J.K. Rowling faces backlash again for interacting with transphobic groups

J.K. Rowling is again facing backlash for more anti-transgender behavior. JK Rowling has faced criticism a number of times in the past for similar occurrences. She previously liked a tweet stating transgender women are “men in dresses” which a representative clumsily tried to cover up. As well as for following “self-professed transphobe” Magdalen Berns on Twitter.

Now, the Harry Potter author is in hot water for following and liking a number of anti-trans accounts and sentiments.

Just in December, Rowling faced a massive backlash for tweeting in support of Maya Forstater who lost her job for misgendering trans people. Now, less than six months later, fans have noticed JK Rowling is back at the same behavior. She’s following a number of anti-trans accounts and has even allegedly liked tweets supporting their sentiments. 

Twitter user @sineadactually recently noted a number of radical TERF (Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminist) groups that Rowling followed and pointed out anti-trans interactions in which Rowling has participated.

Following this, a number of other people began to investigate and noticed even more anti-trans support by the Harry Potter creator.

One user is just in shock that someone who could write something so profound and accepting could end up being bigoted toward anybody.

I can’t believe JK Rowling wrote the words “It matters not what someone is born but what they grow to be.” but is still transphobic…
