The New York Times published an article titled “In Defense of J.K. Rowling” today.
Here's what exactly they're "defending"
We’re talking about someone who has:

Compared being trans to "conversion therapy", a dangerous and disproven practice.

Questioned hormone replacement therapy despite lacking any medical expertise.

Incorporated transphobic plots into her mystery novels.
Rowling upped her transphobia to new levels in 2020 by publishing a manifesto defending her transphobic beliefs and disparaging the community.
That same year she mocked the use of the phrase “people who menstruate,” ignoring the fact that not everyone who menstruates identifies as a woman.
In 2021, she proceeded to criticize police for using a person’s correct gender identity in their reporting.
Rowling’s history of transphobia is rampant and inexcusable. If you want to know the extent of her hate, read for yourself.
The New York Times isn’t defending J.K. Rowling — they’re emboldening transphobic views and giving people a free pass to discriminate against and harm trans people.
We need to make it clear to
@nytimes this is unacceptable.
