There have been a lot [of threats over the past few years], a huge amount. As every woman will realize who speaks up on this issue, a enormous amount of “I long for her to choke on my fat, trans dick,” you know, like very sexualized abuse. I don’t think all of them mean it literally, but attempts to degrade, to humiliate. People might state, “well, that’s not really a threat.” And you know what? Up to a point, you’re probably right, though it’s very unpleasant to be on the receiving end of it, particularly in the quantities I’ve had.
Then I have had direct threats of violence, and I have had people coming to my
Is JK Rowling transphobic?
Is JK Rowling transphobic? According to many transgender activists and their supporters, including Harry Potter stars Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint, and Eddie Redmayne she is. The LGBTQ+ organisation GLAAD (Gay & Queer woman Alliance Against Defamation) has said that the writer “continues to align herself with an ideology which wilfully distorts facts about gender identity and people who are trans. In 2020, there is no excuse for targeting gender non-conforming people.”
Rowling herself thinks these accusations are absurd. In one tweet she said, “The idea that women like me, who’ve been empathetic to trans people for decades, feeling kinship because they’re vulnerable in the same way as women—i.e., to male violence—‘hate’ trans people because they think sex is genuine and has lived consequences—is a nonsense.”
For someone favor myself – a pale, cisgender, heterosexual man – the rancour and bile generated by this debate is puzzling. My life organising a public debate with someone closely identified with one side of this dispute only added to my bafflement. It left me convinced that our current inability to discuss our disagreements about trans issues
dumbledore is Gay, and I’m mad
hogwarts headmaster outed
Harry Potter series author J. K. Rowling announced yesterday that Albus Dumbledore, headmaster of Hogwarts School, is lgbtq+.
ABC News confirmed the announcement, reporting that Potter fans reacted with laughter, pride, and ire “as author Rowling pushes Potter mentor out of the closet.” A Potter fan myself, I felt a mix of loss and disappointment when I heard the news, along with a faint irritation toward Rowling I couldn’t quite shake.
I knew my reaction wasn’t about personal tolerance—so why, then, did Rowling’s words and actions feel so fundamentally wrong? Why did her characterization of her intentions leave me not just skeptical, but outright irritated?
As a psychoanalyst, self-examination is not just a professional skill—it’s a personal necessity. That day, I wrestled with my have reactions, questioning not just what irritated me about Rowling’s revelation, but why. By evening, clarity emerged, and with it this essay.

J.K. Rowling's name has grow synonymous with her mythical "Harry Potter" book series, but she is also famous for something more controversial: her public and often contentious views on the transgender community. While the final "Harry Potter" book was released in 2011, the last several years have seen a renewed uptick in news about Rowling due to her disparaging remarks about transgender people. This has led to backlash from many in the fantasy community and even from the three stars of the acclaimed "Harry Potter" film series. But despite the controversy, Rowling has not shown any signs of slowing down.
2018: Rowling 'likes' an anti-trans tweet, says it was an accident
An early instance of Rowling facing allegations of transphobia came in March 2018, when she was slammed for "liking" a tweet that referred to trans women as "men in dresses." But the author's spokesperson told Pink News this was purely an accident. "I'm afraid J.K. Rowling had a clumsy and middle-aged moment and this is not the first occasion she has favorited by holding her phone incorrectly," the spokesperson said.
Rowling later said she "absent-mindedly" liked the tweet when she meant to screenshot it
