“Harry Potter” author and female rights activist JK Rowling blasted The New York Times on Monday for the “rewriting of history” about transgender activists’ vicious tactics, while Rowling outlined just how much she and others have suffered for speaking out for girls and women.
Rowling posted a screenshot of a Times article that suggests trans activists are going to have to moderate their “unsparing criticism” of those who disagree with them, ever since Democrats lost the 2024 election and Americans are increasingly disagreeing with the trans agenda.
“The rewriting of history begins,” Rowling wrote. “Opponents of gender ideology haven’t merely ‘endured unsparing criticism’. I haven’t simply been told I ‘betrayed real feminism’ or received a few book-burning videos.”
“I’ve been sent thousands of threats of murder, rape and violence,” the author outlined. “A trans woman posted my family’s home address with a bomb-making guide. My eldest child was targeted by a prominent trans activist who attempted to doxx her and ended up doxxing the wrong young woman.”

“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 said. “By standing up to a movement that relies on threats of violence, ostracisation and guilt-by-association, all of us have been smeared and defamed, but many have lost their livelihoods. Some have been physically assaulted by trans activists. 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.”
Now that the “political landscape has shifted,” she highlighted, “some who’ve been riding high on their own supply are waking up with a hell of a hangover.”
“They’ve started wondering whether calling left-wing feminists who wanted all-female rape centers ‘Nazis’ was such a smart strategy,” Rowling mocked. “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?”
Eventually, a “reckoning” is coming, Rowling said.
“Mealy-mouthed retconning of what has actually happened over the past ten years is predictable but will not stand,” she wrote. “I don’t doubt those who’ve turned a blind eye to the purges of non-believers, or even applauded and encouraged them, would rather minimize what the true cost of speaking out was, but ‘yes, maybe trans activists went a little over the top at times’ takes are frankly insulting.”
“A full reckoning on the effects of gender ideology on individuals, society and politics is still a long way off, 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,” she closed the post.
