Furious JK Rowling delivers horrific attack on New York Times article downplaying brutal trans activist movement ‘depending on threats of violence’
JK Rowling has furiously hit back at the New York Times after it published a piece saying opponents of gender ideology often had to ‘endure their unsparing criticism’.
The Harry Potter author argued that the newspaper had seriously downplayed the trans activist movement and that its response had in fact been much more threatening.
She said she had received “thousands of threats of murder, rape and violence” and that her address had been posted with a “bomb-making guide.”
It came after the article, published on November 26, said Ms Rowling had simply been accused of betraying ‘real feminism’ after speaking out against gender ideology.
The article also noted that “a few angry critics posted videos of themselves burning her books.”
Similarly, it discussed how a Democratic congressman was labeled a “Nazi collaborator” after raising concerns about trans athletes competing in women’s sports.

“I wasn’t just told I’ve ‘betrayed real feminism’ or received a few book burning videos. I have received thousands of threats of murder, rape and violence.

“A trans woman posted my family’s home address with a bomb-making manual. My oldest child was targeted by a prominent trans activist who tried to doxx her and ended up doxxing the wrong young woman.
“I could write a 20,000 word essay about the impact on me and my family, and what we have endured is NOTHING compared to the damage done to others.
“By standing up to a movement based on threats of violence, exclusion and guilt, we have all been smeared and vilified, but many have lost their livelihoods.”
The Harry Potter author previously criticized Barbra Banda after the Orlando Pride were named BBC women’s footballer of the year.
She was also involved in a number of Twitter feuds with trans newsreader India Willoughby.
It comes after Ms Rowling criticized John Oliver for ‘spitting bulls***’ during a segment of his show in which he said women do not face safety risks by competing with trans athletes.
On a final episode of Last Week Tonight in November, Oliver said there was “no evidence.” [trans athletes] not post any threats to safety or fairness.”
“There are virtually no trans girls competing in high schools anywhere,” Oliver began.
“Even if there were more, trans children, like all children, vary in athletic ability and there is no evidence that they pose a threat to safety or fairness. It’s very strange that you are so focused on this subject.’
Rowling described the late-night host as “an undoubtedly intelligent person who is spouting absolute nonsense*** to support something he wants to be true but isn’t.”
She added in her message to world population is embraced, reasonable; you can give your opinion.
A few lines from the response to the New York Times piece that JK Rowling posted on X yesterday
“But if you’ve just told girls they don’t deserve fair sport, maybe reconsider using all-too-real and common sexual predation against young women as the punchline to your ‘edgy’ closing joke.”
Citing the case of Payton McNabb, the volleyball player who was left partially paralyzed by a transgender opponent hitting her in the face with a ball at age 17, she said, “Girls have been kicked off teams to make way for boys. Women have suffered serious injuries playing against trans-identified men.
McNabb was 17 when a ball forcefully spiked by a transgender opponent struck her in the face, throwing her to the ground and shutting down her consciousness.
The 6-foot-2 trans player cackled with joy, Ms. McNabb said, after sending her to the ground. Just like other players on the other team.
Ms. McNabb suffered brain damage and paralysis on her right side, which ended her dreams of getting a college scholarship for volleyball and made it difficult to walk without falling.
She previously told DailyMail.com that she worries about other female athletes having to compete against trans athletes.
She said: ‘There is a biological difference between the two [trans women and women]this is why there is a difference in sports in the first place.
“It’s dangerous to have those two [sexes] competing together, and just not okay. Personally, I’m disgusted by this. This is morally wrong and evil.
‘It used to be illegal for men to beat up women, and now people put it on TV and watch it. It’s such a strange reality we live in now.’
