Rowling has just published a wide-ranging response to criticism she’s received since Saturday, and going back a year, about her views on transgender people. Enter The Times of London, declaring in an op-ed Wednesday that “Rowling Is Right,” referring of course to the author of the Harry Potter stories, J.K. Rowling. That was followed by a decidedly pro-inclusion and unabashedly pro-transgender statement issued by Harry Potter himself, Daniel Radcliffe. Based on The Trevor Project's research, we know that affirming gender identity among trans youth is consistently associated with lower rates of suicide attempts. Since J.K. Rowling came to her defense as a fellow transgender-exclusionary radical feminist, or TERF, today Forstater returned the favor and shared The Times’ editorial.
