Thank you. I am a life-long progressive and defender of human rights, and I think gender ideology is insane, unscientific, and based on steryotypes that I and many others who work with young kids have struggled with for ages. I think the world of J.K. Rowlings. She has her flaws, like everyone, but on the whole, she is one of the good people, particularly on this issue. Her attackers claim she is promoting genocide, but they do not get that one of the themes of the Harry Potter books is that Voldemort is promoting genocide and a form of ethnic cleansing against against us "muggles". Harry and his friends are fighting him on that issue and others. And yes, I am a published writer, and I don't think any writer should be treated the ways she and others have. It is true that there are threats of censhorship coming from the radical right, but many current "progressives" promote it too, May we move towards sane times. Work with us, Harry!
I think the hate for Rowling is in part because the extreme activists expected her to be on their side. There's also a ton of misogyny and narcissism in telling a woman that she doesn't have autonomy over who she sleeps with.
