JK Rowling says there are 'no trans kids' and says NO child is born in the wrong body in response to online critic who accused her of 'hateful focus'

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

She's gone beyond merely not agreeing. She's denigrated and attacked trans people, their identities, and in some cases cast aspersions on their character.

Considering they tried and continue to try to ruin her based on her very first completely normal and tame opinion on this, and now they're calling for her to be assassinated, your outrage is grossly misplaced. To be expected.

Lots of people are uncomfortable with trans people. But they don't all get on Social Media and use their fame as a soap box to denigrate others.

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'.

Writing fiction like people have done for centuries is totally the same as real life butchering.

I disagree. She doesn’t want her gender erased.

That's definitely part of it. Destroying wicked imagination is part of it, replacing it with something Godly is the other part.

Which is simply self interest over interest in others, right?

That is one way to simplify it for sure. There are other ways of looking at it ... However, looking at all wickedness as an extension of selfishness, tends to cover most ground.

I know Paul blamed Eve, but Adam was the actual ruler. I'm willing to look at mutual guilt for this, but Adam was the one who introduced sin into the world. He didn't have to listen to Eve, but he did, it's all on him.
