English actress Helena Bonham Carter is speaking out against cancel culture, especially as it relates to her frequent co-star Johnny Depp and author <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jk-rowling">J.K. Rowling</a>.
Carter, 56, spoke with <a href="https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/helena-bonham-carter-good-on-young-men-for-finding-middle-aged-beauty-sexy-5smkzmnm3">The Times</a> about her feelings on Depp and Rowling being vilified by both the public and the media. 
“I hate <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/cancel-culture">cancel culture</a>. It has become quite hysterical and there&#8217;s a kind of witch-hunt and a lack of understanding,&#8221; Carter said.
The actress said Depp was &#8220;completely vindicated&#8221; following his defamation trial against ex-wife Amber Heard, which ended with a Virginia jury awarding him $10 million. Carter starred in seven movies with Depp, the godfather of Carter&#8217;s children she shared with her ex, filmmaker Tim Burton.
The interviewer asked if the trial was indicative of the &#8220;pendulum of #MeToo swinging back,&#8221; to which Carter replied that she thinks &#8220;(Heard) got on that pendulum. That’s the problem with these things – that people will jump on the bandwagon because it’s the trend and to be the poster girl for it.&#8221;
As for Rowling, Carter said the backlash is so extreme partly because the billionaire “Harry Potter” author is so famous. She thinks the ire &#8220;wouldn&#8217;t be so great&#8221; if Rowling wasn&#8217;t &#8220;the most phenomenal success.&#8221;
&#8220;I think there’s a lot of envy unfortunately and the need to tear people down that motors a lot of this canceling,&#8221; the “Sweeney Todd” star said. &#8220;It’s horrendous, a load of bollocks. I think she has been hounded. It’s been taken to the extreme, the judgmentalism of people.&#8221;
&#8220;She’s allowed her opinion, particularly if she’s suffered abuse,” Carter continued. “Everybody carries their own history of trauma and forms their opinions from that trauma and you have to respect where people come from and their pain. You don’t all have to agree on everything — that would be insane and boring. She’s not meaning it aggressively, she’s just saying something out of her own experience.&#8221;
The actress’s statements are the opposite of what most actors from the “Harry Potter” franchise are saying. Many of them came out against Rowling, saying they stand with transgender people and simultaneously disavowed the franchise creator for saying she believes in the biological reality of women.
Most recently, actor Daniel Radcliffe said it was important to weigh in on the transgender argument and take sides against Rowling.
“The reason I was felt very, very much as though I needed to say something when I did was because, particularly since finishing ‘Potter,’ I’ve met so many queer and trans kids and young people who had a huge amount of identification with Potter on that,” the 33-year-old actor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/daniel-radcliffe-choosing-sides-against-j-k-rowling-in-trans-argument-was-important">told</a> IndieWire.
“And so seeing them hurt on that day I was like, I wanted them to know that not everybody in the franchise felt that way,” Radcliffe said.

A freelance writer was assigned to write a hit-piece on <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jk-rowling" target="_blank" rel="noopener">J.K. Rowling</a>, but after researching the controversy over the author&#8217;s purportedly &#8220;transphobic&#8221; tweets, she came out in support of her.
E.J. Rosetta, who describes herself as a &#8220;lesbian writer&#8221; and has bylines in various LGBT and leftwing publications, was asked to write an article about the famed children&#8217;s book author J.K. Rowling’s &#8220;transphobic&#8221; statements. But after several months of research reading her work, Rosetta came to the realization that she shared Rowling&#8217;s position about the importance of protecting women&#8217;s sex-based rights and took to Twitter to share her revelation.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
Right, I’m done.
3 months ago, I was tasked with writing an article detailing “20 Transphobic JK Rowling Quotes We’re Done With”
After 12 weeks of reading her books, tweets, full essay &amp; finding the context of these “quotes”, I’ve not found a single truly transphobic message🧵
&mdash; E J Rosetta (@ejrosetta) <a href="https://twitter.com/ejrosetta/status/1595060392031657984?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 22, 2022</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
&#8220;Right, I’m done,&#8221; Rosetta&#8217;s tweet thread began. &#8220;3 months ago, I was tasked with writing an article detailing &#8217;20 Transphobic JK Rowling Quotes We’re Done With.&#8217; After 12 weeks of reading her books, tweets, full essay and finding the context of these &#8216;quotes&#8217;, I’ve not found a single truly transphobic message.&#8221;
Rosetta, a London-based freelancer, said she &#8220;peaked&#8221; during her three months of &#8220;dedicated research&#8221; into the debate between those advocating for and against the inclusion of biological men into women&#8217;s protected spaces.
&#8220;In many cases, one group&#8217;s rights are being sacrificed for the other, with the most vulnerable women often paying the price,&#8221; said Rosetta. &#8220;Here in Britain, we always want to support both sides but realise that in some cases (like [Domestic Violence] Shelters), that is impossible.&#8221;
Rosetta found a new appreciation for Rowling, who she says has been unfairly labeled an &#8220;intolerable transphobe&#8221; for standing up for women.
&#8220;JK saw the loopholes being created and knew that women needed a voice,&#8221; said Rosetta. &#8220;So instead of sitting back and wishing everyone well, said &#8216;It’s got to be me, hasn’t it?&#8217; She did something terrifying and amazing and used her voice, I suspect knowing damn well what was to come. That’s bravery.&#8221;
Commenters applauded Rosetta for her own bravery, and warned she would face an onslaught of vitriol from activists. Rosetta <a href="https://twitter.com/ejrosetta/status/1595071714790150146?s=20&amp;t=9GxH5s5g7tI51xPDKDbA4w" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> that she has been &#8220;ignoring frantic phone calls&#8221; from her agent &#8220;demanding&#8221; she take the post down, but she said &#8220;no.&#8221;
Rosetta has bylines in many pro-LGBT publications including Curve US, DIVA, PinkNews, g3, a weekly column with WhenSallyMetSally.co.uk, and the Huffington Post. When a commenter asked if she was concerned she may be dropped from some of the pro-trans outlets she writes for, Rosetta <a href="https://twitter.com/ejrosetta/status/1595074362851344390?s=20&amp;t=9GxH5s5g7tI51xPDKDbA4w" target="_blank" rel="noopener">indicated</a> that severing ties with them would be an &#8220;unintended benefit.&#8221;
When asked what prevented her from coming to this realization sooner, Rosetta answered that &#8220;groupthink&#8221; played a role in suppressing her critical faculties.
&#8220;Group think, brainwashing and listening unquestioningly to the voices of my LGBT peers over critical thought and doing my own research/thinking,&#8221; <a href="https://twitter.com/ejrosetta/status/1595082401474301953?s=20&amp;t=9GxH5s5g7tI51xPDKDbA4w" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> Rosetta. &#8220;5 years I have spent nodding along while JK was buried, and for that I apologise. I’m glad to report I’m thinking for myself again now.&#8221;
Rosetta admonished those who she now believes are responsible for &#8220;chucking out clickbait and stirring up hate.&#8221;
&#8220;Shame on those who followed that propaganda without critical thought,&#8221; said Rosetta. &#8220;You&#8217;re burning the wrong witch. I stand with JK Rowling.&#8221;

A Warner Bros. exec confirmed that he would like to start making more popular franchise movies, including “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/harry-potter" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Harry Potter</a>,” and mentioned he wants series creator <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jk-rowling" target="_blank" rel="noopener">J.K. Rowling</a> involved. 
“We’re going to focus on franchises,” <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/warner-bros">Warner Bros.</a> Discovery CEO David Zaslav said during an investor’s call Thursday, <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/harry-potter-more-movies-j-k-rowling-1235255333/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">per</a> The Hollywood Reporter. 
“We haven’t had a Superman movie in 13 years. We haven’t done a Harry Potter in 15 years. The DC movies and the Harry Potter movies provided a lot of the profits for Warner Bros. …over the past 25 years.”
Zaslav mentioned that the studio owns the rights to “Lord of the Rings” and “Harry Potter,” so they’d like to expand on those franchises, “if we can do something with J.K. on ‘Harry Potter’ going forward.”
Warner Bros&#8217; eight-movie &#8220;Harry Potter&#8221; franchise earned $7.7 billion in box office revenue from 2001 to 2011. The studio has also worked with Rowling on the spinoff series “Fantastic Beasts.&#8221; THR noted that the most recent film, “The Secrets of Dumbledore,” earned more than $405 million following its April premiere.
Rowling has become very controversial in the public sphere thanks to her stance on the trans agenda and her willingness to speak against it. The author has had many actors from the film franchise and former colleagues <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/j-k-rowling-vs-the-trans-agenda-heres-what-harry-potter-cast-members-have-said-about-the-ongoing-battle" target="_blank" rel="noopener">turn on her</a> because of her views.
Most recently, the author was not part of a “Harry Potter” reunion special, which premiered in January of this year. Rowling said “no one said don’t come,” but she still chose not to participate in “Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts.”
“Yeah, I was asked to be on that and I decided I didn’t want to do it,” she said during a podcast <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HdKPOwCR_sg" target="_blank" rel="noopener">interview</a> at the time. “I thought it was about the films more than the books, you know, quite rightly. I mean, that was what the anniversary was about.”
By that point, many of the younger stars had been distancing themselves from Rowling amid the trans rights controversy, saying they disagreed with her stance. Daniel Radcliffe recently reiterated his position.
“The reason I was felt very, very much as though I needed to say something when I did was because, particularly since finishing ‘Potter,’ I’ve met so many queer and trans kids and young people who had a huge amount of identification with Potter on that,” Radcliffe told IndieWire during an interview.

Author <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jk-rowling" target="_blank" rel="noopener">J.K. Rowling</a> became a billionaire thanks to her brilliantly conceived story of a young wizard named <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/harry-potter" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Harry Potter</a>. 
Not too long ago, the book and movie franchise had one of the most dedicated fandoms in the world, with Rowling as their beloved matriarch. But then the British born author made the fatal error of veering from the mainstream narrative regarding transgender ideology. In no time, Rowling became a target of effusive hatred normally reserved for conservatives.
Fans came after the “Harry Potter” creator, blasting her publicly on social media and private messaging death threats. Rowling has leftist views on most social issues. But insisting that biological men could not become women earned her the scorn of so many fans and former supporters.
Among those were the movie stars who arguably owed their careers to the success of the “Harry Potter” franchise. While most turned against Rowling, ignoring the more sinister threats she was receiving daily, others were brave enough to stand up for her, even when they claimed to disagree with her stance on the trans issue.
It all started in 2020 when the “Harry Potter” creator tweeted the link to an article that referred 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?” Rowling <a href="https://twitter.com/jk_rowling/status/1269382518362509313?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a>. 
“If sex isn’t real, there’s no same-sex attraction. If sex isn’t real, the lived reality of women globally is erased. I know and love trans people, but erasing the concept of sex removes the ability of many to meaningfully discuss their lives. It isn’t hate to speak the truth,” she continued in a follow-up.
“The idea that women like me, who’ve been empathetic to trans people for decades, feeling kinship because they’re vulnerable in the same way as women – ie, to male violence – ‘hate’ trans people because they think sex is real and has lived consequences – is a nonsense,” Rowling wrote, confirming that while she doesn’t believe in discrimination against trans-identifying people, she also doesn’t “believe it’s hateful” to observe biological reality.
Rowling’s tweets got her labeled as a TERF, which stands for “trans-exclusionary radical feminist.” Then the “Harry Potter” actors began to turn on her.
British star Daniel Radcliffe played the titular character in the film series and decided to pen an essay for LGBTQ nonprofit The Trevor Project in the wake of Rowling’s viral tweets.
&#8220;While Jo is unquestionably responsible for the course my life has taken, as someone who has been honored to work with and continues to contribute to The Trevor Project for the last decade, and just as a human being, I feel compelled to say something at this moment,&#8221; Radcliffe wrote in 2020.
“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 health care associations who have far more expertise on this subject matter than either Jo or I.&#8221;
The 33-year-old actor doubled down on that sentiment in 2022. “The reason I was felt very, very much as though I needed to say something when I did was because, particularly since finishing ‘Potter,’ I’ve met so many queer and trans kids and young people who had a huge amount of identification with Potter on that,” Radcliffe told IndieWire during a recent <a href="https://www.indiewire.com/2022/11/daniel-radcliffe-jk-rowling-transgender-harry-potter-1234778156/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">interview</a>.
“And so seeing them hurt on that day I was like, I wanted them to know that not everybody in the franchise felt that way… I don’t think I would’ve been able to look myself in the mirror had I not said anything. But it’s not mine to guess what’s going on in someone else’s head.”
Some of Radcliffe’s co-stars felt the same way.
“I firmly stand with the trans community,” Rupert Grint, the actor who played Ron Weasley, <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/harry-potters-rupert-grint-responds-to-j-k-rowlings-comments/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in a statement to Us Weekly in June 2020. “Trans women are women. Trans men are men. We should all be entitled to live with love and without judgment.”
&#8220;Trans people are who they say they are and deserve to live their lives without being constantly questioned or told they aren’t who they say they are,&#8221; Emma Watson, who played Hermione, <a href="https://twitter.com/EmmaWatson/status/1270826851070619649" target="_blank" rel="noopener">shared</a> on Twitter in June 2020.
“I want my trans followers to know that I and so many other people around the world see you, respect you and love you for who you are.”
“Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them” star Eddie Redmayne pledged his allegiance to the trans community but also said critics were being way too hard on Rowling.
&#8220;As someone who has worked with both J.K. Rowling and members of the trans community, I wanted to make it absolutely clear where I stand,&#8221; the actor said in a statement in June 2020. 
&#8220;I disagree with Jo’s comments. Trans women are women, trans men are men and non-binary identities are valid. I would never want to speak on behalf of the community but I do know that my dear transgender friends and colleagues are tired of this constant questioning of their identities, which all too often results in violence and abuse. They simply want to live their lives peacefully, and it’s time to let them do so.&#8221;
But in a follow-up, Redmayne told <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-8770819/BAZ-BAMIGBOYE-Eddie-Redmayne-ready-stand-rights-blistering-courtroom-drama.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Daily Mail</a> that the “vitriol” aimed at Rowling on social media was “absolutely disgusting.” He said, “&#8217;Similarly, there continues to be a hideous torrent of abuse towards trans people online and out in the world that is devastating.”
Actor Ralph Fiennes, who plays Lord Voldemort in the “Harry Potter” franchise, has been one of Rowling’s staunchest defenders. 
“I can’t understand the vitriol directed at her,” Fiennes said in a March 2021 interview with The Telegraph. “I can understand the heat of an argument, but I find this age of accusation and the need to condemn irrational. I find the level of hatred that people express about views that differ from theirs, and the violence of language toward others, disturbing.”
He expressed similar sentiments during an October 2022 interview with The New York Times, as The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/its-appalling-even-lord-voldemort-has-had-enough-of-the-verbal-abuse-hurled-at-j-k-rowling" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. 
“J.K. Rowling has written these great books about empowerment, about young children finding themselves as human beings. It’s about how you become a better, stronger, more morally centered human being. The verbal abuse directed at her is disgusting, it’s appalling,” Fiennes told the outlet.
And he wasn’t the only one. &#8220;For all that she has said some very controversial things, I was not going to be jumping to stab her in the front — or back — without a conversation with her, which I&#8217;ve not managed to have yet,&#8221; Jason Isaacs from “Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets” <a href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/films/0/jason-isaacs-interview-seeing-world-3-ft-perspex-wall/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> The Telegraph in January.
Actress Evanna Lynch, who played Luna Lovegood, said she was &#8220;so saddened to see trans people feeling abandoned by the HP community&#8221; but stressed her respect for Rowling.
&#8220;I think it’s irresponsible to discuss such a delicate topic over Twitter through fragmented thoughts and I wish Jo wouldn’t. That said, as a friend and admirer of Jo I can’t forget what a generous and loving person she is,&#8221; she tweeted in 2020, agreeing with the idea that “trans women are women.”
&#8220;I&#8217;ve talked to all the cast, they all have great respect for her even if they don&#8217;t agree with her beliefs. I really strongly disagree with the narrative that there&#8217;s a rift,&#8221; Lynch said of the subject in January 2022. &#8220;She has her beliefs and she&#8217;s doing her thing. We all have strong beliefs and it&#8217;s been a very difficult conversation. I want there to be healing and I don&#8217;t want us to keep fighting.&#8221;
Robbie Coltrane, who played Hagrid in the “Harry Potter” movies, also came to Rowling’s defense prior to his death in October 2022.
&#8220;I don’t think what she said was offensive, really,&#8221; he <a href="https://people.com/movies/harry-potter-actor-robbie-coltrane-defends-j-k-rowlings-comments-about-trans-people/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> Radio Times in 2020. “I don’t know why, but there’s a whole Twitter generation of people who hang around waiting to be offended. They wouldn’t have won the war, would they?&#8221;
&#8220;That’s me talking like a grumpy old man, but you just think, ‘Oh, get over yourself. Wise up, stand up straight, and carry on.’ I don’t want to get involved in all of that because of all the hate mail and all that sh**, which I don’t need at my time of life,&#8221; he concluded.

J.K. Rowling Vs. The Trans Agenda: Here’s What ‘Harry Potter’ Cast Members Have Said About The Ongoing Battle

Readers Pass

Daniel Radcliffe is doubling down on his original stance against “Harry Potter” creator <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jk-rowling">J.K. Rowling</a>, who has been one of the few celebrities to express her disagreement with the transgender community.
Radcliffe, an English actor best known for portraying the main character in the “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/harry-potter">Harry Potter</a>” film franchise, had previously been close with the British billionaire author. However, like many fans and some co-stars, he’s tried to distance himself after Rowling stood up to people demanding the world accept that men could become women.
“The reason I was felt very, very much as though I needed to say something when I did was because, particularly since finishing ‘Potter,’ I’ve met so many queer and trans kids and young people who had a huge amount of identification with Potter on that,” the 33-year-old actor told <a href="https://www.indiewire.com/2022/11/daniel-radcliffe-jk-rowling-transgender-harry-potter-1234778156/">IndieWire</a> during a recent interview.
“And so seeing them hurt on that day I was like, I wanted them to know that not everybody in the franchise felt that way,” Radcliffe said. 
“It was really important as I’ve worked with the [<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/lgbtq">LGBTQ</a> non-profit suicide prevention organization] Trevor Project for more than 10 years, and so I don’t think I would’ve been able to look myself in the mirror had I not said anything,” continued. “But it’s not mine to guess what’s going on in someone else’s head.”
The “something” he’s referring to is an open letter published in 2020 which announced his support for trans-identifying individuals.
“It’s clear that we need to do more to support transgender and nonbinary people, not invalidate their identities, and not cause further harm,” he wrote at the time. 
While other “Harry Potter” co-stars, including Emma Watson and Rupert Grint, tried to distance themselves from Rowling, at least one actor came to her defense. The author’s comments on trans issues have led to extreme hatred and threats via social media, which Lord Voldemort actor Ralph Fiennes said was “appalling.” 
“The verbal abuse directed at her is disgusting, it’s appalling. I mean, I can understand a viewpoint that might be angry at what she says about women. But it’s not some obscene, über-right-wing fascist,” Fiennes said in October, as The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/its-appalling-even-lord-voldemort-has-had-enough-of-the-verbal-abuse-hurled-at-j-k-rowling">reported</a>.
“It’s just a woman saying, ‘I’m a woman and I feel I’m a woman and I want to be able to say that I’m a woman.’ And I understand where she’s coming from. Even though I’m not a woman,” he continued.

Daniel Radcliffe: Choosing Sides Against J.K. Rowling In Trans Argument Was 'Important'

Actor Ralph Fiennes made it clear that he stood with &#8220;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/harry-potter" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Harry Potter</a>&#8221; creator <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jk-rowling" target="_blank" rel="noopener">J.K. Rowling</a>, decrying the verbal abuse directed at her in recent months as &#8220;appalling&#8221; and &#8220;disgusting.&#8221;
Fiennes, who brought Rowling&#8217;s villain Lord Voldemort to life on the big screen, said in a recent New York Times interview that while people were certainly free to disagree with or challenge the author&#8217;s views, he didn&#8217;t believe that her comments about women rose to the level of vitriol that has been aimed at her by angry members of the transgender community.
&#8220;The verbal abuse directed at her is disgusting, it’s appalling. I mean, I can understand a viewpoint that might be angry at what she says about women. But it’s not some obscene, über-right-wing fascist,&#8221; Fiennes said.
&#8220;It’s just a woman saying, ‘I’m a woman and I feel I’m a woman and I want to be able to say that I’m a woman.’ And I understand where she’s coming from. Even though I’m not a woman,&#8221; Fiennes continued.
Fiennes is not the only &#8220;Harry Potter&#8221; actor to <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/harry-potter-star-defends-j-k-rowling-over-transgender-controversy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">defend Rowling</a>, however. Miriam Margolyes — who played Hogwarts&#8217; Professor Sprout in the films — said earlier this year, &#8220;There isn’t one answer to all these trans questions.&#8221;
&#8220;I think the vituperation JK Rowling has received is misplaced. I don’t know her at all. I admire her as a human being. She’s a generous woman, she’s a brilliant writer,&#8221; she added.
Rowling has faced considerable backlash over her stance on transgender rights and her repeated assertions that the absolute acceptance of trans-women as &#8220;women&#8221; would inevitably blur the lines until biological women and what it meant to be a woman were erased entirely.
The &#8220;Harry Potter&#8221; <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/twitter-deletes-trans-activist-video-with-j-k-rowling-death-threat-after-initially-saying-it-didnt-violate-safety-policies/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">series author</a> has often been labeled a Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminist (TERF) for pushing back on issues like allowing biological males who self-identify as women access to female-only spaces in schools and jails.
&#8220;When you throw open the doors of bathrooms and changing rooms to any man who believes or feels he’s a woman – and, as I’ve said, gender confirmation certificates may now be granted without any need for surgery or hormones – then you open the door to any and all men who wish to come inside. That is a simple truth,&#8221; Rowling said in a 2020 essay.
In addition to the near-constant outpouring of hatred on social media, the author has often spoken out about receiving a <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/j-k-rowling-speaks-out-after-doxxing-so-many-death-threats-i-could-paper-the-house/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">number of threats</a> as well.
&#8220;I’ve now received so many death threats I could paper the house with them, and I haven’t stopped speaking out,&#8221; she said.

Creator and actress <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/mindy-kaling-tells-parents-to-pay-for-college-daughters-to-freeze-eggs-promotes-single-motherhood" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mindy Kaling</a> became a target of a left-wing cancel mob last week for &#8220;liking&#8221; a tweet from &#8220;Harry Potter&#8221; author <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/billionaire-j-k-rowling-delivers-scathing-reply-to-fan-who-asks-how-do-you-sleep-at-night" target="_blank" rel="noopener">J.K. Rowling</a>, who&#8217;s been critical of the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/videos/what-is-a-woman" target="_blank" rel="noopener">transgender movement&#8217;s erasure of women</a>.
&#8220;The Office&#8221; writer on Twitter liked, and then un-liked, a tweet from Rowling mocking a critic who asked her how she can &#8220;sleep at night.&#8221; Rowling snarked, &#8220;I read my most recent royalty cheques and find the pain goes away pretty quickly.&#8221;

Folks online quickly ripped into Kaling over the perceived support. &#8220;Mindy Kaling is a terf in case you needed another reason to dislike her,&#8221; one person scolded.
A “TERF,” which stands for &#8220;trans-exclusionary radical feminist,&#8221; is a derogatory term for women who challenge the transgender movement.

The tweet is not currently &#8220;liked&#8221; on Kaling&#8217;s Twitter account, and the actress has not directly responded to the criticism.
However, Kaling did &#8220;like&#8221; a tweet that speculated her apparent brief support of Rowling was the result of her child using her phone.
&#8220;[Mindy Kaling] did not like that on purpose,&#8221; the tweet reads. &#8220;She is also the parent of small children. 80% chance her kid had her phone. My kid was playing with my phone last week and almost accidentally posted a wedding photo of me and my ex-husband on Facebook.&#8221;

Kaling, who routinely touts her &#8216;woke&#8217; bona fides, made waves over the summer when she promoted <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/shapiro-debates-what-causes-black-murder-hank-berrien">single motherhood</a> and encouraged parents to pay for their college daughters to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/study-feminism-leaving-wake-unhappy-unmarried-amanda-prestigiacomo">freeze their eggs</a>.
“I waited until I had the means and that made all the difference,” she <a href="https://www.marieclaire.com/celebrity/mindy-kaling-interview-2022/">told</a> Marie Claire magazine. “The choice to have a child—by yourself, on your own terms — it was the best part of my life.”
Kaling, <a href="https://netflixlife.com/2022/08/10/mindy-kaling-net-worth-how-much-never-have-i-ever-creator-worth/">reportedly</a> worth $35 million, had her eggs frozen and became a single mother in her late thirties. She’s still single with two children.

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jk-rowling" target="_blank" rel="noopener">J.K. Rowling</a> had the perfect response for one <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/twitter" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Twitter</a> critic who asked her how she slept at night.
The billionaire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/celebrities" target="_blank" rel="noopener">best-selling author</a> has become a controversial figure in the Hollywood community due to her refusal to accept the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/transgender" target="_blank" rel="noopener">trans agenda</a> that fellow leftist celebrities readily embrace. This has gotten Rowling labeled as a “TERF,” or trans-exclusionary radical feminist, despite her having progressive views on almost every other topic.
Many “Harry Potter” fans feel conflicted about continuing to support the beloved franchise due to Rowling openly criticizing trans activists. But despite the public outcry, the British novelist is still doing just fine financially.
“How do you sleep at night knowing you’ve lost a whole audience from buying your books,” one fan asked on social media. Rowling tweeted an epic comeback, saying, “I read my most recent royalty cheques and find the pain goes away pretty quickly.”

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
The comments were flooded with support for the author from fans who either agree with her views or don’t let their disagreements stand in the way of their Harry Potter fandom.
“My A* English grade was 100% achieved through my love of reading Harry Potter from when it was first released. Growing up and being a similar age with the releases was so wonderful,” one follower <a href="https://twitter.com/millenialkez/status/1580645510356295680" target="_blank" rel="noopener">shared</a>. “It definitely sparked my love of literature!”
“You’ve made my day,” Rowling replied with a heart emoji.
“I have to say that you deserve every penny you receive,” another fan wrote. “My nephew, like many boys, was struggling in his English classes but after discovering (and devouring!) your books he obtained a solid pass and has never looked back having obtained a GCSE that every child needs to progress.”
“That’s genuinely the most amazing thing I could ever hear. Send him massive love from me!” the “Harry Potter” creator shared.
Earlier in the month, Rowling blasted critics who identified her as right-wing simply for questioning the trans agenda. “I say this as someone who’s been on the liberal left all her adult life: own goals don’t come any more spectacular than ‘if you care about child safeguarding you must be right wing,’” Rowling tweeted at the time, as The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/liberal-left-all-her-adult-life-j-k-rowling-slams-idea-shes-right-wing" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.

Author <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jk-rowling" target="_blank" rel="noopener">J.K.

Rowling, the famed &#8220;Harry Potter&#8221; author who has been the target of transgender rights activists because of her defense of biological women, made several comments on Twitter Friday, explaining that &#8220;future historians&#8221; will be able to trace the path of the culture as it relates to radical gender ideology.

‘Liberal Left All Her Adult Life’: J.K. Rowling Slams Idea She’s ‘Right Wing’

'Liberal Left All Her Adult Life’: J.K. Rowling Slams Idea She’s ‘Right Wing'

Gender Identity

An English broadcaster known as Great Britain’s first transgender national television newsreader urged followers to sue famed “Harry Potter” author J.K. Rowling for ripping a transgender children&#8217;s charity. Rowling issued a warning shot of her own, daring anyone to take such action.
Rowling had prompted the threat from India Willoughby by commenting on a board of trustees member who resigned had previously spoken at an &#8220;academic&#8221; conference in 2011 promoting support for pedophiles.
“Someone really needs to take legal action against JK Rowling,” Willoughby wrote on Tuesday. “This is off the scale. The GC tactic seems to be to drown the trans charity Mermaids in a tsunami of innuendo and lies &#8211; throw a stack of mud, some of it will stick.”

&#8220;<a href="http://www.dailywire.com/topic/harry-potter/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Harry Potter</a>&#8221; author <a href="http://www.dailywire.com/topic/jk-rowling/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">J.K. Rowling</a> laid into &#8220;genderists&#8221; in a brief Twitter thread on Wednesday, slamming them for making excuses when it was revealed that a &#8220;paedophilia apologist&#8221; had been allowed to sit on the board of trustees at a transgender children&#8217;s charity.
Rowling, who often leans to the left on the political spectrum, has drawn a hard line at radical <a href="http://www.dailywire.com/topic/gender-identity/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">gender theory</a> — which she argues erases women — and has been labeled a Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminist (TERF) for her troubles.
The author still speaks out on the subject regularly, despite receiving numerous threats. On Wednesday, she responded to reports that Dr. Jacob Breslow — an associate professor of gender and sexuality at the London School of Economics — had resigned from the transgender children&#8217;s charity Mermaids after people became aware that he had once spoken at a B4U-ACT conference promoting support for pedophiles.
&#8220;I note the genderists are now arguing that it doesn&#8217;t matter that a paedophilia apologist was a trustee of a trans children&#8217;s charity, because he was &#8216;only one.&#8217; You know, I thought things were pretty bad when you were arguing to put convicted rapists in women&#8217;s jails,&#8221; Rowling began.

&#8220;When you shrugged off masked men roughing up lesbian protestors and tried to shout down detransitioners talking about what was done to them by ideologically-captured doctors,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;Women, gay people and vulnerable kids have suffered real harm and you? You cheered it all on.&#8221;
&#8220;You still prefer willful blindness and four word mantras to considering you might have got this badly wrong,&#8221; Rowling said, going on to note that many of the activists had become the very thing they so often professed to hate.
&#8220;You became part of an authoritarian, misogynist, homophobic movement and you didn&#8217;t even notice,&#8221; she said. &#8220;Enjoy the sense of your own righteousness while you can. It won&#8217;t last.&#8221;

Perfect example. The problem isn&#39;t that a man who wrote sympathetically about orgasming &#39;on or with&#39; a child was made trustee of a children&#39;s charity, but that the TERFs might &#39;twist&#39; his appointment. Then straight back to the self-soothing mantras, with a glow of inner virtue. <a href="https://t.co/KwDWSK2B79">pic.twitter.com/KwDWSK2B79</a>

Rowling later added to the thread, sharing a screenshot of one of the comments she had received. The comment read: &#8220;Even if he was (and his appointment as a Mermaid trustee was stupid given the level of scrutiny and how everything is twisted by TERFs) that doesn’t stop trans men being men, trans women being women, and non-binary people being non-binary people.&#8221;
Rowling responded by saying, &#8220;Perfect example. The problem isn&#8217;t that a man who wrote sympathetically about orgasming &#8216;on or with&#8217; a child was made trustee of a children&#8217;s charity, but that the TERFs might &#8216;twist&#8217; his appointment.

J.K. Rowling Takes Apart 'Genderists' For Excusing 'Paedophilia Apologist' Trustee Of Children's Charity

Pedophilia

A <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/canada" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Canadian nurse</a> who publicly supported famed “Harry Potter” author <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jk-rowling" target="_blank" rel="noopener">J.K. Rowling</a> and insists that men cannot become women, is at risk of losing her job as she faces a hearing from a national medical board.
As far back as November 2020, Amy Eileen Hamm, a single mother with two young sons, has faced an investigation from the British Columbia College of Nurses and Midwives (BCCNM) after two people had lodged complained about her, according to the nurse. She is now in the <a href="https://www.bccnm.ca/Public/complaints/Pages/Notice.aspx?NoticeID=790" target="_blank" rel="noopener">midst</a> of a three-day hearing, after which she will face another hearing in October.
“I was denounced with the slur ‘TERF’ (trans-exclusionary radical feminist), which was in 2016,” Hamm wrote in April 2022 in <a href="https://quillette.com/2022/04/08/im-being-investigated-by-the-british-columbia-college-of-nurses-because-i-believe-biological-sex-is-real/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Quillette</a>. The term “TERF” has also been used by transgender activists to target Rowling, for whom Hamm helped put up a billboard expressing her support, simply writing, “I ♥ JK Rowling.”
Once she became aware of the threat to her livelihood, Hamm initially hired attorney Lisa Bildy, then with Canada’s Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms explaining, “I had no assurances that my union-provided legal representative wouldn’t be ideologically sympathetic with my accusers.”
“And as it turned out, this was a good call: My province’s nurses’ union has since lobbied the Canadian government (without, to my knowledge, consulting members) to pass a controversial bill that threatens healthcare workers with prison time if they do not immediately ‘affirm’ the stated gender of any patient, no matter how young,&#8221; she added.
Hamm is adamant about her opposition to the radical gender theory sweeping Canada and the U.S.
“Men are not women. Humans are a dimorphic species,” Hamm wrote in her April article. “Women and men are biologically different from one another. Women and girls have sex-based rights as a result of those differences. Those rights are under threat. This is the truth. It has always been the truth. Speaking the truth should not be a punishable offense.”
The Justice Centre issued a July 2021 press <a href="https://www.jccf.ca/nurse-being-investigated-by-college-of-nurses-for-her-gender-critical-views/">release</a> expressing concern that activists are &#8220;weaponizing&#8221; agencies that regulate professions in a bid to force people to adopt radical ideologies. The agencies use lengthy disciplinary procedures, even when the complaints are from activists and not clients or, in Hamm&#8217;s case, patients, the group said.
“The Justice Centre’s submissions defend the right of health professionals to express their opinions on matters of policy in the public square and argue that everyone is entitled to freedom of thought, belief, opinion, and expression, as guaranteed by the Charter—including health professionals,” they added.
Hamm has said her case was important for the future of nurses and midwives throughout Canada.
“If I win my case, I believe that the dividends will accrue to nurses and midwives all across my province, and maybe even the whole country. The precedent will help ensure that we can call out gender-identity ideology without fear of reprisal or loss of livelihood,” Hamm said.
Just days before the initial hearing, Hamm has not been reticent to make her views known.

Wednesday morning when my hearing starts I will be thinking of the kids forcibly exposed to the perverted Ontario teacher; and the women locked up with a rapist, necrophiliac killer; and the women who might flee domestic violence and end up sheltered with males.

“This is not a normal disciplinary hearing,&#8221; Bildy said in her opening submission for the hearing, <a href="https://thepostmillennial.com/nurse-faces-trial-in-bc-for-saying-biological-sex-is-real">according</a> to The Post Millenial. &#8220;You will not hear about a nurse who sexually abused a patient … who mishandled narcotics … or who assaulted elderly patients. You will hear about a nurse with over 10 years experience, who has an exemplary career … and has never once had a patient complaint against her.&#8221;
