J.K. Rowling Says Fighting For ‘Safety Of Women And Children’ Is Hill She’s Willing To Die On

Famed “Harry Potter” author J.K. Rowling said she has yet to find a better hill to die on than fighting for the “rights and safety of women and children” when it comes to the transgender athletes issue.

In a now-viral post on X, Rowling was told, “Love your work. But wonder why is this the hill you want to die on?” The author’s X account is filled with one attack after another from activists upset at her because she’s spoken out for the rights of women, especially when it comes to the issue of trans-identifying males going into women’s only spaces, like locker rooms and bathrooms, as well as playing in female only sports.

“If there’s a better hill to die on than the rights and safety of women and children, I’ve never found it,” the author responded.

It came after a post on the same day in which Rowling responded to a story from Scott Osler regarding the universities who have refused to play against San Jose State University due to its star trans-identifying male on the women’s volleyball team who goes by the name of Blaire Fleming, and his headline that read, ”The Great Volleyball Trans Hysteria.”

“He’s just one more person working backwards from the slogan he’s got to embrace to stay in the gang: ‘trans women are women,’” Rowling wrote. “They’ll abandon everything – empirical evidence, self-respect, basic ethics – rather than face the consequences of repudiating that idiotic mantra.”

In a follow-up post, Rowling reposted a message with which she said she agreed from former tennis legend Martina Navratilova who wrote that, “And the irony of the headline- the word HYSTERIA has been always ascribed to women overreacting since we can’t handle our emotions. In any case- @scottostler – happy to talk to you about this, if you’re interested in finding out more. Also- the women’s net is 9 inches lower…why?”

The author also responded to the story about trans-identifying male Montana state Rep. Zooey Zephyr who claimed, “We’re every bit as ‘biologically female’ as cis women…”

“If a man is a woman, there’s no such thing as a woman,” Rowling wrote. “You’re desperate to be categorized as female, but by entering the category, you destroy it. You know that, which must suck for you, but not as much as it sucks for the women & girls fighting to retain their rights and spaces.”
