“#J.K. Rowling Gets Called Out AGAIN — Yes, For ANOTHER Transphobic Tweet!
\n<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\nJ.K. Rowling<\/strong> sparked controversy again.<\/p>\n

The 56-year-old Harry Potter<\/em> author \u2013 who has previously been criticized for transphobic remarks in the past \u2013 shared an article from The Sunday Times<\/em> on Twitter<\/a><\/strong> that claims the Scottish police will \u201crecord rapes by offenders with male genitalia as being committed by a woman if the attacker \u2018identifies as a female.\u2019\u201d Along with a link to the story, she wrote on Sunday:<\/p>\n

\u201cWar is Peace. Freedom is Slavery. Ignorance is Strength. The Penised Individual Who Raped You Is a Woman.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The tweet immediately received criticism online, including from Queer Eye<\/em> star Jonathan Van Ness<\/strong> who called out Rowling for her \u201cconstant transphobic cherry picked vitriol.\u201d They said:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe biggest threats of violence against women has always been cis gender men. Not trans women, unless Jk\u2019s constant transphobic cherry picked vitriol convinces you otherwise. But as trans women are assaulted, deprived of work, killed, and raped JK is safe in her mansion.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Someone else commented:<\/p>\n

\u201cjk rowling is a bad person w\/ bad politics, a childish understanding of feminism and a truly ugly spirit. it\u2019s embarrassing to look at her tweets. it\u2019s upsetting to watch her harm marginalized people. it\u2019s infuriating to me as a feminist, as an assault survivor and as a woman.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

A third social media user wrote:<\/p>\n

\u201cJK Rowling, a person made famous for writing about wizards and magic and horse-birds and giant murder trees, wants to tell you that trans people don\u2019t exist.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

And another compared the famous writer to one of her villainous characters:<\/p>\n

\u201cImagine inventing as reprehensible a character as Prof. Umbridge and then deciding to be her forever.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

As we mentioned before, this is not the first time that she has come under fire for her harmful statements regarding the transgender community. Rowling first got slammed for transphobic comments when she took issue with an article that used the inclusive phrase \u201cpeople who menstruate\u201d instead of the word \u201cwomen.\u201d She stated at the time:<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m sure there used to be a word for those people. Someone help me out. Wumben? Wimpund? Woomud?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The novelist was lambasted by some Harry Potter<\/em> alums at the time, including Emma Watson<\/strong> and Rupert Grint<\/strong>. Daniel Radcliffe<\/strong> also voiced his support to the community, expressing in a statement through The Trevor Project<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile 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. 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.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Clearly, Jo still hasn\u2019t learned just how harmful and problematic her comments are. What are your thoughts on Rowling\u2019s latest backlash? Let us know in the comments (below).<\/p>\n
