J.K. Rowling Maintains Her Statements About Transgender Women Are “Profoundly” Misunderstand

For J.K. Rowling, the last few years have been far from ideal. The best-selling British author has faced public wrath for her opinions on transgender women. The outcry has led to a decline in the popularity of the author.

People have been quick to boycott her, canceling her in the light of her transphobic views and radical opinions. But the ‘Harry Potter’ author has had enough. She will take hold of the narrative around her with an upcoming podcast titled ‘The Witch Trials Of J.K. Rowling.’

People Have “Profoundly” Misunderstood J.K. Rowling

The best-selling British looks to respond to her critics

J.K. Rowling never set out to upset anyone. It’s been two years since the public opinion against her has gone downhill. She has gone from being a best-selling author to becoming a lamb to slaughter for radical woke politics.

On the podcast ‘The Witch Trials Of J.K. Rowling,’ the author maintains her stance is misinterpreted, saying, “What has interested me in recent years, particularly on social media [is when fans say], ‘You’ve ruined your legacy. Oh, you could have been beloved forever, but you chose to say this.’ And I think: ‘You could not have misunderstood me more profoundly.”

The podcast will feature interviews with the author’s supporters and critics, journalists, historians, clinicians, and more. The podcast will put all the controversies around the author and her books under an unbiased investigative lens.

In June 2020, her series of tweets sparked outrage among the netizens. The 57-year-old author posted a comment on an article. Devex, a media platform for the global development community, posted this article.

J.K. Rowling shared her thoughts about the post, which were deemed “anti-trans” and “transphobic.” In a follow-up tweet, she debated the idea that there was an alternative biological order. 

J.K. Rowling also faced backlash from John Stewart. He believed Rowling was guilty of crafting a story based on anti-semitic tropes. Later, he clarified himself, saying he never called the author an anti-Semite. 

While most of the cast associated with ‘Harry Potter’ movies have called out the book’s writer, a few stood by the author. Actor Brian Cox and Helena Bonham Carter have supported J.K. Rowling.

The Witch Trials of J.K. Rowling‘ podcast debuts on February 21, 2023, on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and other audio platforms.
