The had to know the Creator of the “Harry Potter”, after she had the audacity to ask Twitter a question.
she posted a article about a development assistance project, in its Headline, it’s about “people who menstruate”. Rowling wrote: “I’m sure we have a word for that, can someone help me?” What I meant of course “woman”.

But with such intricacies of the Community’s hate. And even less you can of the fact impress that has made Rowling always misunderstood and marginalized people. Because in this Community, only the condition matters loose subjection to a set of beliefs: There is no biological gender is only a social.
anyone Who doubts that is fought to the death. So, also Rowling. “Shut your disgusting TERF-face, @jk_rowling. No one wants to hear your transphobic Shit.” Such messages are to be discontinued since been Thousands on Twitter.

Also, at the time, Rowling was met with hostility for days, violently. Obviously, the author is not only against bullying. She also has the courage to take on bullying against themselves in buying for what they is convinced.
