Despite knowing that “many folks would be deeply unhappy with me,” in 2019, J.K. Rowling of “Harry Potter” fame sent a tweet defending Maya Forstater, who had lost her job for having written in a tweet that transgender women cannot change their biological sex.
“I do not see this particular movement as either benign or powerless,” Ms. Rowling said in a March 2023 interview. “So I’m afraid I stand with the women who are fighting to be heard against threats of loss of livelihood and threats to their safety.”
