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:
Over the last four years, Hilary Cass has conducted the most robust review of the medical evidence for transitioning children that's ever been conducted. Mere hours after it was released to the press and public, committed ideologues are doubling down. 1/6 https://t.co/J4fA4JYgkC

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:
“Just waiting for Dan and Emma to give you a very public apology … safe in the knowledge that you will forgive them …”
But the 58-year-old made her feelings clear:
“Not safe, I’m afraid. 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.”

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.
