J.K. Rowling isn’t backing down from her transphobia. In fact, she wants Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson to back down from their support for the trans community!
On Wednesday, the disgraced Harry Potter author spiraled in an X (Twitter) tirade about Hilary Cass’ newly-published review on the effects of children medically transitioning. She called it “severe medical malpractice” in a series of posts, which you can read through (below) if you must:

Clearly, she and some of her followers feel vindicated by the review in their commitment to anti-trans ideologies. One user even suggested Daniel and Emma owe Jo an apology for their pro-trans statements:
But the 58-year-old made her feelings clear:
Oof. Clearly she thinks they SHOULD apologize, just not to her.
Both Daniel and Emma have made their support for the trans community well known in the wake of J.K.’s anti-trans comments. Neither has responded to her social media post yet, nor do they ever really talk about the once celebrated creator anymore. It seems at this point all the author wants to do is wage a war of words against a very small minority whose right really don’t affect her life. Such a sad hill to die on for such an accomplished woman.
Thoughts? Let us know down in the comments.
