Good on JK Rowling for firmly correcting former “Harry Potter” actress Emma “Hermione” Watson and (implicitly) her fellow former child star Daniel Radcliffe, who’ve been denouncing their benefactor for years — purely because the now-billionaire author has refused to bend to the bullying lies of trans extremists.
Rowling has never expressed an iota of disapproval of trans people (indeed, she’s supportive) — she’s only flamed back at critics who demand she back off her stalwart defense of women’s spaces.
Shelters for battered women, hospital wards, prisons, school and store changing rooms, rape crisis centers: It’s insane to let a biological male simply declare himself female and so gain the right to enter such places.
Experience has proved time and again that predators will exploit any such rules, and use them to assault, rape and otherwise violate vulnerable women.
Even if no man actually enters, the possibility robs these women of their right to feel safe.
The author understands these realities in part because she knew hard times before her epic success — unlike the actors who rose to riches playing characters she created.
Watson, she noted, “has so little experience of real life, she’s ignorant of how ignorant she is.”
The no-longer-kids chose to join in assailing Rowling during the recent years of peak woke, when it seemed the “enlightened” might succeed in criminalizing dissent. (On other issues, that still seems possible in Keir Starmer’s Britain.)
It was Watson’s bid to step down with impunity from her pedestal of false moral superiority that triggered Rowling’s long-delayed ire, and good for JK, who’s endured ostracism, death threats and horrific vitriol for standing up for her principles when she could’ve sat back and just enjoyed the success she’s earned.
Plenty of people will see the Potter books as her greatest contribution to civilization, but in our eyes, her stalwart defense of women’s rights is tops.
