(cont'd from yesterday's post)
From Rowling's blog in 2020: "[W]oman’ is not a costume. ‘Woman’ is not an idea in a man’s head. ‘Woman’ is not a pink brain, a liking for Jimmy Choos or any of the other sexist ideas now somehow touted as progressive."
She tweets about the common sense of biological sex. For example, the Scottish police in 2021 apprehended a rapist who wanted to be called a woman, so they absurdly agreed to record the crime as being committed by a woman. Her Twitter response to that story was biting sarcasm:
"Freedom is Slavery. "Ignorance is Strength. "The Penised Individual Who Raped You Is a Woman."
For expressing opinions, her attackers make her pay a price with "relentless abuse and death threats."
The actor who played Voldemort (in the Harry Potter movies) tried to defend her, saying "The verbal abuse directed at her is disgusting, it’s appalling."
