JK Rowling reacts to controversial Supreme Court ruling on what legally defines a woman following Trump’s executive order in the US
The Supreme Court’s Deputy President warned ‘against reading this judgement as a triumph’ but JK Rowling has taken to Twitter anyway
Warning: This article contains discussion of discrimination against the trans community which some readers may find distressing.
The Supreme Court ruled the legal definition of a woman does not include transgender women and JK Rowling has spoken out in ‘pride’.
Transgender women are women, but after Britain’s Supreme Court declared yesterday (Wednesday, April 16) they’re not legally women in a landmark ruling – shockingly – JK Rowling has taken to her keyboard.
Rowling’s comments about the trans community have lead to her facing accusations of transphobia on social media, with the author named alongside Elon Musk in a cyberbullying lawsuit filed by Olympic champion Imane Khelif.
She’s even suggested she’d rather go to prison than refer to a transgender person by their preferred pronouns and she’s now taken to Twitter once again since the landmark ruling.
