J.K. Rowling Calls Out Trans Activists Over Men Being Put In Women's Prisons
J.K. Rowling is taking aim at transgender activists who refuse to defend women's spaces.
Rowling has been a very vocal supporter of women's rights, and making sure spaces designed for women can't be invaded by males claiming to be female.
The "Harry Potter" author has faced criticism from people who seem not to pay attention to what she really says, but to her credit, Rowling has refused to bend the knee.
She continued that trend Tuesday with a lengthy tweet about keeping men out of women's prisons - a disturbing trend society has watched unfold.
J.K. Rowling calls out people refusing to defend women.
Rowling sent a viral tweet arguing that the reason trans activists can't call out the insanity of males in prisons for women is because it could cause everything to collapse.
"The trans activist outrage that ensues on here whenever I share my belief that jailed women shouldn't be used as validation tools or emotional support props for trans-identified male sex offenders is as revealing as it's predictable. Such activists can't bring themselves to concede that a man who was convicted of harming women/girls ought not to be incarcerated with the demographic to whom he is a proven danger, because if they do, all their stock arguments ('no sexual predator would bother to pretend to be trans', 'no trans woman has ever harmed a woman in a women's only space', 'there is no danger in making all single sex spaces unisex') are exposed as the lies they are. If they admit that even a single man isn't a woman because he says he is, the entire edifice of gender identity ideology crumbles," Rowling tweeted to her nearly 14 million followers on X. The tweet has currently been seen by nearly 250,000 as of publication.
She followed up that statement with, "This leaves activists who rely on bullying and slogans with nowhere to go but 'you hate all trans people', 'so you're saying all trans people are rapists' and, of course, 'you are causing a trans genocide.' I think this particular issue also causes conniptions because it threatens the activists' self image. These are people who preen themselves on their kindness and virtue, so acknowledging the truth - that they're indifferent to vulnerable women being assaulted or traumatised - threatens the idea they have of themselves. They therefore double down. The prisoners complaining aren't really afraid of rape or voyeurism or violence at all, they say. They're 'not exactly delicate flowers', as one self-identified empath put it."
The "Harry Potter" creator concluded, "If you support putting violent and sexually predatory men into women's prisons, you are knowingly forcing those women to live in fear of, and, in some proven cases, to suffer abuse that many of them will have endured pre-incarceration. You are not kind. You are not righteous. Women have the basic human right not to suffer cruel and unusual punishment. #WomensRightsAreHumanRights."
J.K. Rowling isn't standing down.
As stated above, Rowling has faced an incredible amount of backlash for standing up for women's spaces and defending females from being harassed and bothered.
It should be a viewpoint that isn't controversial at all. Males and females have scientific differences wired into their DNA, muscles, bones and chromosomes. There's nothing on the planet that can change that, and acknowledging it doesn't make Rowling a bigot. It means she believes in science and biology.
Yet, she's been painted as a horrible person who must be canceled because she doesn't want males in spaces reserved for females - especially violent males in prison.
Fortunately, Rowling has so much money that she can't be canceled. That's resulted in her being a strong voice against the most insane parts of the woke mind virus infecting the world when it comes to transgenderism and other issues.
You simply can't silence her, and it would be nice if other people also had the same kind of courage.
