Author J.K. Rowling has opened up this week about the harsh treatment she has received — including “thousands of threats of murder, rape and violence” — for daring to speak out against the dangers of gender ideology.

“A trans woman posted my family's home address with a bomb-making guide,” the British author of the “Harry Potter” books reveals in a now-viral Dec. 2 social media post, referring to a type of online attack known as “doxxing,” which is meant to endanger someone by publicly disclosing where they live.

“My eldest child was targeted by a prominent trans activist who attempted to doxx her and ended up doxxing the wrong young woman,” Rowling adds.

“I could write a twenty-thousand-word essay on what the consequences have been to me and my family, and what we've endured is NOTHING compared to the harm done to others.”

Rowling’s statement came in response to a Nov. 26 report in The New York Times in which some transgender activists speak critically of the “confrontational” tactics adopted by “more all-or-nothing voices in their movement.”

Rowling took issue with being cited as an example of someone who has been targeted with “unsparing criticism,” a description she feels deliberately downplays the severity of the abuse she and others have had to endure.

As Rowling points out, “many have lost their livelihoods” in addition to being canceled, threatened and ostracized, and “some have been physically assaulted by trans activists.”

She continues: “Female politicians have been forced to hire personal security on the advice of police. The news that one of the UK’s leading endocrinologists, Dr Hillary Cass, was advised not to travel by public transport for her own safety should shame everyone who let this insanity run amok.”

The Times article reflects the type of soul-searching some on the Left are doing now in the wake of Donald Trump’s broad support and overwhelming victory in the November presidential election.

A case that comes before the U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday concerning Tennessee’s ban on gender transition procedures for children has also put an unflattering spotlight on radical transgender ideology. The law was a response to a 2022 investigation led by The Daily Wire’s Matt Walsh, who recorded medical professionals in the state discussing transgender procedures as “a huge money maker” and pressured doctors to ignore their religious beliefs or face “consequences.”

“Now the political landscape has shifted, and some who've been riding high on their own supply are waking up with a hell of a hangover,” Rowling quips in her social media post.

“They’ve started wondering whether calling left-wing feminists who wanted all-female rape centres ‘Nazis’ was such a smart strategy,” she continues. “Maybe parents arguing that boys ought not to be robbing their daughters of sporting opportunities might, sort of, have a point? Possibly letting any man who says, ‘I’m a woman’ into the locker room with twelve-year-old girls could have a downside, after all?”

The shift in attitudes in the United States comes years after Rowling’s country began to roll back its embrace of transgender ideology, culminating in the 2022 shuttering of the Tavistock Gender Identity Development Service that dealt with children as young as 10, sparked by outrage from parents and others. As The Economist stated at the time: “The tide in Britain appears to be turning against groups who espouse the belief that gender identity trumps all else, and towards maintaining support for sex-based rights and evidence-based medicine.”

Whistleblowers alleged that the clinic was under pressure from transgender activists to jump-start the transition process, while failing to give sufficient weight to patients’ mental-health history.

Recent studies in the U.S. speak to the dangers of children and teens making life-altering decisions about their bodies. Many adults who previously experienced gender dysphoria report that their feelings resolved as they reached adulthood, raising serious questions about the long-term impact of such interventions.

“U.S. gender activists have an insanely tight chokehold on American politics, media, corporations, medical institutions and more,” journalist Mary Margaret Olohan, who authored a recent book on the topic, told the Register earlier this year.

“Even as we see European countries taking steps to protect children from these irreversible procedures, our own medical institutions and medical professionals seem to be turning both a blind eye and ear to what is going on in the world around them as they continue to push these procedures on struggling youth,” she said.

“A full reckoning on the effects of gender ideology on individuals, society and politics is still a long way off,” Rowling commented in her post, “but I know this: the receipts will make very ugly reading when that time comes, and there are far too many of them to sweep politely under the carpet.”
