The Mail Online reports: And in a post shared to X – formerly Twitter – the Harry Potter author appeared to go a step further, suggesting transgender children do not exist.
She was responding to a critic who accused her of ‘hateful focus on trans kids’.
But Rowling hit back: ‘There are no trans kids. No child is “born in the wrong body”. There are only adults like you, prepared to sacrifice the health of minors to bolster your belief in an ideology that will end up wreaking more harm than lobotomies and false memory syndrome combined.’
The post elicited an array of strong comments, most supportive of the 59-year-old.
One person said ‘J.K. Is a hero’ while another added ‘as far as I’m concerned, you ARE using your immense power for good’.
This comes as the user who had initially criticised Rowling also said they wished she would use her ‘immense power for good’.
Rowling posted in response to a critic where she made the comments there are ‘no trans kids’ and ‘no child is “born in the wrong body”‘
Someone replied saying ‘Truth!’ while another person thanked Rowling for posting the statement to X
