Controversial author J.K. Rowling is shutting down the haters in new podcast

The first two episodes of J.K. Rowling’s new podcast have been released.

In them, the controversial figure addresses her controversial comments around transgender people, hitting out at those who claimed she “ruined” her legacy.

Rowling claims she “never set out to upset anyone” as she repeatedly shared her opinions on gender ideology – some of which have been branded “transphobic”.

In June 2020, she mocked an article using the phrase “People who menstruate” suggesting it should be titled “Women who menstruate”.

In response to the backlash this comment received, Rowling then wrote a 3600 word essay explaining why she is “worried about the new trans activism” and the effort “to erode the legal definition of sex and replace it with gender”.

She also described transgender woman having access to female bathrooms as“[throwing] open the doors of bathrooms and changing rooms to any man who believes or feels he’s a woman”.

The Witch Trials of J.K. Rowling podcast is made up of seven episodes, with the next five to be released weekly.
