(OPINION) Harry Potter creator and women’s rights activist J.K. Rowling has told her fans on social media that there is no such thing as a transgender kid and that no child is born in the “wrong body.”
Rowling engaged series of messages on X on Saturday but after being accused of perpetrating a “hateful focus on trans kids,” the children’s books author seemed to insist that there is no such thing as a trans kid in the first place.
“There are no trans kids. No child is ‘born in the wrong body,’” she wrote. “There are only adults like you, prepared to sacrifice the health of minors to bolster your belief in an ideology that will end up wreaking more harm than lobotomies and false memory syndrome combined.”
In another post, Rowling blamed some of society’s problems on a type of cultural contamination where social media convinces children that they are transgender.
When one X user said that parents are to blame for transgendering of kids, Rowling responded, saying, “Kids are watching TikTok videos of surgeons selling the idea that bodies can be modified like Lego. Schools affirm kids’ trans identities behind parents’ backs.
A certain kids’ charity in the UK sent out breast binders to pubescent girls without parental consent.” “Many parents are struggling to protect kids from a Zeitgeist telling them that anxieties about puberty, sexuality and growing up can be fixed by lifelong reliance on Big Pharma and by doctors who make Frankenstein look ethical,” she added.
Rowling went on to say that parents are facing strong headwinds as schools and the Internet continue to push transgenderism on kids outside the home.
She also blasted the entire scheme of transgenderism for pushing a false nirvana. She noted that transgender medical intervention “causes infertility, the loss of the ability to orgasm and a lifetime’s reliance on powerful hormones your body wasn’t designed to cope with,” she wrote.
