Bestselling author JK Rowling shows herself in a winning mood in her often bitten crusade against many things that refer to as “trans”.
After the decision of the Supreme Court in the UK that a quota for women only applies to “biologically born women”, the inventor of the magic castle saga writes “Harry Potter” via social media:
“It took three extraordinary, persistent Scottish women with an entire army to bring this case to the Supreme Court. I am so proud to know you.”
Rowling on X:
In a recent news on “X” from the night of Thursday (April 17th), JK Rowling with a drink and cigarillo shows himself somewhere under southern sun. Your comment: “I love it when a plan opens!”
The judgment had argued the activist group “For Women Scotland” (FWS), whose credo fluttered on flags in front of the Court of Justice: “Female is a fact.”
Co-founder Susan Smith said in the UK press This legal dispute would have been “a very, very long way”. The background to this is a 2018 law of the Scottish government in Edinburgh about the recognition of trans women as women. Based on the 2010 Equal Opportunities Act; that applies to all areas of life.
“Gender is real”
“Today, the judges said what we always believed, namely that women are protected by their biological gender. Gender is real and women can now feel that services and rooms are intended for women are also for women. We are very grateful to the Supreme Court for this judgment,” said Smith.
Various human rights and LGBTQ organizations immediately reported protest. Amnesty International, for example, explained: The exclusion of transcoors from protection against discrimination against gender contradicts human rights.
Billionaire Rowling has been agitating various “trans” aspects for years and considers the organization “for Woman Scotland” with generous donations. Stars from the “Harry Potter” film such as Emma Watson or Daniel Radcliffe have averted the author.
The UK magazine “The Week” speaks of a “Timeline of JK Rowling’s Transhobic Shift”. An anti-engagement that has rocked up over the years. In March 2018, she had a tweet “liked” that described trans women as “men in women’s dresses”. At that time, a spokeswoman for the author explained this as an accident on the smartphone.
“There’s no lesbian with penis!”
In 2019 she solidarized with the late activist Magdalen Berns, the videos created with titles like “There is no lesbian with penis!”. After further trans-critical tweets and a feud with Daniel Radcliffe, who postulated for her horror “Transgender Women Are Women!”, She wrote an elongated essay in June 2020.
In it, Rowling told about domestic violence and sexual attacks that she experienced. A rarer insight into your psycho-motivation to become so active in this field. In any case, she sympathizes with women who have “concerns about gender -specific spaces”.
On the other hand, she said “to open the doors of toilets and changing rooms for every man who thinks or feels to be a woman”. She also showed sympathy for the Terf movement, abbreviation for Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminist.
Finally “into action” as an active supporter, Rowling then brought Scottish legislation, which has now been overturned by the superordinate Supreme Court of the United Kingdom in London. It is hardly to be expected that Rowling has brought its increasingly irreconcilable struggle to an end, especially against transformed men.
