“#J.K. Rowling stands up for feminism against trans extremism<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n COVID-19 may have canceled the Pride Month parades, but LGBT activists have found another way to celebrate: vilifying J.K. Rowling.<\/p>\n

The zillionaire \u201cHarry Potter\u201d author recently earned the wrath of the trans movement when she averred that biological sex is real. After reading an article that referred to \u201cpeople who menstruate,\u201d instead of \u201cwomen,\u201d Rowling took to Twitter<\/a>: \u201c\u200a\u2018People who menstruate.\u2019 I\u2019m sure there used to be a word for those people. Someone help me out. Wumben? Wimpund? Woomud?\u201d She added: \u201cIf sex isn\u2019t real, the lived reality of women globally is erased.\u2009.\u2009. . I do not believe it\u2019s hateful to say so.\u201d<\/p>\n

Her take launched a thousand denunciations from trans activists, who declared Rowling a transphobic, bigoted TERF (\u201ctrans-exclusionary radical feminist\u201d). It\u2019s tough to \u201ccancel\u201d a household name, but her detractors are trying their best. Several employees at Hachette, Rowling\u2019s publishing house, have said they may refuse to work on her forthcoming book, \u201cThe Ickabog.\u201d<\/p>\n

Even the young actors who owe their \u00adcareers and platforms to Rowling publicly condemned her. \u201cTransgender women are women,\u201d announced \u201cPotter\u201d star Daniel Radcliffe. Never mind that Rowling is, as he admits, \u201cunquestionably responsible\u201d for the course his life has taken and, therefore, might deserve a tad more consideration.<\/p>\n

But Rowling was merely noting that the trans agenda \u2014 and the distortions of language it demands \u2014 is a form of misogyny, yet another means of demeaning women. Men who transition don\u2019t share the common experience of biological females. It is an offense against women to claim that they do.<\/p>\n

In a follow-up essay, Rowling elaborated. \u201c\u200a\u2018Woman\u2019 is not a costume. \u2018Woman\u2019 is not an idea in a man\u2019s head.\u2009.\u2009. . The \u2018inclusive\u2019 language that calls female people \u2018menstruators\u2019 and \u2018people with vulvas\u2019 strikes many women as dehumanizing.\u201d Brava.<\/p>\n

The writer revealed that she is a survivor of domestic abuse and sexual assault and so is particularly worried that the trans movement endangers women (Exhibit A: bathroom bills that permit men to enter female-only spaces on the basis of subjective mental states alone). Another concern: the increasing numbers of young girls who try to escape femaleness by transitioning, but then regret it and de-transition \u2014 often after they have irreparably deformed their bodies and reproductive organs.<\/p>\n

\u201cI refuse to bow down to a movement that I believe is doing demonstrable harm in seeking to erode \u2018woman\u2019 as a political and biological class,\u201d she wrote, \u201cand offering cover to predators like few before it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rowling\u2019s commonsense arguments are welcome. But the backlash is, in part, the logical terminus of her own beliefs. Since the \u201cPotter\u201d series<\/a>\u2019 final installment came out 13 years ago, many have called it too \u201cheteronormative,\u201d and Rowling has repeatedly politicized or revised her story to suit the \u00adsexual-liberationist causes du jour \u2014 whether by declaring President Trump worse than her villain Voldemort; stating that Remus Lupin\u2019s affliction as a werewolf was an intentional metaphor for HIV; or disclosing that Hogwarts headmaster Albus Dumbledore was gay.<\/p>\n

In 2007, she revealed the wizard had an \u201cincredibly intense\u201d sexual relationship with another character, Gellert Grindelwald (the recent \u201cFantastic Beasts\u201d films are partially based on this backstory). The 2016 screenplay \u201cHarry Potter and the Cursed Child,\u201d which she co-wrote, featured a homoerotic subplot for Harry\u2019s son \u00adAlbus and the seemingly bisexual Scorpius Malfoy.<\/p>\n

After years of working messages of queer affirmation into her stories, and retroactively revising her tales to reflect progressive causes, it should be little surprise that some expected her to take this just a step further. She has been toeing the woke line for a long time.<\/p>\n

Still, kudos to Rowling for choosing to take a stand here. Though she remains trans-affirming \u2014 \u201cI respect every trans person\u2019s right to live any way that feels authentic and comfortable\u201d \u2014 her critics care not a whit. The mob demands total submission, even from those with a history of queer celebration; nothing less will do.<\/p>\n

Rowling\u2019s defense of women is cheering. More heartening still is how she is exposing the incoherence of trans ideology and its naked hostility to embodied femininity. In the name of liberation, that ideology has wrought cancellation, violence, misogyny, verbal abuse and too many girls consigned to lives of regret or painful de-transitioning.<\/p>\n

Radical freedom, it turns out, looks a lot like bondage.<\/p>\n
