J.K. Rowling reveals truth in response to trans-activist

Author J.K. Rowling exposed the radical transgender activist playbook in a recent post to X, highlighting the response she’d gotten from a critic and explaining that she’d never seen the position articulated “so honestly.”

The conversation began with a question posed to Rowling, asking her how she defined “woman” and whether it just came down to having female “equipment” or if she believed one must make use of said equipment in order to truly be a woman.

The “Harry Potter” author responded with a lengthy post, saying in part that she believed that women — in addition to their biological realities — were defined by a set of lived experiences that no trans-identifying male could ever have.

You’ve asked me several questions on this thread and accused me of avoiding answering, so here goes.

I believe a woman is a human being who belongs to the sex class that produces large gametes. It’s irrelevant whether or not her gametes have ever been fertilised, whether or not… pic.twitter.com/X6mbdJ0YVm

“I believe a woman is a human being who belongs to the sex class that produces large gametes. It’s irrelevant whether or not her gametes have ever been fertilised, whether or not she’s carried a baby to term, irrelevant if she was born with a rare difference of sexual development that makes neither of the above possible, or if she’s aged beyond being able to produce viable eggs,” Rowling said. “She is a woman and just as much a woman as the others.”

She went on to say that women could not be put in boxes, adding, “Women are provably subject to certain experiences because of our female bodies, including different forms of oppression, depending on the cultures in which we live. When trans activists say ‘I thought you didn’t want to be defined by your biology,’ it’s a feeble and transparent attempt at linguistic sleight of hand. Women don’t want to be limited, exploited, punished, or subject to other unjust treatment because of their biology, but our being female is indeed defined by our biology.”

Rowling followed addressed several other topics — including her opinions on gender dysphoria and medical treatments aimed at aiding those suffering from gender dysphoria to “transition” to the opposite sex — and her continued passion for protecting women’s spaces, particularly for those who had been victims of sexual abuse and domestic violence.

And while some responded positively to the author’s lengthy explanation, the one Rowling highlighted rejected her words out of hand.

“That’s a whole lotta words and quite frankly I’m not f***ing reading all that. I just wanted to say that it’s weirder to do all the instead of just believing that trans women are women. Seriously, at this point which sounds more insane to the average person?”

Rowling blacked out the name of the person who had sent that reply and shared a screenshot with the following response: “This is the bottom line of every single activist I’ve ever engaged with on this issue, but rarely have I seen it stated so honestly. ‘Why can’t you just believe, it’s so weird you care, why make this complicated, just accept the slogan.’”
