She was responding to a critic who accused her of 'hateful focus on trans kids'.

But Rowling hit back: 'There are no trans kids. No child is "born in the wrong body". There are only adults like you, prepared to sacrifice the health of minors to bolster your belief in an ideology that will end up wreaking more harm than lobotomies and false memory syndrome combined.'

The post elicited an array of strong comments, most supportive of the 59-year-old.

One person said 'J.K. Is a hero' while another added 'as far as I'm concerned, you ARE using your immense power for good'.

Continued below.

Here was a writer who started out with two nice good-over-evil tales for children which got darker and darker and darker and darker to the point that I wouldn't recommend any adult read.
I can't believe I now fully agree with J.K. Rowling!

I don't believe J K Rowling's wrote these books I reckon she had a Ghost writer, anyway good on her for what she said.

I 100% agree with JK Rowling! She has every right to stand up for her beliefs and speak out against this nonsense!

She is protecting her authentic biological gender against those with faux genders in their mind. Misogyny = the transwomen. invading every aspect of a biological woman’s life.

She is also protecting children from so-called guardians that are all too willing to make decisions that cannot be reversed once those children are mature enough to make those decisions for themselves. It’s undoubtedly child abuse. Good on Ms. Rowling as far as I’m concerned. :clap:

Apparently, nowadays, disagreement = hatred.
You go figure...

Rowling didn't have to chime in on the subject just because she has an (uninformed) opinion.

If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. You know, I learned that as a kid, and I think that's good advice to live by. But Rowling, it seems, has cast her lot with the haters of the world.

If you don't agree with butchering kids, don't speak.

Sorry, we'll continue to say it's bad, evil, and gross.

What's evil is not accepting people as they are, but instead insisting they be something they aren't, just to conform to somebody's narrow ideology.

No, what's evil is taking what God created, male and female he created them, and butchering them as Satan wants because he hates God and mankind. What's evil is working with Satan. Stop doing that.

How do you know that's what Satan wants? It seems to me you are creating a supposed biblical ethic on tenuous grounds.

Because Satan loves lies and delusion, and he loves to destroy what God has created and would rather it be in his own image. Speaking of delusion, I'm done here. Waste of time.

JK Rowling is a second-wave feminist of the Boomer era who still thinks feminism was about exalting women. She didn't get the memo that feminism was merely a bridge to get us to abolishing gender. She and her peers have waged a losing battle against trans for many years on social media.

Isn't that why little children stamp their feet, take their ball and go home? They can't fit in so they demand the whole world adapts to them. A pattern if not corrected by the age of five, become their adult character.

It is obvious the Adversary wants us self centred/serving rather than loving all as self. It wants us living in the default ways of this world rather than by the will of God and the Kingdom. So far, so good.

As a side note, I had the privilege of visiting in the US pre-and post election. Prior to the election the stores seemed to be collection points for the so called alphabet people who would gather in groups in main traffic areas within the establishment, and passive-aggressively flaunt their identities by chatting but blocking customer flows. This obviously the result of their new self declared freedoms. The day after the election they had all disappeared to be replaced by side-arm carrying show-offs. Same mentality, both sides as ignorant as the other flaunting themselves, so yes we humans are more alike than we think.

Well said! She’s no TERF! Just a woman with common sense!

Ironic since trans people cannot accept how they were born as.

She’s not uninformed because she doesn’t agree with the trans agenda. Rather, she is standing up for the vulnerable.

And no, disagreement is not hate.
