J.K. Rowling Criticizes Woke Critics, Affirms “No Trans Kids Exist”

J.K. Rowling caused a stir with a recent social media post where she stated that “there are no trans kids” and that no child is “born in the wrong body.” This declaration, posted on X (previously Twitter), has been met with both support and criticism due to Rowling’s strong views on transgender issues.

As a vocal critic of transgender rights, Rowling has faced backlash for her opinions on women’s rights and the transgender community. This latest post represents a notable increase in her public statements on the subject.

In response to Rowling’s post, reactions were divided. While many of her supporters applauded her for taking a stand, labeling her a “hero” for opposing what they consider a harmful ideology, others strongly criticized her comments.

One user highlighted, “Most transgender adults were once transgender children. Denying their existence doesn’t erase them, it does however make it harder for them to get the support and care they need.”

This controversy arises amid ongoing discussions about the upcoming HBO Max series based on the Harry Potter books. Despite facing backlash from fans who disagree with her views on transgender issues, Rowling is set to be an executive producer on the series.

HBO has stood by its decision to work with Rowling, emphasizing the enduring appeal of the Harry Potter stories and reiterating their commitment to the project. In a statement to Variety, the company expressed, “We are proud to once again tell the story of Harry Potter – the heartwarming books that speak to the power of friendship, resolve, and acceptance. J.K. Rowling has a right to express her personal views. We will remain dedicated to the development of the new series, which will benefit from her involvement.”

The forthcoming Harry Potter series, scheduled to debut in 2026, promises a deeper dive into the beloved wizarding world. However, the ongoing controversy about Rowling’s involvement continues to overshadow the project.
