word for those people. Someone help me out. Wumben? Wimpund? Woomud?” she tweeted at the time. Since then, Rowling has frequently spoken out against radical trans activism, which has divided her fan base.

Trans-identifying activist India Willoughby claimed to be &#8220;more female&#8221; than women&#8217;s tennis star <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/tennis-legend-martina-navratilova-says-allowing-emily-zanotti" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Martina Navratilova</a> — and the tennis great was only too happy to return that serve.
The spat apparently began when Navratilova defended the use of the term &#8220;trans-identifying male&#8221; to describe a person who self-identified as a transgender woman.
&#8220;Trans identifying males is not a transphobic buzz phrase &#8230; but rather a biological fact,&#8221; she tweeted. &#8220;Also it makes it much easier to understand who is who and how they started. Where they end up can change, but biology doesn’t change. Ever.&#8221;

Willoughby took offense to that, claiming that the legal system concurred with her with transitioning genders, and accusing Navratilova of intentionally using &#8220;transphobic&#8221; language.
&#8220;Calling someone a ‘trans identified male’ rather than simply a woman is about as transphobic as it gets,&#8221; Willoughby tweeted. &#8220;She knows what she’s doing and so do you. Navratilova is also wrong. Someone who transitions is factually and legally a biological female.&#8221;
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

Martina Navratilova

Actor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/celebrities">Daniel Radcliffe</a> said he is not interested in any cameos for the new “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/harry-potter">Harry Potter</a>” TV <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/television">series</a> that’s being developed for Max. 
The actor shot to fame as the star of the film series, which began in 2001. The new TV version is expected to feature an entirely new cast of actors, per <a href="https://deadline.com/2023/07/daniel-radcliffe-harry-potter-tv-series-not-seeking-role-1235430064/">Deadline</a>, and will last for ten years. Radcliffe said he isn&#8217;t interested in making an appearance.
“My understanding is that they’re trying to very much start fresh and I’m sure whoever is making them will want to make their own mark on it and probably not want to have to figure out how to get old Harry to cameo in this somewhere,” the 33-year-old actor told ComicBook.com. 
“So I’m definitely not seeking it out in any way. But I do wish them, obviously, all the luck in the world and I’m very excited to have that torch passed. But I don’t think it needs me to physically pass it.”
&#8220;Harry Potter&#8221; fans have mixed feelings about the story being adapted into a TV series. 
Casey Bloys, Chairman and CEO of HBO &amp; Max Content, promised viewers this new project would be “a faithful adaptation” of the bestselling novels. “This new Max Original series will dive deep into each of the iconic books that fans have continued to enjoy for all of these years,” he said in April.
The network reportedly plans to include series creator J.K. Rowling as an executive producer despite all the backlash she’s inspired with her stance on trans issues. Rowling has been labeled a “TERF” (trans-exclusionary radical feminist) by critics for her insistence that biological sex is real.

Radcliffe is one of several “Harry Potter” stars who came out against Rowling. “Transgender women are women. Any statement to the contrary erases the identity and dignity of transgender people and goes against all advice given by professional healthcare associations who have far more expertise on this subject matter than either Jo [Rowling] or [me],” Radcliffe <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/daniel-radcliffe-choosing-sides-against-j-k-rowling-in-trans-argument-was-important">said</a> in November when Rowling was getting trashed online. 
“To all the people who now feel that their experience of the books has been tarnished or diminished, I am deeply sorry for the pain these comments have caused you. I really hope that you don’t entirely lose what was valuable in these stories to you.”

&#8220;You have a perfect right to believe in unprovable essences that may or may not match the sexed body, but the rest of us have a right to disagree, and to refuse to adopt your jargon,&#8221; Rowling tweeted. Her post has since gone viral with more than 4.5 million views and counting.

The screenshot read, &#8220;It&#8217;s sad really.That a) you think a rapists is going to be stopped by a sign on a door. They won&#8217;t. And they don&#8217;t give a sh*t generally about boundaries/&#8217;safe spaces&#8217;&#8230;It&#8217;s kinda a key characteristic of rapists. B) that trans people universally represent a threat. They don&#8217;t.&#8221;
Rowling replied, &#8220;Never forget: it&#8217;s far too unsafe for trans women to use men&#8217;s bathrooms/changing rooms, because they might get assaulted.&#8221;
&#8220;However, it&#8217;s completely fine for any man who identifies as a woman to use women&#8217;s bathrooms/changing rooms, because rapists will rape women anyway,&#8221; she added.

J.K. Rowling Slams Critic Claiming Trans Aren’t ‘A Threat’ When They Use Women's Restroom

Author J.K. Rowling unloaded on British journalist Patrick Strudwick in a lengthy tweet on Monday, accusing him of running with a demonstrably false story about a &#8220;Let Women Speak&#8221; event that took place in Australia.
Strudwick claimed in a piece he published at iNews that the group had &#8220;staged a mass Nazi salute&#8221; – a claim that Rowling said was easily disprovable — but she lamented the fact that he had blocked her on Twitter, making it impossible for her to challenge him directly.
&#8220;As @PatrickStrud has blocked me on here (we&#8217;ve never, to my knowledge, interacted on Twitter or anywhere else) I can&#8217;t challenge him directly about the claim he published in iNews (see below) that a Let Women Speak event in Australia &#8216;staged a mass Nazi salute,'&#8221; Rowling&#8217;s extensive tweet began. &#8220;This is a lie so brazen, so easily disprovable and so libelous, I&#8217;m amazed it was allowed into print by a supposedly reputable news source.&#8221;

Rowling went on to take on radical transgender activists as a group, arguing that actual fascists had seen an opportunity to infiltrate the community and use it to further their own ends.
&#8220;For years now, women and gay people concerned about the erosion of their rights, the dismantling of safeguarding and the escalating threats and violence of trans activists have been called &#8216;fascists&#8217; and &#8216;Nazis&#8217; by people like Strudwick for holding what, until five minutes ago, were solidly left-wing/feminist political positions,&#8221; Rowling continued, declaring, &#8220;Nobody but useful idiots can be genuinely surprised that REAL fascists have spotted a glorious opportunity in trans activism.&#8221;
&#8220;The homophobic, anti-feminist far-right has long held that the left is degenerate, foolish, immoral and authoritarian, and now they can point to the incoherent arguments of the gender ideologues, the bullying tactics of the no-platformers and the swarms of masked men threatening violence against women for wanting to retain single-sex spaces, and crow &#8216;we told you so,'&#8221; Rowling continued, arguing that extreme radicals on both ends of the political spectrum were in favor of the bullying and otherwise authoritarian tactics.
Rowling went on to say that Nazis and radical transgender activists were essentially two sides of the same coin and were using the conflict to &#8220;push their own agendas.&#8221;
&#8220;Both are there in the hope of violence, and neither gives a damn about the women who&#8217;re there to speak out in their own voices, about their own lives, on their own behalf,&#8221; Rowling continued, encouraging the &#8220;Let Women Speak&#8221; event organizers to take action and hold Strudwick accountable.

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/j-k-rowling-levels-critic-who-says-shes-aligned-ideologically-with-stalin" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rowling</a> shared screenshots of two pairs of duplicate stories — in each of which the person tweeting claimed to have a child who had been greatly offended by something Rowling had said or done.

The two tweets — one from @EGA_Kaaa and the other from @MarkoWoat2 — were identical, down to the punctuation.
The second pair of tweets — from @SSEpikal and @SoyzSoy3 — were also identical, even down to the misspelling of the &#8220;Harry Potter&#8221; author&#8217;s name and an extra space after the word &#8220;trans.&#8221;
&#8220;JK Rowing, i have a 12 year old trans  daughter and she cries every time she reads one of your transphobic posts. She is a huge fan of Harry Potter, but but seeing the author of her favorite book series being so bigoted is heartbreaking. Please, J.K, make my daughter happy again.&#8221;

Most recently she made headlines and provoked criticisms for helping to fund a women&#8217;s shelter that would not accept biological males who self-identified as women.
