Not everybody has jumped on the powerful wave of gender transitions. The author of the immensely popular Harry Potter stories fights the current momentum of that wave. J.K. Rowling thinks that male and female sexes are biologically real rather than defined by a state of mind.
In connection with women's rights, she really doesn't like it when men claim to be women: "Men defining what a woman is, what women should and shouldn’t fear, what women should and shouldn’t say . . [is the] ‘real’ misogyny: get a bloody mirror. That’s real misogyny, looking right back at you." She says woman is not a costume, an idea in a man's head, or a pink brain.
The number of girls transitioning to male in Scotland has grown by over 4000%, fed on "social contagion" through social media. She's worried about this. So she's been cancelled on Twitter, of course, and quit tweeting for a while to regain peace. She explains all this on her website.
She bravely fights for what she believes to be right . . as her fictional creation Harry did.
