J.K. Rowling described transgender activism in the 21st century as “elitist,” adding that her political views “haven’t changed,” despite having faced “an avalanche of death, rape, and torture threats.”
“It’s been six years since I wrote my essay explaining why I chose to speak up on the issue of trans activism and the risk I believe it poses to women’s rights, and to everyone’s freedom of speech and belief,” Rowling wrote in a new essay, published on Wednesday.
“My views haven’t changed,” the “Harry Potter” author continued. “But the landscape certainly has, and my own involvement in the issue has become practical as well as theoretical, so I thought it was time for an update.”
Rowling went on to pen an update to her June 2020 essay, titled, “J.K. Rowling Writes about Her Reasons for Speaking out on Sex and Gender Issues.”
