JK Rowling issues perfect response to woke keyboard warrior who tells author, 'My kids and I enjoyed burning your books'



Author J.K. Rowling — who has become a favorite target of leftists who attack her for speaking out against the transgender agenda — just issued the perfect response to a woke keyboard warrior who told the author on X, "My kids and I enjoyed burning your books."

That wasn't all the leftist detractor said. While Rowling blotted out the individual's information in the post, leaving only the user's rainbow emoji and the date and time of the post, she included the full message.

"You are a stupid and horrible woman," the individual declared. "My kids and I enjoyed burning your books and roasting marshmallows over your pathetic books."

Rowling also is known for her cutting wit amid such sociopolitical dustups, and she didn't disappoint here: "I get the same royalties whether you read them or burn them. Enjoy your marshmallows!" Rowling added a blow-a-kiss emoji for good measure.

Rowling — who boasts over 14 million followers on X — has received over 50,000 likes in an hour (and counting) for her retort. The following are but a handful of them:

  • "Aren’t book burners the bad guys in pretty much every history book ever?" one commenter wondered — after which Rowling responded, "And every last one of them believed they were on the right side of history."
  • "This clap back is glorious," another commenter declared.
  • "Ahhh the layers of burn in this tweet [are] pretty epic," another commenter observed.
  • "These attacks aren’t coming from smart people," another user noted. "Smart people would realize considering opinions that differ from your own is how you get smarter."
  • "Wait a minute. The books are great. This is an objective fact. No amount of hatred for you can change that," another commenter observed. "Just like no amount of hormones can change a man into a woman."
  • "No words to express how much I admire J.K. Rowling," another user stated.

They 'can save their apologies': JK Rowling won't forgive 'Harry Potter' stars for supporting gender transitions for minors



Author J.K. Rowling said that it is not a "safe" bet that she will forgive stars of the "Harry Potter" films after their years of support for gender transitions among minors.

The famous writer was discussing the work of Hilary Cass, a doctor who conducted research on gender transitioning in minors for the United Kingdom. The study ultimately led to the U.K.'s health system halting hormone blockers for children, the BBC reported.

Dr. Cass stated that "we don't have good evidence" that puberty blockers are safe to use to "arrest puberty."

Rowling described the work as the "most robust review of the medical evidence for transitioning children that's ever been conducted."

In a lengthy thread on X, Rowling stated that "committed ideologues" had doubled down on their transgender rhetoric, despite the information released in the study.

"These are people who've deemed opponents 'far-right' for wanting to know there are proper checks and balances in place before autistic, gay and abused kids - groups that are all overrepresented at gender clinics - are left sterilised, inorgasmic, lifelong patients," she added.

In response to her commentary, one reader said that he was waiting for "Harry Potter" film stars Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson to issue an apology to Rowling, adding that he felt "safe in the knowledge" that Rowling would forgive them.

Rowling did not confirm her fan's suspicions.

"Not safe, I'm afraid," Rowling replied. "Celebs who cosied up to a movement intent on eroding women's hard-won rights and who used their platforms to cheer on the transitioning of minors can save their apologies for traumatised detransitioners and vulnerable women reliant on single sex spaces."

When Rowling began questioning gender theory, actor Radcliffe provided a response through the Trevor Project, an organization that provides "crisis intervention and suicide prevention services" to LGBTQ youth.

"Transgender women are women," Radcliffe wrote. "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."

Similarly, actress Watson said in 2020 that "trans people are who they say they are," while noting that she donated to an organization called Mermaids.

As reported by the Daily Mail, that same organization later had a trustee quit after it emerged that he had spoken at a conference hosted by an organization that promotes services to pedophiles.

"We've now learned that Mermaids appointed a paedophilia apologist as Trustee and that their online moderator encouraged kids to move onto a platform notorious for sexual exploitation," Rowling said in 2022.

I want my trans followers to know that I and so many other people around the world see you, respect you and love you for who you are.

In her 2024 thread, Rowling asked why continuous proponents of child gender transitions are still riding "the bandwagon."

"Even if you don't feel ashamed of cheerleading for what now looks like severe medical malpractice, even if you don't want to accept that you might have been wrong, where's your sense of self-preservation? The bandwagon you hopped on so gladly is hurtling towards a cliff," the author continued.

The fiction writer concluded by saying that the consequences of child transitioning will "play out for decades" and said that young people have been "experimented on" and have been left "infertile and in pain."

JK Rowling BOLDLY challenged Scotland's new Hate Crime Act: 'I look forward to being arrested'



Scotland is not a promising place to live if you value free speech.

The country just passed the Hate Crime and Public Order Act, which makes it a criminal offense to stir up hatred with threatening or abusive behavior on the basis of characteristics including age, disability, religion, sexual orientation, and transgender identity.

One famous author took it upon herself to test the new act, daring the Scottish government to arrest her for violating its new laws against “hate speech.”

“The new legislation is wide open to abuse by activists who wish to silence those of us speaking out about the dangers of eliminating women’s and girl’s single sex spaces, the grotesque unfairness of allowing males to compete in female sports, and the reality and immutability of biological sex,” J.K. Rowling tweeted on X.

She ended her tweet with a challenge.

“If what I’ve written here qualifies as an offense under the terms of the new act, I look forward to being arrested when I return to the birthplace of the Scottish Enlightenment,” she wrote.

Her tweets have been declared as not criminal by the Scottish police, so she has promised to keep a lookout for other non-famous individuals being punished for the same expression of free speech.

Glenn Beck is impressed.

“What J.K. Rowling is experiencing is a window into what they’re trying to do here, but she’s not backing down,” Glenn says, before quoting a line from one of her "Harry Potter" novels that he believes should be applied here.

“Have you any idea how much tyrants fear the people they oppress? All of them realize that one day, amongst their many victims, there is sure to be one who rises against them and strikes back.”

Cori Bush says labeling 'cisgender' a slur marks 'a blatant attempt to erase trans identities'



After Elon Musk declared that the term "cisgender" and the accompanying abbreviation "cis" are counted as slurs on Twitter, Democratic Rep. Cori Bush of Missouri pushed back, asserting that the term is not a slur.

"'Cisgender' is not a slur. It is a term used used in scientific, legal, medical, and everyday contexts. The attempt to make 'cis' a slur is a blatant attempt to erase trans identities from a supposed 'free speech absolutist.' Trans people exist. Cis people exist," tweeted Bush, a left-wing lawmaker who has served in the U.S. House of Representatives since 2021.

Musk had indicated that there will be consequences for tweets that use the term.

"Repeated, targeted harassment against any account will cause the harassing accounts to receive, at minimum, temporary suspensions. The words 'cis' or 'cisgender' are considered slurs on this platform," Musk noted. He also stated that those who use the term "won't get suspended unless they do an egregious coordinated attack, but their post will see much less reach, as it will not be recommended to others."

When someone asked Musk whether the term is a slur if people self-identify as cisgender, Musk replied, "Call yourself anything you want."

"Harry Potter" author J.K. Rowling has also weighed in on the use of the term.

"'Cis' is ideological language, signifying belief in the unfalsifiable concept of gender identity. You have a perfect right to believe in unprovable essences that may or may not match the sexed body, but the rest of us have a right to disagree, and to refuse to adopt your jargon," Rowling tweeted.

"Exactly," Musk replied.

JK Rowling weighs in on the term 'cis,' calling it 'ideological language'



Proponents of radical leftist gender ideology use the term "cisgender" to refer to people who identify with their biological sex, but author J.K. Rowling of "Harry Potter" fame has noted that people have the right to decline to use such language.

"'Cis' is ideological language, signifying belief in the unfalsifiable concept of gender identity. You have a perfect right to believe in unprovable essences that may or may not match the sexed body, but the rest of us have a right to disagree, and to refuse to adopt your jargon," Rowling tweeted.

"Exactly," Twitter owner Elon Musk replied.

Musk has declared that the terms "cisgender" and the abbreviation "cis" count as "slurs" on Twitter.

"Repeated, targeted harassment against any account will cause the harassing accounts to receive, at minimum, temporary suspensions. The words 'cis' or 'cisgender' are considered slurs on this platform," Musk has tweeted.

Musk made the comment in response to James Esses, who had noted that "after posting a Tweet saying that I reject the word 'cis' and don’t wish to be called it, I receive a slew of messages from trans activists calling me 'cissy' and telling me that I am 'cis' 'whether or not I like it'." Esses then added, "Just imagine if the roles were reversed."

After Musk replied by saying that the term is a slur, Esses praised him.

"Thank you for standing up for reality, Elon," Esses tweeted.

"To those who have asked - this is not restricting free speech. I did not request, nor did Elon agree, to suspend accounts for using the term 'cis'. He is talking about 'repeated, targeted harassment'. What this does is restore parity and common sense," Esses also tweeted.

"Yes," Musk wrote, expressing his agreement with Esses' comments.

When someone asked Musk whether "cis" represents a slur when someone self-identifies with the term, Musk responded, "Call yourself anything you want."

Call yourself anything you want

'Non-man (formerly known as woman)': JK Rowling comments on glossary that defined 'lesbian' as 'non-man attracted to non-men'



Johns Hopkins University has yanked down an LGBTQ glossary that featured linguistic gymnastics in a bid to adhere to the doctrines of radical leftist gender ideology when defining the term "Lesbian."

"A non-man attracted to non-men," the definition stated. "While past definitions refer to 'lesbian' as a woman who is emotionally, romantically, and/or sexually attracted to other women, this updated definition includes non-binary people who may also identify with the label."

The glossary's definition for "Gay Man" read, "A man who is emotionally, romantically, sexually, affectionately, or relationally attracted to other men, or who identifies as a member of the gay community."

"Harry Potter" author J.K. Rowling, who in recent years has earned the ire of radical leftist gender ideology proponents, commented on the glossary definitions.

"Man: no definition needed. Non-man (formerly known as woman): a being definable only by reference to the male. An absence, a vacuum where there's no man-ness," Rowling tweeted.

\u201cMan: no definition needed. \nNon-man (formerly known as woman): \na being definable only by reference to the male. An absence, a vacuum where there's no man-ness.\u201d
— J.K. Rowling (@J.K. Rowling) 1686657647

Johns Hopkins University has posted a message on the webpage where the glossary was previously available.

"Johns Hopkins strives to create a campus culture that is inclusive and welcoming for all gender identities, sexual orientations, experiences and viewpoints, and we are committed to ensuring Johns Hopkins is a place where LGBTQ people feel supported," the statement reads.

"The LGBTQ Glossary serves as an introduction to the range of identities and terms that are used within LGBTQ communities, and is not intended to serve as the definitive answers as to how all people understand or use these terms," the school said. "Upon becoming aware of the language in question, we have begun working to determine the origin and context of the glossary’s definitions. We have removed the page from our website while we gather more information."
