No matter how hard she tries, there is probably no Patronus to take back what J.K. Rowling’s remarks about supporting British researcher Maya Forstater who was fired for her anti-trans tweets…
author took Twitter to speak out about Forstater saying, “Dress however you please. Call yourself whatever you like. Sleep with any consenting adult who’ll have you. Live your best life in peace and security. But force women out of their jobs for stating that sex is real? #IStandWithMaya #ThisIsNotADrill”
GLAAD reached out to Rowling’s publicist to have an off-the-record conversation involving members of the trans community to which they declined. Instead, GLAAD’s Head of Talent Anthony Ramos released a statement saying: “J.K. Rowling, whose books gave kids hope that they could work together to create a better world, has now aligned herself with an anti-science ideology that denies the basic humanity of people who are transgender.
Now is the time for feminists who know and support trans people to speak up and support trans people's right to be treated equally and fairly.
